Very good movie. Came out in the early 90's and is a documentary on this high school basketball star with all the ups and downs he faces along the way. Weather it's dealing with problems in the home, or having a season ending knee injury. It shows how he deals with everything and how he makes it out in the end. I was into it, just wanted to see if anyone else has seen it.

saw it in the theatres when it came out.really interesting look at basketball life at the HS level.kinda disturbing how highly people place such value and importance in basketball at that level, when you think of the age of the players. Kinda like people's fasination with sports is outta control.interesting note, Arthur Agee (think that was his name) ended up playing in that slamball league that was on Spike TV with the trampoline floor.
