All the grifters that try to leach off a high school basketball star
He Got Game is a Spike Lee joint starring Denzel Washington and Ray Allen. It focuses upon the pressures that star high school athletes face. There’s the grifters who want to latch onto them and make money. There are the relatives that think they’re making it off of the athlete’s success. There’s the coaches that want to recruit them, etc. The movie is about Denzel as Allen’s father who is a convict. He’s let out of prison to try to convince his son to sign with the governor’s college alma mater. The fact that Allen blames his dad for the death of his mother doesn’t help things. This is a great story line about the cost of fame before kids are even really famous.<br /><br />The best part of the film is the interaction between Denzel and Allen. He was a dictator when his son was growing up keeping him out for all hours on the court drilling him over and over, pushing him to his limits to be a better ball player. Now Allen was the #1 high school basketball player in America. Denzel just shows up out of the blue talking to Allen. As can be expected, Allen is not only standoffish but resentful. It’s a real struggle for them to re-connect.<br /><br />Second, the basketball was really good. Allen’s team included three other star college players and just one actor. Those were Travis Best who was then with Georgia Tech, Walter McCarty who won a national championship with Kentucky, and John Wallace from Syracuse who went to an NCAA finals. All three would make the NBA. Denzel also played college basketball and could hold his own. There is a great game between father and son to end the movie.<br /><br />All the influences are then introduced. Allen has a girlfriend La La who wants to introduce him to her friend who is an agent even though that’s illegal. There’s Allen’s uncle who believes that his nephew will get some money from the college he goes to and wants a cut of it. Even his high school coach comes at him with money.<br /><br />The one problem with the film is when Allen goes on a college tour. They have white girls tempting him, and then he goes to a party and has sex with two women. Lee cast two porn stars for that part. Maybe he was looking for heightened reality, but I thought it was too much.<br /><br />Overall, this is a really good film on a topic rarely talked about publicly.<br />C
