Hoop Dreams is my favorite movie! I first saw this movie when it came on tv in the late 1990s. I then purchased the DVD to watch the special features. I never get tired of watching it. Hoop Dreams should have been nominated and awarded an Academy Award!
@sMac3322 spike lee was essentially going on how you should remember that you can be seen as just a commodity to teams and the only reason you are there is because "you can make their team win" or something like that which was not what was portrayed in the trailer.
I just got finished watching Hoop Dreams, and agree with Siskel 100% percent. The Academy are fucking retards for not nominating this film. It's a masterpiece.
Man I'm searchin another basketball movie I saw years ago but can't remember the name. Also looked for it on google without success.
It was about some guys struggling, but a man comes and coaches them, then they start to progress, one of the guys was named Casey if I'm not mistaking, he was like a lil retarded, their coach then manages to make them start to really play well. The name of their team was Shooting stars. Could somebody find it please ? This movie was from the 90's. Thanks.
@binayatripathi Thanks but I know that movie (coach carter) this isn't the one i'm looking for, the one i'm talkin about is far too old, from the 90's i think, coach carter was released in 2004.
Everyday events in life that some take for granted are turned into moments of triumph and tradgedy in this fasicnating film. Two thumbs up for "Hoop Dreams".
@Blackjesus3 both didnt make it to the nba. william though was given a chance in 2001 when he tried out for the wizards. it was said he did pretty well but near the end of the tryout he sprained his ankle and he gave up on basketball after that. He is married and has 3 kids I think. Arthur started a small business selling clothes and shoes under the name ' hoop dreams' He has 5 kids with as many different woman and it was said that one time he was sent to rehabilation because he was on drugs.
@psx2514 wat i told u was not from the film, it was wat happened after dat and if ur saying dat i ruined for u because i told u they didnt make it to the nba, its pretty obvious cause i never heard of an arthur agee or a william gates in the league
In all seriousness... Is this movie good? Worth buying? I want to hear from someone who actually saw this. Please give me like a rating or a grading scale like was it a A, B, C, D, or F? You can throw in the +'s or -'s in there if needed.... thank you...
Its amazing how humble and determined the players are to get to the NBA and when they get there they turn into total jackasses that think there above the game
The passion at the college ranks is real, at the nba level its about the pay cheque for alot of guys
I was told the Academy Awards admitted to only watching 15 minutes of this film then turned it off.........

If your into sports, not only basketball, just if your into sports, watch this movie.

Both these players were amazing, and you sure as hell thought they were going pro, but nope.
Because they didn't have the grades and Gates blew out his knee.
