Doctor X there must have been some statiscal correction or something. Cause if you actually go to Capital One arena, Under Earl Monroe’s plaque it’s does show 41.6.
I remember going to the theatre to see this with my Dad when it first came out and his eyes lit up when this scene came on. He explained that the Pearl was his generation's version of Allen Iverson.
I love this scene. Brings a tear to my eye, the passion and love for the game Jake has. The strings, the clips, Coney Island. You can see Jesus beginning to soften towards his father, the shared bond they have for basketball. And the way Jake hugs him after (after this clip ends) 😢
sekai daniels for real like Jesus has a son and try's to convince him that education is more important and then jake possibly is out of prison and reconciles with Jesus
He was right about the knicks putting the shackles on him!! He had to tone his game down to fit in to the knicks system and it ended up working for all of them- got that second title in73.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES!!! RAY ALLEN GOT THE NYC BACK IN THE DAY OUTFIT ON,,,,DENIM OVERALLS W/SUSPENDERS,,,CRISPY WHITE WIFE BEATER WITH A PAIR OF TIMBS IN THE SUMMERTIME!!!!! MISS YOU SO MUCH 90'S!!!!!!!🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
This is such a good movie man! Really! Hits home for all fathers and sons who have some conflict between them. Hake it hits home for any family that has conflict within it.
Spike loves having characters named Jesus in his films. There was a Latino character in Clockers with the same name.. "My mother call me Jesus, my father call me Jesus, YOU call me Jesus."
My favorite scene of the movie it’s like you. Gotta love both sides of the movie I understand how Jesus feels. Just like I see Jake’s point dope movie.
I hear ya. We had a team for 40 years and they stole it from us. Haywood, Wilkens, Rule, Snyder, Cross, Brown, Watts, Williams, Simms, Dennis, JJ, Kemp, The Glove, Ray Allen, greats. Our Heroes.
I love my Dad, He went thru some hard times. The man has been to War in Vietnam and back. My Mom had 3 sons, When the teenage years arrived, Let the battle begin! Except I never really got into fights with my Dad very often.
@jaygreg50 I've watched this movie so many times. Right after this is where he tells Ray, why he's REALLY there, to get him to play for Big state university. Not to mention that he murdered his mother. This movie has so much texture and detail, you need to watch it several times to get the beauty of it. I absolutely love this movie.
We should all remember that SPIKE LEE directed this movie, the biggest Knicks fanatic. It's impressive how he openly admits in his movie that the Knicks shackled the Pearl's game up.
yeah but the nba back then was the "corporate" league- no afro's, no one on one game, no shake and bake.... the aba was where it was at- street ball, imma get mine attitude, afro's, wild styles... the knicks locked him up, but i promise the NBA did too....

Denzel captures what it's like to be fanatic about sports in one scene.
my sentiments exactly.
LamarMatic WHAT'S UP LAMAR! HOLD IT DOWN!
Sounds like me describing Jordan to my kids today. And my Dad telling me about David Thompson
LamarMatic respect from China man keep doing what you doing man
More than a game, its a feeling.
"41.6" I love that. You know he's fan, only a real fan is precise.
Just looked up the average on basketball reference and it was actually 41.5.
Damn 42 points per game???
Doctor X there must have been some statiscal correction or something. Cause if you actually go to Capital One arena, Under Earl Monroe’s plaque it’s does show 41.6.
This Is going to be me when I'm describing kobe to my kids
A great scene. Spike pays homage to Earl and Denzel knocks it out the park. That's just how we act in describing Earl the Pearl.
Jesus from North Philadephia! Jesus from the playground! Love that line
He was actually from South Philly.
Me too!,
I remember going to the theatre to see this with my Dad when it first came out and his eyes lit up when this scene came on. He explained that the Pearl was his generation's version of Allen Iverson.
Like I tell my kids, before MJ there was Dr J. Before Dr J, there was The Pearl.
