It would be alot better if the someone with more talent wrote the script, poor acting, I don't know what positive reviewers thought when they wrote their reviews.

This film does an excellent job in painting the picture of a down and out guy who has one last chance. The story is the classic come-back-from-behind, a staple of sports movies, but the authenticity of the backdrop helps a great deal. Michael Irvin is excellent in an understated performance as the sports agent gone bad. He has a few skeletons in his closet and the film handles this cliché well. Chris Staples plays a ex con and convinces. The energy in the slam dunk contests is effortlessly captured. I found 'Slamma Jamma' clichéd but heartwarming and its one of my all time favorite sports movies.

Worse than an after school special. 7.4 ? gimme a break. So many clichés and predictability. Acting is deplorable. Casting at its worst. I am so frutsated I want to leave white. however they ask for five lines minimum. didi IMDb rate this so high due to the hoop la created by Jaden Smith??

in my opinion, this is one of my all-time favorite movies. they are correct when they call it "the rocky of the 2000's". this is a great movie that will motivate you to get things done and will also make you realize you can do anything you put your mind to."Slamma Jamma" is another one of those movies that shows you that anyone can make a difference. Even if they're at the bottom. But what this movie has over the other is that they do it with a lot more spice and character. Chris Staples, who is a real-life slam dunk champion, plays a character who's been through too much; but never seems to give up, no matter what the costs. Staples accomplishes this to it's total capacity. By showing the audience that working hard, never giving up, and giving it your best shot could inspire anyone to accomplish anything. Staples is also well suited for the role for his reflection of pursuit, emotion, and talent to take in the bad and the good influences. Michael Irvin is also good in the film.This is truly an inspirational film. You don't have to be a basketball fan to cheer for Diggs. This is a wonderful true-life example of a person stopping at nothing to achieve their dream. It is highly emotional and marvelously acted by all. I'm not sure how many of the details of this film really happened, but Diggs was a real person. He did overcome great odds. He should be motivation for us all.Not By FAr, But Slamma Is the greatest Football Movie ever made. The Determination and Heart of One Man That leaves you hooked through the whole movie is Outrageous. You Find yourself Pushing Diggs closer to his dream even though you know its just a movie. The ACting was well done, and the Scrpit was Perfect. The Ironic thing is its a True story making it even more conpelling. This is one of the Few movies that leaves a Happy tear in my eye at the end. If you Want to see a movie that is Worth the money to Rent or even Buy, See this one.Naturally assumes its rightful place among the great sports films of our time. It can easily go punch for punch and hit for hit with ROCKY, THE NATURAL, or FIELD OF DREAMS. It is the classic story of the underdog beating all of the odds to succeed on his own terms. Chris Staples doesn't perform Michael, he simply is Michael, and on his shoulders we are carried along on a great ride. A great sports movie, a great family movie, a great movie. Michael! Michael! Michael!I had a similar epiphany in my life where once I thought my life was all over and then I found there was so much more with some good effort and following your heart. I ball my eyes out at the end of the movie. What else can I say?Plot- 9.5/10 Acting 9/10 Script 10/10 Directing 10/10 Flow 9/10Overall 9.4/10
