Ray Allen Mulling 'He Got Game' Sequel
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Jesus Shuttlesworth returns to the court this week. Jesus Shuttlesworth may return to the big screen in the future.
Miami Heat guard Ray Allen, who played the Shuttlesworth role in the 1998 movie "He Got Game," says he and filmmaker Spike Lee have spent time over the last couple months discussing a sequel and are currently throwing ideas back and forth about the project.
"Sequels to most movies are always fluff and not as good as the first," Allen said Tuesday night before the Heat played the New Orleans Pelicans. "But it's something we've been talking about for the last couple months. If we get a really good story line and are able to bring everybody back, then it would be something worth doing."
Lee posted a photo of himself and Allen to a social media account last summer, saying then that they were engaging in sequel talk. It wasn't clear then how serious those conversations were.
Allen — who still gets called "Jesus" by teammates — said he's committed to making it happen.
"Hopefully it works out," said Allen, whose character in the film was a highly recruited high school basketball star.
Denzel Washington played his father, a prisoner who was paroled for one week to persuade his son to sign with the governor's alma mater, and Rosario Dawson played his girlfriend in the film.
Allen played a vital role in Miami's march to a second straight championship last season, most notably making a 3-pointer that tied Game 6 of the NBA Finals with 5.2 seconds left in regulation and with the Heat on the cusp of losing the title series to San Antonio. The film seems to have enjoyed an uptick in popularity since, and wearing "J. Shuttlesworth" on his jersey for a number of upcoming Heat games figures to only add to that.
And it's probably not coincidental that Allen said he and Lee started their sequel discussions shortly after that Heat title run.
"Not one day goes by where I walk in here and guys don't say that they didn't watch it last night or it wasn't on," Allen said. "I don't know who's in charge of delegating what gets on TV, but it seems like that movie's been on a lot the last two or three months."
The first time Allen will wear his character's name on his NBA jersey is Friday, when the Heat visit the Brooklyn Nets. All players in that game will be donning what are called "Name Collection" jerseys, with LeBron James sporting "King James," Paul Pierce wearing "Truth" and Shane Battier going by "Battle," his family's original surname.
"We've got to get Denzel and we've got to get Rosario," Allen said. "Obviously, it's been 15 or 20 years, so there's so many new story lines to talk about."

They tried to but he wanted $50 M's for 4 years lol

They tried, he declined, and then proceeded to play like dog shyt for most of the season.
A bit too much but maybe should have bit. They need a big guard who can facilitate with a tiny guard like Burke out there. Hayward is 6'8'' can play point forward, defend, shoot and would stay loyal to a Cac city like Utah. Him + Burke + Parker + Kanter/Favors is better than having both of those bigmen.

Only Favors signed an extension. Kanter's still on his rookie deal
Yeah, I'm guessing they didn't sign Hayward because they want to resign Kanter?