Such a Beautiful Scene
I love this scene. Brings a tear to my eye, the passion and love for the game Jake has. The strings, the clips, Coney Island. You can see Jesus beginning to soften towards his father, the shared bond they have for basketball. And the way Jake hugs him after (after this clip ends) 😢
jumpnam I feel you on this I couldn’t have said better myself.
I feel the same
90's, so good, the styles, everything
Spike could get away with another he got game sequel he also got game.
sekai daniels for real like Jesus has a son and try's to convince him that education is more important and then jake possibly is out of prison and reconciles with Jesus
The music of Copland makes this scene better, no doubt.
Oh yeah, I wish this clip included the preceding few seconds where the music comes in strong. One of the best scenes in cinema history, for me.

"I named after Jesus of North Philadelphia cuz he was the truth" #PhillyStandUp #215
But he was from South Philly?
Oh god, this scene is so great. Moves me to tears.
What a beautiful tribute to The Pearl…
this movie is so good, it's sick. denzel is hell of an actor, and spike lee is hell of a director
Wow, Denzel is beyond fantastic in this movie. Magnificent piece of filmmaking, kudos to Lee
Love that Spike just gave a shoutout to one of his boyhood idols as part of the plot in one of his most slept on films.
Jake! I need that money jake!
Dead ass read it in his voice "AYE JAKE!!!"
You wanna go to jail or u wanna go home?
ljvjr2011 you ever been to the booty house?
@@nuknuknuk111 big boys grab your ankles..
Lol legit watching that movie right fucken now
This movie is so underrated.
Respect to all the LEGENDS of the court.
Perfect scene! This was indeed a movie made from the heart and spirit!
Very poetic father and son bond. Beautifully delivered.
Mr.Washington set the bar high in his career.
earl the pearl, the greatest Washington/Baltimore player ever.
Yes!! My favorite player ever too
I can watch this scene a million times and still hits me the same way it did, the 1st time i viewed it.
This my fav movie ever
One of the best monologues ever.
Great scene right here. Terrence Blanchard is a genius with the score. Cinematography on point too.
man my dad just gave me a hat that was signed by earl the pearl Monroe! he got it signed when i was like 2... when he was on the knicks!
love this scene with that old footage, awesome
Spike loves having characters named Jesus in his films. There was a Latino character in Clockers with the same name..
"My mother call me Jesus, my father call me Jesus, YOU call me Jesus."
Rahsaan Brown Right. Such an underrated film btw
Earl the pearl his arsenal was awesome
My favorite scene of the movie it’s like you. Gotta love both sides of the movie I understand how Jesus feels. Just like I see Jake’s point dope movie.
great movie
Average 41.6 the whole season.....the WHOLE season
There will never be another Ray Allen 2 dow
what a great scene and even a greater MOVIE
Thanks! great music!
I miss the days when Ray played for Seattle. Now we dont even have a team anymore...
I hear ya. We had a team for 40 years and they stole it from us. Haywood, Wilkens, Rule, Snyder, Cross, Brown, Watts, Williams, Simms, Dennis, JJ, Kemp, The Glove, Ray Allen, greats. Our Heroes.
@@swalterstennis I think you forgot David Thompson, Jack Sikma, Detlef Shrempf, and Vin Baker.
I agree.
Man they did this movie around coney island brooklyn
01:15 The way does that spin move and then kisses the finger roll of his fingers. Even ray had to smile
The pearl was so smooth .
fave scene
actually watching this right now lmao
This was a pretty good basketball movie
This moment is so beautiful Jake finally coming around with his son
great great movie.... so real
1:19
"Black Jesus" of the Baltimore Bullets spins by Cazzie Russell of the Knicks
For an easy basket
I love my Dad, He went thru some hard times. The man has been to War in Vietnam and back. My Mom had 3 sons, When the teenage years arrived, Let the battle begin! Except I never really got into fights with my Dad very often.
