Storyline

"Mr. Chibbs" is an observational documentary that follows NBA All-Star Kenny Anderson, in the midst of a mid life crisis and on a journey to find himself 10 years post retirement. Everything came easy, but when he lost it all, he had to figure out who he was minus his famous handle. — JIll Campbell This observational documentary follows NYC basketball prodigy and retired NBA All-Star Kenny Anderson in the midst a mid-life crisis and on a journey to find himself. Reeling from his mother's death and a subsequent DUI, "Chibbs" visits people and arenas from his past, confronting haunting memories of alcoholism and abuse, ultimately finding solace in becoming the father he never had time to be. Combining unseen archival footage with raw moments of reflection, "Mr. Chibbs" explores what an athlete goes through once their talent fades and they are forced to face who they will be for the rest of their lives. Ten years after retirement from a career as a professional athlete, Kenny Anderson finds that basketball is easy, it's life that's hard. Still reeling from his mother's death, the former New York City high-school prodigy and NBA All-Star loses a cherished coaching position, sending him into a midlife crisis. Facing his personal demons head-on, the charismatic Anderson must come to terms with his past in order to find a way forward. — Jill Campbell
