You go Arthur Agee Jr.! You made your father proud! I am proud of you and the fact you graduated college! I am sorry about your dad! How is your pretty mother? I am so proud of you in Hoop Dreams, your talent and determination to succeed! May God continue to bless you and your family!
This is a blessing. I feel like I grew up with Arthur and William from watching the documentary. I was only a year behind them in school C/O 92 here! I also grew up in the inner city, and I made it just like them. This video makes my heart smile. Arthur is so humble and down-to-earth. Keep up the great work
U can say hoop dreams was such a big factor in his life it actually had a lot to do w molding him into the man he became! What a great story and what a great legacy that he'll carry w him his whole life. It'll keep him n William w ties for life even when they go long periods of time without talking.
What an incredible journey... he has definitely grown to be a great role model for young black men from the hood. Follow your dreams no matter what and if it doesn't pan out... life goes on. Love his positive energy. His parents did a fantastic job given the circumstances. God bless you Arthur!!!🏀
So happy to see Arthur doing well. He was a great kid and grew into a good man . Great to see him so happy ... I guess we feel like we know him from watching Hoop Dreams so many times
The goal was always to get paid playing basketball and Arthur Agee accomplished that. By Arthur's Senior year He became a good high school basketball guard who had good ball handling skills, he was a good shooter, he was a good defender, he could pass the ball well, he was playing above the rim (dunking by the end of his sophomore year) and was extremely fast and quick. Arthur and Derrick Zinnerman made a great back court which caused trouble for a lot of teams including Chicago Westinghouse, Chicago King (26-2) and Batavia (27-2) which were big wins for Marshall that year. Can't forget Cesare Christian and Quadell Kimball great play in the front court. The Batavia game was great for Arthur. Especially in the second half. Arthur (15 pts) outplayed all American guard Lamar Justice (8 pts) in that game. Cesare and Derrick Z played great as well. Cesare was a good inside player that could shoot from the outside. Anyway that 1991 Marshall team was good there speed caused trouble for the other teams. Anyway Arthur ended up playing professional basketball. In college he started four years 2 at Mineral Area and 2 at Arkansas State which is a great accomplishment, Derrick Zinnerman played college ball at Kennedy King and I believe Cesare played college ball too. Not sure about Quadell Kimble.
What an incredible journey... he has definitely grown to be a great role model for young black men from the hood. Follow your dreams no matter what and if it doesn't pan out... life goes on. Love his positive energy. His parents did a fantastic job given the circumstances. God bless you Arthur!!!🏀
