Holy white savior complex. A two hour biopic on the first black man to play in the NBA that features roughly 90 minutes of old white guys yelling at each other.

this movie was something..i think it had so much potential the basketball sequences were my favorite part i think everett osborne was the highlight of the movie but the dialogue fell flat most of the time and the flashbacks did not have any depth
