He Got Game is one of my favorite movies of all time. I pretty much like all Spike Lee joints and this one was no different. The main characters of the movie were Denzel Washington and Ray Allen. Jesus Shuttlesworth (Ray Allen) was pushed to be a basketball player by his father Jake Shuttlesworth (Denzel Washington) ever since he was born. After Jake murdered his wife and went to prison Jesus hated him. When Jesus becomes a great high school basketball player about to go to college, Jake is let out of jail and is told that he has a week to convince his son to sign the letter of intent to play at the school of the governor's choice. If he completes the job he will be let out of prison early. This is one of my favorites because basketball is my favorite sport and it shows what it is like to be one of the top high school prospects in the country. It is a very interesting story to see what Jesus will decide to do, if he will listen to his father or do something else.
