He got game | Miasto Movie

About the film

He got game is one of the most interesting films that features basketball as its main theme. However, “He Got Game” is primarily about a father and son’s turbulent and complicated relationship. The former, played by Denzel Washington, is a convicted felon serving time for a murder he committed years earlier. The latter (in this role NBA star Jay Allen) is an up-and-coming basketball player who is being pursued by top college basketball programmes. As the film opens, the father-son relationship practically doesn’t exist. The son has no intention of having anything to do with his imprisoned father Jake. Jake’s situation changes when he receives a proposal from a state university. If he convinces his son to sign with that university and play basketball for them, he will get an early release. One of the film’s strongest points is its soundtrack, which includes Public Enemy’s unforgettable eponymous hit song.
