He Got Game

“The father, the son and the holy game.”

Coney Island, where Jesus Shuttlesworth (Ray Allen) is the top-ranked high school basketball prospect in the country and every college in America wants his name. His father, Jake (Denzel Washington), is in prison for killing Jesus's mother, and the governor will release him for one week on a deal. Spike Lee sends Jake home to talk his son into signing with the governor's alma mater, a boy who has no reason to open the door.
