Synopsis
A young aspiring professional basketball player must make some tough decisions in this sports melodrama. Kyle Lee is a talented basketball player in high school. While he waits to find out if he will receive a scholarship to Georgetown he finds himself in a difficult dilemma over a playground basketball tournament. He must decide whether to follow his good-hearted coach or Birdie, the local gangster. Kyle is also feeling resentment for the security guard his mother is falling for. The coach also wants the guard to play, but due to the tragic death of a friend, the guard cannot bear the thought of playing again. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Classic for a bargain

A classic
July 7, 2017been trying to catch up on Tupac's acting roles and had never seen this one. I still haven't watched it all (had a dvd that stopped with 10 minutes left, so I needed a new one). With free shipping this was a great deal and it got here in 3 days. Tupac kills it in this, I've read a few places it is considered his best acting ever, and I tend to agree. The other people are also strong in it.

Classic!
June 20, 2017If you love old 90s movies with action/drama, this is it. It's your typical urban tale of a teenager trying to make it out of the hood by any positive means. As always, someone or something will try to get in the way of stopping him of fulfilling his dreams.

Looks like we're having trouble displaying reviews for this feature
This is a great movie, great plot, great cast, and a great director. If you like basketball movies with that gangster attitude, than this is a movie to see. Tupac was great playing a gangster, but was that really a stretch for him. Duane Martin got a chance to relive his dream of playing basketball in front the world, well those saw this movie. Marlon Wayans is even good, but surprise, Bernie Mac steals the show as a homeless man.
