Hooping Everyone makes mistakes but it was up to Jesus Shuttlesworth (played by NBA all star Ray Allen) to decide to forgive or continue to hold a grudge against his father Jake Shuttlesworth ( played by Denzel Washington) after accidently killing his wife when Jesus was just a boy. Being a basketball fan I liked watching this movie.

I loved this movie it shows no madder the mistakes familys have in life u don't hold a grudge the dad pushed him to be the person he is today I love it

Found the ending confusing. Is the cop going to kill Denzel, because the governor wanted to be sure the trade would never be found out? The son went to the school the governor chose, so why? I find this hugely annoying, and one that makes the story overly contrived. The over one week plot point is really cheesy. Still bothers me. Makes it amateurishly plotted! I guess they kill him, so no one can get to the governor. The son can talk.
