HBO made some really good sports movies over the years. Rebound, Long Gone, Dead Solid Perfect, Don King: Only in America, 61*, Soul of the Game, Tyson, and I'm sure I missed a couple.
Used to watch this movie all the time and never realized I was watching Garnett and been a fan of his since Farragut Academy. Wooww!!! Was always only ever paging attention to Don Cheadle n all the great black actors
@@thescatman5029 As someone who had studied film I can assure you, you can fake right about anything on the screen. If they could make Don Cheadle double dunk, they probably could have found someone who is a 6"6 Wilt lookalike, give him stills, and just fake it. KG doesn't look anything like him.

My mom was a kid during Earls reign, it’s basically how we looked at the and 1 basketball players. They were famous before you saw them, you heard about them.
Earl is one of the best urban basketball legend to ever grave a blacktop! However Earl downfall was that he wasnt patience in the collegiate level by playing within the system and getting hook on drug by his mentor (rucker) dying of an heartache.. we will never know or see what Earl true potential will be because of his choices in life.. However, howfully the young or youthful basket players will understand that talent and hardwork isn't the only that can stop you from going pro! #RIPEarlGoatmanigault
That's the problem with American sports. They make you go through the college level so professional teams don't have the responsibility of developing your talent. It's only in America you allow this bs for universities to make millions of the back of these poor kids.
Teams in the Rucker didn't wear snappy matching screen printed uniforms in the 1960s. If you were lucky teams might wear "similar color" shirts but more often it was shirts vs skins. One thing that is realistic: almost everybody wearing Converse Chuck Taylors. Adidas didn't hit the schoolyards until about 1970.
Earl The Goat admitted he never touched the top of the backboard but movie producers put it in the movie Rebound anyway because adding the urban myths about him made the movie more intriguing. This was also confirmed by the movie producers years after it was released.
Another thing . . . I'm just short of certain that sportswriters dubbed Chamberlain "the Stilt," which he resented, while players, Ruckers' fans, and others in the know called him "the Big Dipper." The movie has this backwards. Jeez, seven hours since I came across this clip it's still irritating me. God forbid I ever watch the movie.
Horrible misrepresentation of Wilt. 1st of all he was gentle, unless challenged; then he would show you whose boss by blocking all your shots & scoring on you at will. He did not like "Stilt"; those that knew him called him Dip, Dippy, or Dipper. Whether Goat once dunked on him or blocked his shot I don't know, but "[Wilt] was simply the most dominant force on all levels of the game including streetball." Google: Elite 24 Rucker Park Legends
If there's another movie with Wilt in it, they should get Otto Porter to play Wilt!
Lmao cuz that’s his son?
Too short
Right with AI they can always film him in ways to make him look taller then 6'8".

I love this movie…saw a lot as a kid…NEVER knew KG was in it playing Wilt at the Rucker…🤯🤯🤯

How can anyone judge how good this man is without a single game in pro ledge, purely hype
@@dlc85007I’ll take the word of the pros that played with him at Rucker park, I never saw wilt play a single game but I can take the word of the people and players that did.
@dlc85007 not really, because he played against other legends, for example Kareem said that he was one of the best players he had seen in the 60's
Joe Smith

watched this movie 1000x, what a classic
I never seen this movie
I remember this movie used to be on repeat when it came out. I was 11 at the time. It was an HBO movie.
I was 10 and it taught me so much frfr. HBO used to drop 💎
Hell yeah me too good movie

Same here he could snatch the dollar an give you change or something along those lines
Just realized that that’s notorious NBA journeyman Joe Smith playing Connie Hawkins.
Notorious Onlyfans wife having Joe Smith
#1 draft pick in 95
I’m still mad the warriors drafted him 😂
That just caught my attention too! After watching this movie so many times! Smh
Is this the same "Joe Smith"?
Don Cheadle is the man!
This is when I KNEW that Don Cheadle is BRILLIANT!
Was
He only learned to ball for this movie. /s
It's takes time. This man could have did so much if it wasn't for drugs. RIP Earl Manigult.

I regret selling him his first bag.

That announcer be doing the absolute most LOL 🤣
When I saw that film in 1997, I thought to myself KG doesn't look anything like wilt
Its dumb they casted KG as Wilt he looks nothing like him
It's a 3 min scene... I doubt they'd go through great lengths to find someone that looks like Wilt. I think it's cool that they casted KG.
Wilt was taller & bigger and by the time this game happened, Wilt was 275+ lbs. Garnett looks 225-235, here.
If you're a casting director, and can find someone 7-1, 270 and looks anywhere near a Wilt Chamberlain, you're good at what you do!

Now Imma have to rewatch this movie..

He blocked then slam dunked on Wilt Chamberlain. That right there alone makes him a legend.

+ucialum these are facts. not make believe.
+ucialum these are witnesses that are confirming this.
+ucialum like dude said, MANY people confirmed he could touch the top of the backboard.
+Michael Wible he could
Not a hooper in my book if you never seen this Classic !
Underrated movie, underrated player, underrated acting job by Don C. GREAT ALL AROUND
Classic. Didn’t remember the cast for the movie was so great, but it was a great but sad movie. He was MJ of the streets.
Another great performance from Don Cheadle
That is young Kevin garnet
Do your thang, do your thang goat goat yea baby
This how you introduce players into a game💪🏾👏🏾👋🏾
Wilt the legend
My mom was a kid during Earls reign, it’s basically how we looked at the and 1 basketball players. They were famous before you saw them, you heard about them.
I remember reading Double Dunk in Jr High, as a LA kid it opened my eyes to East Coast cats.

