He Got Game (1998)
7/10
I like this movie but don't love it

Warning: Spoilers
Only Spike Lee would show a film at the very beginning montage of a bunch of white dudes making jump shots and movie extras not missing a single shot. Then direct a film (10 years later) with Kobe Bryant Kobe doing work and films every single one of Kobe's missed shots LOL. Only Spike Lee would make a movie showing drugs guns sex and violence with Mickey Mouse music going on in the background LOL. I liked this movie better than clockers and almost as 25th hour , but inside man is my favorite . The basketball scenes are spot on. Ray Allen is a legend . 3 rings , mvp , one of the best jump shooter in NBA history . The finals scene where Ray Allen plays against Denzel is a great scene . Again the music and montage cuts remind me too much of a wanna be Oliver stone feel to it , trying to be Scorsese . But hey Spike go Knicks I'm not hating on Spike Lee either I do like do the right thing and Jungle Fever those are epic films just I wouldn't put this film in that category.
