[excelentgent4]

This is one of the best movie intro's ever from the best basketball movie ever,especially if you're a basketball head.For those that don't know that's Arthur Agee from hoop dreams at 1:36....Oh yeah R.I.P. WTC at 1:48.Also that's W 4th in NYC at 1:51 and Ed"Booger"Smith at 2:02 and 2:14,dribblin' across the BK bridge,that's the player that hill harper's character is named after he's also probally the best pg to never make the L,for more on him watch Sole in the Hole. He Got Game=besthoopfilmever

[nochapi]

I read somewhere William Gates was also in this film, I thought it was the guy dribbling @2:14, didn't know it was Hill Harper...can u verify if Gates is in here...I did rec Agee tho

[matthew2774]

the music in the title sequence really captures the rhythm of the whole movie, love it!

[andrew22wagner]

nice shooting form at 1:08

[FunkyMonk00]

One of my favorite movies of all time. The poetic style mixed with the urban spirit of the film is just beautiful.

[timoteosan]

"Hoosiers" was good, but this and "Hoop Dreams" are, hands down, the greatest basketball films. EVER.

[tny241324]

that sound gives me goosebumps.........4real

[poopoopeehead]

i love to see my boy! aa (Arthue Agee in a special part of the intro as well.

[aboogiewpcapt]

idk if its b/c im a true ball player or what but this introduction gives me the chills in a good way. how can you watch this and still hate basketball if you did

[HarryPness]

I love this scene. It captures so much different emotion...

[AhhCulo]

This is one of the best film openings ever... beautiful, even if ya don't like basketball. It's damn AMERICAN too!

[okhan001]