Jesus heart opened up to his father in this scene
I was at the Wizard's game lastnight, where they honored and retired Mr. Monroe's Bullets Jersey! Go #10!!
I was just on a flight with earl the pearl.
Earl the pearl Monroe was the truth.He brought finesse to the game of basketball.Denzel Washington does a great job with his father to son moment.
There will never be another Denzel Washington.
Quanta poesia
My favorite part of the movie. The real meaning behind Jesus
If it wasnt for you there wouldnt be a ring 💍 in DC ... and unfortunately B more 😮💨😮💨 .. Thanks Pearl !Rest easy 🙏🏾

The music is from 'Appalachian Spring' by Copeland. Other music from the movies is from his works Billy the Kid and the Opera The Tender Land
Thanks!
I agree with that, I never said he was anything less.
so true about earl the pearl and the nba "lockin up" players games....
spike lee is one of my favorite directors.
Monroe averaged 41.5 in his senior year at Winston-Salem state, I think they got that wrong on purpose to make the conversation more realistic.
I just literally just saw on TV about 2 hrs ago no lie.
Nigga just lied
@loachendormi he truly can play any part
Jesus from north Philadelphia born and raised on the playground is where is spend most of my days..
best basketball movie ever
jesus n jake shuttlesworth
@zedeckomnipotent
I agree. All these championship winners are pre-selected now.
Denzel played ball on mount vernon courts gifted ballplayer with many moves
Earl Cameron
Earl the Pearl was from South Philly
wow never noticed that till now haha
I love the music in this scene, anybody knows where to get it, or the name of it?
👂👊👊
people may not know but denzel use to ball back in his day think he may have played at university that maybe why he seems so in tune with the game
1:19 -Taoh!
denzel looks good in this movie :P
Earl Monroe was actually from SW PHILLY
We should all remember that SPIKE LEE directed this movie, the biggest Knicks fanatic. It's impressive how he openly admits in his movie that the Knicks shackled the Pearl's game up.
It’s generally agreed upon that the Knicks shackled Monroe.
@JesusInNike23 True. Michael is a very common name. Jordan is a cool sounding name. Either way, I see it as a win-win.
I never knew the Detectives was following till today
Nigga they always follow him
@@TannerGoated lmaoooooo why? Like this movie came out 4 months ago you could have saved that comment dweeb lol
@@footz718 you watched a 15 year old video and commented I just replied lol stop crying old head
Denzel had the ill fro' for a man in his 40's.
That's Arthur Agee from Hoop Dreams at 0:58 I think
you aint got to put down other actors to appreciate D Washington. real recognize real. we know he an all time great.
The Knicks shackled The Pearl?!....They also got him his only ring......ask him if he's good with it.
This isnt acting for Denzel. This is his true self, he acts in all his other movies.
@SexPanther235 just had to think back about 10 years to how he used to think before Calhoun wooed him to UCONN
it always seemed to me that ray allen was darker when he was younger
Great acting by Ray, but I'm glad he decided to stick with basketball.
I call him JESUS.
couldnt have got a better person to play tha role of Jesus, it woas origanlly supposed to be AI, im a fan, but Ray played tha role to perfection.
With what attitude? he`s one of the best actors ever...
RIP Denzel =/
holy shit is that ray ray
1:15. Jim Brown creeping in the background...
And nowadays people are trying to call Jordan the same name.
The Titanic was accomplished to sit besides The Shinning cousin Cliffjumper created. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy......
yeah but the nba back then was the "corporate" league- no afro's, no one on one game, no shake and bake.... the aba was where it was at- street ball, imma get mine attitude, afro's, wild styles... the knicks locked him up, but i promise the NBA did too....
@6ft2220beast the nba didn't lock up his game. The Knicks did. Earl the Pearl will always be JESUS in Washington.
That moment when realize your username is WhiteChocolate...
