As part of Hulu's second annual Hulu Days of Summer promotion and in conjunction with tonight’s NBA Draft, the site is exclusively providing online access to Gunnin' for That #1 Spot. The film, directed by Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys, follows eight of the top 24 high school basketball players in the country on and off the court as they prepare to showcase their abilities during the “Elite 24” all-star game played at the most legendary basketball playground in the world, Rucker Park.
Rucker Park, long considered to be modern basketball’s Mecca, is in Harlem, New York. Almost every notable NBA player from Wilt Chamberlin to Michael Jordan to LeBron James has played there.

Additionally, the site is featuring On Any Sunday, a classic motorcycle racing documentary that follows the lives of motorcycle racers and racing enthusiasts, including actor Steve McQueen. Directed by Bruce Brown (The Endless Summer), the film looks at the people who devote (and sometimes risk) their lives to racing on tracks and off-road courses around the world, asking the question "Why do they do it?”
