　　《篮球梦》观后感(一)：zzLives Forever Changed: The costars of Hoop Dreams didn't make it to the NBA, but that's no

　　http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1017052/index.htm

　　If there's a drawback common to most documentaries, it's the absence of closure, the lack of a sequel. No matter how engrossed an audience becomes in a subject, there is lingering curiosity. Take Hoop Dreams, the award-winning film that laid bare the myth of salvation through basketball. Neither William Gates nor Arthur Agee, the two Chicago hoops virtuosos whom the movie shadowed through their teenage years, ever made it to the NBA. That much most folks know. But five years after the release of the highly acclaimed film, what has happened to the two principals？

　　A hoop dreamer emeritus, Gates, 27, laughs self-effacingly when he recalls the intensity of his adolescent aspiration to make it to the pros. "Don't get me wrong, I still love basketball," he says. "But sometimes I can't believe how big a role it played in my life, how that guy in the movie was me."

　　As his well-upholstered midsection attests, basketball has slid precipitously on Gates's list of priorities. He is far more concerned with providing for his wife, Catherine—who was his high school girlfriend—and their three children, ages one, four and 10. Gates commutes 100 miles a day from the family's home in Wisconsin to Mt. Prospect, Ill., where he works for the Community Economic Development Association (CEDA). He plans to attend law school next fall. He is also on the board of directors of the fledgling Collegiate Professional Basketball League. "I'm just a normal, middle-class guy now," he says, "and that's fine with me."

　　At the end of Hoop Dreams, before Gates's freshman season in college, his basketball career had already peaked. Having never fully recovered from a knee injury he suffered in high school, Gates averaged less than eight points a game in his four years at Marquette. After taking a break from school to work full time, Gates received his degree in communications last spring. As the first member of his family to finish college, he had to approach the dean's office three times to ask for extra graduation tickets. "I had about 40 people cheering me on, including my three kids," he says. "Getting that piece of paper felt as good as any game-winning basket I ever made."

　　He doesn't want for anything, but William Gates will never be mistaken for Bill Gates. "Like most people," he admits, "I wish things were a little better for me financially." That said, does he resent that players such as the Washington Wizards' Juwan Howard and the Dallas Mavericks' Michael Finley, both of whom he lit up in high school, make millions in the pros？ "Not at all," says Gates, surprised by the question. "I root like crazy for those guys, and one day I'll tell my kids, 'I was part of that class.' They just went in one direction, and I went in another."

　　Hoop dreams have lingered longer for Arthur Agee. In the middle-class Chicago suburb of Berwyn, Ill., where he lives with his parents, Agee wakes up early to lift weights and do sit-ups before going to shoot jumpers in an empty high school gym. Several times a week he plays in basketball leagues around the city, including one with NBA players at the Moody Bible Institute. After playing college ball at Arkansas State, Agee did hard time in the IBL, the CBA and the USBL but claims he never got a fair shake. At each stop, he says, the team was more interested in his familiar name—"I was always the guy who had to go to car dealerships and sponsor lunches"—than in his skills. Still, there's no extinguishing his flame. "I try to be realistic," he says, "but I've still got a lot of game left in me, and I'm just hoping to catch my break."

　　While Agee, 26, has yet to wean himself from basketball, it is no longer his exclusive passion. Trading on the publicity he received from Hoop Dreams, Agee has embarked on an acting career. Two years ago he was asked to read for the part of Jesus Shuttlesworth—which went to Milwaukee Bucks guard Ray Allen—in Spike Lee's He Got Game; he instead landed a cameo. Earlier this year Agee played a prominent role in the TNT basketball movie Passing Glory. On the first day of shooting, Andr� Braugher, the movie's star, sought out Agee to tell him that he was a natural actor. "Maybe it was being in front of the camera so much when I was growing up," says Agee, "but taking on different roles and portraying different people comes easily to me."

　　True to the irrepressible personality he displayed on film as a teenager, Agee remains enormously sociable and is exploiting his quasicelebrity status to the hilt. He delivers motivational speeches to groups several times a month; he is planning to market a Hoop Dreams clothing line; and he has a consulting agreement with a Chicago health club. The unmarried father of three children, all of whom he sees regularly, Agee also runs the Arthur Agee Role Model Foundation, which provides scholarships and services to underprivileged kids. This fall the foundation has teamed with Chicago ophthalmologist Barry L. Seiller to provide visual performance testing and free contact lenses to athletes at Marshall High, Agee's alma mater. He spends the balance of his days "networking," as he puts it; his cell phone and pager play a constant symphony of beeps and buzzes.

