Great contribution to similar movies

Movies like "Stand and Deliver" and "Freedom Writers" came to mind while watching this movie. FW centered on identity and connecting with students, but in "Rocky" fashion CC presents Jackson as a coach like Mickey.

And like Rocky, the team is the underdog, and to make more sense of the movie they seem to be in a lower league. They have to succeed past their low expectations on the court and in their academics. There is also one more lesson.

7/10
