Classic Movie: Hoop Dreams, 1994
This documentary follows two inner-city Chicago residents, Arthur Agee and William Gates, as they follow their dreams of becoming basketball superstars. Beginning at the start of their high school years, and ending almost 5 years later, as they start college, we watch the boys mature into men, still retaining their "Hoop Dreams". Both are recruited into the same elite high school as their idol, former Detroit Piston superstar Isaiah Thomas. Only one survives the first year; the other must return to a high school closer to his home. Along the way, there is much tragedy, some joy, a great wealth of information about inner city life, and the suspense of not knowing what will occur next. This is not a "by-the-numbers" film. More info on wiki.
Hey guys! If it's the 1st time you're on this site you'll realize that most links won't work. The reason for that is that I used to upload on Megaupload or directly on my server (bballvideos.com) but those sites are now closed. Sorry I can't reup anything here. Also you might wanna try my 2 other sites with more recent posts: toums-bball (2010-2012 seasons) and bballvideosplayoffs (2012 playoffs)
