<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The movie "Crossover", opening Friday across the nation, honors Vince Carter's decision to graduate from North Carolina during the 2000 playoffs, says the film's star, Anthony Mackie. ?What Vince Carter did was monumental...I just want this movie to highlight that," says Mackie. "I felt that there should have been a huge confetti parade for him for doing that."</div>

Nevertheless, movie looks horrible.

Yeah, the dumbest thing in the trailer though is when one of the guys hangs on the rim while another one subsequently dunks it. That's supposed to be kool?

Regardless of what this movie says...TO THIS DAY, I still cannot believe that Vince Carter was critisized for attending his graduation. Funny thing is that he wasn't even late for the game...in fact, not only did he make it ahead of time, he also brought the Raptors within one shot of the East finals.

Ironically, a lot of journalists knock NBA players and atheletes in general for not being intelligent, for saying ridiculous things and not bein g good role models...but when a superstar basketball player puts education first, he gets knocked for it?

If he missed the game, that's reasonable for someone to complain about. However, he TOOK THE *ALMOST* GAME WINNING SHOT...I still don't understand why people complain about that. Bunch of hypocrites.

The movie had a great storyline. It was based on reality, but the acting was horrible it was hard to get into it
