i love basketball and this seem like an intriguing movie . however and in the first ten minute of the movie i know that it be go to be lousy . it be poorly act and much too slow . on top of that it be very and very racist and sexist and antisemitic and homophobic . sometimes put in racial and ethnic and other type of slur have a point and illustrate the bigotry that exist . in this movie there be no point to the horrible bigotry and no one learn from what be be say . part of the problem be that it be an adaption of a play and a remake of a 1982 movie that deal with a basketball team from the 1950 . have this movie take place earlier in time would have make a little bit more sense . it do not translate well to modern time and the writing be horrible . i do not know how the play be originally write but i can not believe that any movie a bad and as hateful a this one have make it to television and video in 1999. it be disgust . don not waste your precious time on this one .
