Synopsis

"Trailblazer" is the story of Bahamian basketball legend Mychal Thompson, who started playing basketball at the late age of 16 in his native Bahamas some 50 years ago. After a chance meeting with a coach from Miami Jackson High School, Thompson received a scholarship and led his high school team to an undefeated national championship, and then four years later, after an outstanding career at the University of Minnesota, he became the first foreign-born number one draft pick in NBA history. Thompson played with the Portland Trailblazers for eight years before he went on to win two NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers.
