Blue Chips scores as "the best sports movie in years!" (Jeffrey Lyons, Sneak Previews). Championship-winning coach Pete Bell (Nick Nolte) runs the cleanest program in collegiate basketball. But when he finds himself on the brink of his first losing season, Bell decides he must make a risky trade to protect his job: under-the-table dollars for talent. Betraying his conscience and the trust of his ex-wife (Mary McDonnell), bell signs the nation's "blue chips": a farmboy forward (Matt Nover), a playmaking guard from the projects (Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway), and Neon Bodeaux (1993 NBA rookie of the year Shaquille O'Neal), a 7-foot slam-dunking phenom from the bayou. Now Bell has the best team money can buy... but is he prepared to pay the price?

Blue Chips, 1994, ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2. A basketball movie with Nick Nolte and Shaquille O’Neal is definitely not something I would have sought. But when you study films by director, you are forced to broaden your horizons. Sometimes by a tremendous lot! William Friedkin’s humanistic, cynical, and corrupt story about a high pressured coach, who travels, meets with, and recruits talent to his failing college team.

imagine that, colleges breaking rules for money.

Best basketball movie ever. Enjoyable even for non fans
