Synopsis
He Got Game (1998) is Spike Lee's drama you can watch online on iFILM. Denzel Washington plays Jake Shuttlesworth, locked up for killing his wife. The warden offers a deal: shave years off his sentence if he can steer his son toward a particular university.
Jesus Shuttlesworth is the top high-school basketball prospect in the country, and everyone wants a piece of his signature, including coaches, agents, hustlers, his girlfriend and his own uncle. The father he despises gets a week of parole, an ankle monitor and a room in a grim hotel. A few days are all they have to rebuild what is left between them, or break it for good. Real NBA guard Ray Allen plays Jesus in his first screen role.
Lee turns a sports story into a reckoning about money, guilt and betrayal, scored to the unlikely pairing of Aaron Copland and Public Enemy. Court legends drift through the frame, from Shaquille O'Neal to Michael Jordan and Reggie Miller, while Milla Jovovich and Rosario Dawson share scenes with Washington.
