You talking about Arthur's Mom? She was a real one, When she broke down after becoming a nurse.
Shout out to our strong Black single mothers out there.

Word, and when Arthur was doing his thing playing for the state championship she was so proud. Like I said, she was a real one.

Every time I see ''Hoop Dreams,'' I end up thinking of Arthur's mother Sheila as the film's heroine. During the course of the film her husband leaves and gets into trouble, she suffers chronic back pain, she loses a job and goes on welfare, Arthur is dropped by St. Joseph's--and then, in the film's most astonishing revelation, we discover she has graduated as a nurse's assistant, with the top grades in her class.

Hoop Dreams Movie Review & Film Summary (1994) | Roger Ebert

On every rewatch William's first injury is still the most depressing to me, then he is starting to look good at the Nike? camp and down again (i think we get to see jalen rose and juwuan howard).......His coach seemed like a heartless dikk at times and the school not releasing arthurs credits unless money was handed over was.......curtis gates (RIP) going out to the courts and joining the dunk line and him looking had meat the same time
