This man is an underrated genius. Spike Lee was speaking on things in this movie that are coming to light 20 years later(see FBI college scandal)

[@vinceniederman3235]

He Got Game is One of My Favorite Basketball Movies At #2 Love Spike Lee!

[@DMalltheway]

Good flick but Summer of Sam brings something different to me and it’s a shame because I think that’s Spikes most underrated work.

[@justinhunt4767]

Yes sir

[@RR-bd4jp]

Thank you Spike for making my all time favorite basketball movie! Very articulate and well-spoken and such a great film director.

[@JonTMarin1988]

Ive been watching all the Spike x Charlie Rose interviews since the 92 one uploaded. It's incredible stuff. Thank you!

[@JonathanNelsonOfficial]

masterful film

[@vinceniederman3235]

I Agree Spike Lee Did a Good Job Of Making He Got Game Since He's a NBA Fan Like Me Even Though He's a NY Knicks Fan While I'm a 76ers Fan!

[@thoroughlywithfoil]

One of my favorite Spike Lee films

[@tonowari]

Thank you so much for uploading all these spike lee interviews. i love him

[@bonezpiff]

Still can’t believe Jesus was really suppose to be played by Kobe but he said no

[@GL_FAB]

Yeah, he would've killed it. Ray Allen did a great job 👏

[@2545poc]

One of his best films of all time, Ray was such a good actor in this.

[@adamk1520]

I think there still some confusion on the underlying themes and symbolism’s of this movie, based on this interview. The critical juncture of Jesus’ journey was playing ball on the court with his dad, his dad drove him to throw the ball over the fence, dad got mad, came home and it leads to mom getting pushed. One of the last scenes of the movie, father Denzel throws the ball over the prison yard fence and it lands on the sons college court. What does this mean? Does the ball represent anger, resentment and ultimately forgiveness? This movie reminds me a lot of Field of Dreams. Both are movies about father son relationships and the means to fixing a fractured relationship. In Field of Dreams, the field represents forgiveness and second chance. It’s hard to unwrap movies like these. I’d be curious to hear others perspectives on this type of movie. What does the final scene mean when Denzel throws the ball over the prison fence and it lands on the college court.

[@bazzoman510]

Tarantino and spike going at it.

[@rapchattv6962]

Spike is the man I love spike mindset on movies is incredible

[@MicahDadsLegoTV]

I miss Charlie, a lot great show

[@piro___]

Great Interview! Thanks for sharing

[@KobeBean0824-f2o]

I mean mothers and fathers alike force their children to go to school , and push them extra hard to make it to college . So I mean this is happening and every aspect of life not just sports.

[@RTX_Remix]

Interviewer trying to assert his dominance with the pointing everytime he speaks.

[@ellisonjordan7915]

Can someone explained given the last scene with Jake throwing the ball over the wall and somehow the ball landing in Jesus hands?

[@beasaroze5596]

Ephesians 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

[@rsekaionline3860]

This is such a powerful interview

[@BenJehovah6969]

I think the biggest subconscious part of his writing comes from the most original story of a father pushing a son to sacrifice himself for the sake the father, and that character’s name was also Jesus. For what it’s worth...in that story...he’s also a person that shuttles to freedom.

[@martrelcoleman1546]

Charismatic interview

[@thenobleone-3384]

New Yorkers are something else everybody there have the same nature. I can only imagine growing up in Coney Island

[@thenobleone-3384]

I like Basketball and Boxing movies.

[@richardmccormick859]

One of the all time great black directors. Cheap though in paying his actors regardless of his budget 😂😂

[@pman8478]

I think spike has gotten way too much vitriol for entirely reasonable opinions on Quentin using the n-word. That being said I absolutely love Jackie Brown and wouldn't change a thing about it.

[@ksanders249]

Spike Lee 1998

[@DarellDavie1]

Legendary Man

[@tonybandanna4895]

I enjoyed this

[@HG-pi3qp]

Ray Allen THE KING

[@geekaleek]

i guess tiger didnt turn out 'ok' after all

[@bettercallmarseth6150]

This interviewer is lousy . Always tryna argue instead of inspire. This movie is a classic and this movie maker spike Lee is one of the greatest directors of all time …

[@thenobleone-3384]

Jungle Fever was a strange movie I saw it and I guess that's how it was with race relations back at that time

[@VickStarkiller]

That movie is more about the crack epidemic than race relations. The race aspect also ain’t a commentary on how the world would react I think. I think it’s just one story that is made up of how one person’s life would fall apart if they cheated on their wife. Adding the race aspect only makes it more complicated.

[@codeclothing4707]

Smart

[@jefferywilliams6984]

They did not beat Indiana

[@CMOUnlimitedP]

I'm not a fan of Charlie Rose.

[@PhillyCYOSports]

Terribly racist guy. He Got Game was his best film however.

[@65g4]

Spike Lee is not a racist at all

[@DMalltheway]

@Sir TroLLington Da 3rd I even think Summer of Sam is better but He Got Game is a terrific film.
