Your favorite parts of the movie & does it still hold up? I think most of us saw Rosario Dawson for the first time, and that was a plus, in my opinion. :lawd:

Ray didn't put on an outstanding acting role until he was with two naked white chicks. :sas2: Denzel was Denzel. The cousin was the timid ass nikka who was funny as shyt :russ:Spike did a great job of creating what it's like to be a high school athlete being highly recruited. Blue Chips had been done, also:shaq:

This and Above the Rim are my favorite basketball movies of all time. This is clearly the better film, but the nostalgia runs deep with ATR for me.

One of Spike's better films in the last 20 years. Still holds up as a depiction about the stresses of an all-american sports talent coming up in a hyper accelerated 24 hour sports culture that was just beginning to take off in that era. With that said, its still profoundly relevant subject matter, especially with all of the FBI/NCAA stuff in the news.
