This was my favorite movie as a teenager, this movie actually got me out the streets and had me focus on basketball/college . I got a full ride scholarship to Florida Gators but got hurt and lost it. Now I’m an HVAC technician making really good money. Long story short, I could have ended up in prison or dead if I stayed in the streets and the life I was living.