The only high school athlete to play in Rucker Park pro league... FACts 💯
Peweeee Kirkland too brotha 💯💯
@@Letthat facts brotha, pewee cooked everyone… if the nba offered him a bigger contract he would have stopped selling dope😂
Forest Whitaker be the helpful janitor to the emerging long shot sports star in so many movies. 😅
Thannks for adding!!
I've been looking for this movie for a long time! Nice to see young KG protraited as Wilt Chamberlain.
anniexingyan NBC
He probably the biggest legend ever..due to he still legendary and majority of us never seen him play in real life...they had him jumping out the gym
The movie I thought didn’t focus enough on Earl’s basketball skills.
Factz fam!!!
It’s an adult film, it’s the African American basketball diaries
Facts.
I've actually stood next to Wilt Chamberlain , and Kevin Garnett doesn't quite measure up.
an underrated hood classic!!❤️
Love this movie, memories.
For them to call Earl the goat at the park with Wilt on the same court speaks4ITSELF
Noway now I gotta watch this big ups kg
People forget k.g played in this movie
Damn nevrvseen this
HAAAAA..@ 2:12 "Fuck that Goat, take it to the butter! "....
Big ups to Joe Smith from my hood in Norfolk VA drafted #1 outta Maryland, playing Hawkins
I'm from Bmore, Joe Smith was a beast!
William Ingram I was a big fan of Joe Smith. I thought he would’ve great in the NBA. He Still had a good long, career.
Yeah he had a solid career
Solid career for sure but he was UNREAL at Maryland
Joe Smitg sucked as soon as he left the Warriors
Goaltending
I think its pretty cool they made a movie about him.
I still remember like it was yesterday when they shot this in my neighborhood (St. James Town) in Toronto when I was just a yuut lol
My movie. HBO made another classic. Aint seen this in 10 years or more.
Teams in the Rucker didn't wear snappy matching screen printed uniforms in the 1960s. If you were lucky teams might wear "similar color" shirts but more often it was shirts vs skins.
One thing that is realistic: almost everybody wearing Converse Chuck Taylors. Adidas didn't hit the schoolyards until about 1970.
This was a great day on set.
Real OG classic
Is that Joe Smith?? Great casting…
Edit: Cheadle’s got some handles!!
Yessir
Kevin Garnett as Wilt Chamberlain was the worst misscasting since Eddie Winslow played Muhammad Ali😢😊!
Garnett not Durant. Durant wasn't even in middle school 😂
@@dremac33 my bad, i was drunk
@@antioneeason2466 man it happens right 🤣🤣
No mention of the 95’ #1 Overall draft pick Joe Smith
But it did talk about #5 draft pick of da 95 draft
It was so good that those days they played more for the basketball itself and the glory and less for the money...
I got to watch this movie I’m seeing alot of my favorite actors in one scene
Don Cheadle dunking on KG lmao 😂😂😂
The funniest thing is that neither Wilt nor Connie were ever bald headed!!!
LakersDynasty42 kg wasn't bald yet
Ur a goat for commenting in 2009
I was only two when u made this comment, now I’m 13 lol
3:17 Don Cheadle be like "Boom you are looking for this?"😂😂😂
Great movie!
Norfolk s finest joe smith playing Connie Hawkins aka hawk

Never realized that was KG lol. Although I haven't seen this since I was literally a kid.
the goat!
That piano in the background makes this movie seem like an after school special
“Yeah baby yeah ba- Brooklyn baby” 😂😂😂
If it wasn't for drugs, the Goat could have possibly become the best player ever.
except he wasnt much of a passer
@@C4pitalswank Neither was Kobe...or Jordan.
Most definitely
@@robertdavis3036, incorrect, Jordan was a very good passer.
Great movie! I have the VHS
Welcome to Harlem! Lmao
Saddest part when he thought he just missed a semester of school and he been out for like 3 years doing drugs 😢
If you know basketball, you’ve heard of the goat. What could’ve been.
Goat/Cheadle reminds of a kid from Virginia who went on to play for John Thompson and Next Town Brown…
this words remind me everytime in my life, this movie inspires me

But he did do double dunk
And break his high school
Record
Doc rivers as the coach is crazy 🤣
Black Brooklyn people in the 1960s spoke with North Carolina accents
Back when dudes wasn’t scared to play in the playground.

Damn! I’ve never seen this movie and just noticed my cousin is in this clip. 😂😂😂
did you know them back then? ya know, when this movie is taking place.
We don't talk about it much, but Don Cheadle could ball.
Jumping ability can consistently grow. It simply depends on how hard one is willing to work on it.
There’s no telling how great he would’ve been if he could’ve handled the pressure
yes it is
when im the only person which can watch youtube right now
true
watch the movie
Wow
How the hell is KG playing Wilt Chamberlain 😂😂😂😂😂
Should have had Rasheed Wallace play Wilt in 1996. Garnett would have been cast better as Bill Russell.
where can i watch the full movie online free?
Rucker tried to help but it seems like he didn't want it"
