Because "Goiko" is the reigning champ of the all-but-forgotten sport of jai alai. In another time and place, he might be as famous as Kelly Slater or Michael Jordan. Instead, he's happy to keep the sport of his ancestral homeland alive in Southern Florida. In this episode of Bullit the Documentary, we journey to the beaches of Miami to spend a few days in the life of this superstar athlete. Goiko grew up in Zumaia, a small fishing town about 20 miles west of San Sebastián in Spain's Basque country. Since going pro, he's won nine world titles-five in singles, four in doubles-at the tournaments hosted by the International Federation of Basque Pelota. These days, Goiko plays professionally in his adopted hometown of Miami, where the once booming casino industry kept Jai Alai at the forefront of Floridian culture. Today the popularity of this majestic sport is waning - and this champion is preparing for the future and to be able to provide for his newborn son - while playing some of the best Jai Alai the area's diehard fans have ever seen.
