Why was Ray Allen given the "He Got Game" role?

This shyt killed Love & Basketball for me. Quincy supposed to be a high school phenom and this nikka Omar Epps could only dribble with one hand while looking down at the ball.

Omar Epps always got cast as an athlete even though he didn’t appear all that athletic.

In The Program, he’s a star halfback. In Higher Learning, he’s a track runner. In Love and Basketball, he’s supposed to be an NBA player.

In Against the Ropes, he’s supposed to be a hybrid of James Toney and Tommy Hearns

The 1st option was Allen Iverson. Spike Lee even said it himself.

So was it AI or Kobe?

I wrote a script to try to bring that movie back in 2007. It was called "That nikka Can Ball" starring either Daquan Cook or Luther Head
