I watched this movie again for the first time in forever. Still a very powerful film. I suggest anyone who hasn't seen it check it out.

Yeah it's a great flick. Really makes you realise for every LeBron or Kobe there are probably thousands of William Gates or Arthur Agee's.

Love the quote:

People always say to me, "when you get to the NBA, don't forget about me." Well, I should've said back, "if I don't make it to the NBA, don't you forget about me."

One of my favorite lines out of all sports flicks.

Loved the movie. Was actually one of the few books I read growing up, a few times actually.

What are the rest of the classic hoop movies? I never heard of the basketball diaries. I'd be down for getting a few to watch. Hoop Dreams was great stuff.

I was not a huge fan of Basketball Diaries, probably in large part to Leo being cast as Jim Carrol.

Other good hoops flicks are....

- Heaven is a Playground
- Hoosiers
- White Men Can't Jump
- Blue Chips
- Air Up There
- Above The Rim
- Rebound
- Sunset Park
- Soul in the Hole
- He Got Game
- Love & Basketball
- Glory Road
