Description

Danny Basavich is an affable, heavyset kid from New Jersey who struggles to find his place until he discovers an extraordinary talent for pool. As he adopts the colorful nickname “Kid Delicious,” he enters the high-stakes world of hustlers, tournaments, and late-night road trips, where ambition and uncertainty travel side by side. This lively profile of an unlikely phenom explores talent, identity, friendship, and the unpredictable costs of chasing a dream. With humor and affection, it captures the subculture of professional pool and the complicated journey of a young man determined to run the table.
