He Got Game (1998) Double-Sided, Original Rolled Poster 27x40

He Got Game is a 1998 sports drama film written and directed by Spike Lee, starring Denzel Washington as Jake Shuttlesworth, a convicted felon temporarily released from prison to persuade his estranged son, Jesus, the nation’s top high school basketball prospect, to play for the governor’s alma mater. Ray Allen, a real-life NBA player, portrays Jesus, who struggles with the pressures of fame, recruiting offers, and a complicated relationship with his father, whom he blames for his mother's death. The film explores themes of redemption, family, and the exploitation of young athletes, set against the backdrop of a gritty urban environment. With a powerful performance by Washington and a striking score by Public Enemy, He Got Game is a thought-provoking look at the intersection of sports, ambition, and personal responsibility.
