And looking back on it, the movie had a lot of corny ass lines, but I'm not sure... they may have simply been corny because of the way Ray delivered them. But that whole "... especially all these athletes and entertainers" shyt when he was talking about finding Jesus didn't even seem like authentic conversation at all. Ray truly was a terrible actor in this though, but the movie turned out so good you could really ignore it. I think I remember Spike saying he had some other ballers try out (Iverson, Marbury was who he really wanted) but they were so bad he couldn't put them in the film, so I can't even imagine how terrible their performances must have been. Hell, I could never tell if Ray was saying "agent" or "Asian" in the film.my 3rd favorite basketball movie ever, behind hoop dreams and he got game
speaking of he got game, I was watching it last night...its a rare ass movie for the simple fact that its main character was a fukkin awful actor. Ray Allen's performance is so bad that at times you gotta sit back and laugh at this dude
when he comes home and finds Denzel sitting at the dinner table with his sister
one of the worst acted scenes in the history of movies brehI was ROLLING laughing at this dude. especially the follow up scene where he's talking to his sister while she's in bed and randomly flips out on her.
but its a rare breed in that even despite how terrible Ray Allen was, its still a great movie. classic as fukk. I can't think of any other films that feature a performance as bad as Ray Ray's and is still that good. Denzel deserved an oscar for how he carried this movie tho. He tossed it on his back.
It's still my all-time favorite movie though. I always felt this was Denzel's greatest acting job, ever, over Malcolm X, over Training Day, over Mo Better Blues, over The Hurricane, over Glory, all of them. Like you said, he literally carried this movie. If this was anybody else this movie would literally drop two grades, but instead it's probably Spike Lee's most underrated work.

I was 7 and my father ordered it for me and my brother on PPV.
I cannot begin to tell you the carnage that this movie brought forth to our household. Buildings... Landscapes... ENTIRE CITIES... were crushed.
2 white jewish boys just shoutin all types of obscenities.
"GET THAT shyt OUTTA HERE!!!!"
"I'M TALKIN TO THE fukkIN AIR...."
"I'M IN A ZONE MAN I'M IN A fukkIN ZONE!!!"
We were fukkin entranced from the moment the movie started. That whole opening 20-30 minute sequence at the park might truly mark the point in my life where I lost my innocence. From that day forward I started throwin f bombs like they were goin outta style and I never looked back.
Plus it's the movie that really got me into basketball.
One of the most improtant movies in shaping my childhood.
