This Movie Doesn't Have A Typical Plot

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2005)

Samuel L. Jackson should win an Oscar for this movie just like Jamie Foxx should win an Oscar for the movie "Ray." This movie starts out with the same plot that all other basketball movies have. Ghetto basketball players fighting and trying to win games. But there's a twist to this one. Coach Carter locked the gym after the players couldn't keep their grades up. If all basketball coaches behaved like this and put education first, there would be no Kobe Bryant or LeBron James. It was strange seeing Ashanti play the role of some one from the ghetto. This proves that she can act. In all other sports movies, the team that the movie is based on wins the championship. But in this movie, the Richmond Oilers LOSE the championship at the buzzer. All NBA coaches and players who have never been to college should watch this movie.
