Saw the movie. very predictable. very similiar to Remember the Titans (the songs were actually the same)

As soon as I saw the preview, I called it basketball's version of Remember the Titans but I don't mind. I will check it out by and by. :cool:

'Sweet Home Alabama' star Josh Lucas leads a cast that includes Derek Luke, Al Shearer, Mehcad Brooks and Academy Award winner Jon Voight.

The DVD package includes the Alicia Keys music video 'Sweet Music;' never-before-seen deleted scenes; featurettes with commentary by Haskins, extended interviews with former players; audio commentaries with movie super-producer Jerry Bruckheimer and the film’s creators, including director James Gartner. NBA all-star Tim Duncan appears in a spot called 'Surviving Practice.'
