New SEC Storied Documentary “The Rebel” to Premiere on SEC Network Tonight

Published

on

The next installment in ESPN Films’ SEC Storied series, “The Rebel,” will premiere on Tuesday, May 30, at 9 p.m. ET on SEC Network. The film looks at former Ole Miss basketball sensation Johnny Neumann and the decisions he made that shaped his life and career forever.

Johnny Neumann took the Ole Miss nickname seriously. A 6’6″ prodigy from Memphis often compared to LSU superstar Pete Maravich, Neumann led the nation in scoring in 1971 as a sophomore in his only seaon in Oxford.
In the SEC Storied film “The Rebel,” director Paul Carruthers looks back on those days when Neumann electrified the Memphis basketball scene playing for Overton High before moving on to the University of Mississippi. The film also reveals a now older and wiser man who returned to Oxford in 2013 to begin working on the college degree he once spurned. In the years in between, Neumann bounced from team to team and country to country.
The film includes exclusive interviews from Paul Finebaum, Woody Paige, and Hubie Brown. Advance digital screeners are available upon request.
