- The better player Montrose could anchor a more interesting film about a white New York hooper navigating basketball and a racist home community; this is an imagined story, not supplied film backstory. — Wosny Lambre
- The opening best-basketball-movie claim is repeated as another hot take.
- The Georgetown ending is called the beginning of the Big East’s decline; later Syracuse/UConn success is a counterargument, while losing recruits like Marbury illustrates the claim.