　　The unexpected commercial success of Hoop Dreams brought Gates and Agee nearly $300,000 apiece in royalties. When Agee received his first check, he purchased a house in Berwyn for his parents. It's only a 10-minute drive from the family's previous, decrepit apartment in the West Garfield Park neighborhood of Chicago—where their lights were once turned off when they couldn't pay their electric bill—but it may as well be in another country. The Agees' tree-lined street is quiet; they have a small pool in the backyard, and there are excellent public schools nearby. It has been years since the move, but Sheila Agee nearly implodes with pride when she gives visitors a tour of the house. "With all the tough times we went through," she says, struggling valiantly to restrain tears, "I still can't believe this is ours？

　　As for other epilogues, Curtis Gates, who got as far as junior college basketball but was living vicariously through his younger brother, works for FedEx. Arthur's father, Bo Agee, has kicked his cocaine habit and, after serving time in prison, has remarried Sheila. He is self-employed as a motivational speaker. Arthur Agee and William Gates both chuckle when they report that their crusty coach at St. Joseph High, Gene Pingatore, finally made it to the Promised Land "downstate" last season. Pingatore sued the filmmakers over his portrayal in Hoop Dreams and later dropped the suit in exchange for the filmmakers donating scholarship money for students at both St. Joseph and Marshall high schools.

　　Though inextricably intertwined in our minds, Agee and Gates scarcely keep in touch. The last time the two saw each other, in 1998 at a party hosted by the movie's director, Steve James, Agee asked Gates if he had any interest in helping to launch the Hoop Dreams clothing line. Gates, who is so determined to move on that he initially declined SI's interview request and didn't want to pose for a photographer, smiled and shook his head in disbelief. "Arthur," he said, "why would anyone want to buy basketball jerseys with our names on them？"

　　ays Agee, "I told William we have to be creative and seize the opportunities. We're just different, I guess."

　　They do, however, agree that fate intervened when they consented to let a team of filmmakers follow them for nearly 4� years and thrust their lives into the public domain. "You have to remember," says Gates, "when you're in middle school and live in Cabrini-Green and three guys say they want to make a movie about you, it made you feel special." Likewise, not a day goes by that Agee doesn't think about where he'd be if not for Hoop Dreams. "I've met the President, I've been to the NAACP Image Awards, I've signed an autograph for Magic Johnson, I still get noticed in airports," says Agee, who, when folks can't quite place his face, likes to say he's a golfer. "Things like this don't usually happen to guys like me."

　　In a wonderfully poignant scene in the movie that critic Roger Ebert called "one of the best films about American life I have ever seen," Gates tells how a friend said to him, "When you get to the NBA, don't forget about me." Without missing a beat Gates responded, "Well, if I don't make it, don't forget about me." At two vastly different coordinates, a million miles removed from the NBA, Gates and Agee are making it just fine. Funny how a low-budget documentary funded by piecemeal grants can provide a slam dunk of a Hollywood ending.

　　《篮球梦》观后感(二)：不关篮球，更不关乎梦想

　　美国著名影评人罗杰•艾伯特在他的1994年年度十佳片的榜单首位放着这部长达三小时的纪录片。在罗杰•艾伯特看来，这部纪录片是他看过的“最好的电影”之一。六年之后，在评选90年代最伟大的电影时，艾伯特照样把它放在了榜首。感谢艾伯特的坚持，让这部电影在“折戟”当年奥斯卡最佳纪录长片后（理由居然是时间太长），仍然能获得与它质量相符的客观评价。咋一看电影标题。我们就能对电影内容猜个八九不离十了，这也是我一直“忽略”这部电影的原因，一来本人对篮球实在缺乏热情；二来看多了好莱坞的励志电影，“梦想”早已成了“廉价”的代名词。但当影片结束时，我不得不对自己长时间的“忽略”十分后悔。这恐怕是有史以来最真实、最残酷、也最动人的关于运动，关于理想的电影了！正因为它的真实、残酷、动人使它超越了故事本身，让我们看到了隐藏在背后的命运之手，看到了那个原本虚幻缥缈的“美国精神”的真正内涵！

　　套用一句流行语“这部影片继承了直接电影运动的光荣传统，梅索斯兄弟、怀斯曼、艾伦•金在这一刻灵魂附体。”三位主创（斯蒂文•詹姆斯、弗雷德•马克思、彼得•吉尔伯特）跟踪两位主人公长达六年时间，记录了他们追寻梦想的每一个脚步。电影开头，两位少年分别看着电视中播放的NBA全明星比赛，看着乔丹的“表演”诉说着自己的“篮球梦”。作为这座城市的精神偶像，迈克尔•乔丹6枚总冠军戒指，5次常规赛MVP，6次总决赛MVP，10次常规赛得分王，连续842场比赛得分上双（连我这个“伪球迷”都记得这些）让他由人变神。迈克尔•乔丹正是美国梦发展到极致后的一座丰碑，其影响力已远远超过了体育界。对于亚瑟、威廉两位芝加哥黑人少年来说，乔丹更是超越偶像的英雄，是能用一生去诠释的传奇。两位黑人少年同样生活于贫民区，暴力、毒品在他们的生活中如影随形，而逃离这一切的出口就是篮球，篮球承载着超越一项体育运动本身的思想寓意。参加体育运动不仅是消遣，其精髓在于可以让你在短时间内进入一个崭新的世界，里面有不同的玩家、不同的规则，短暂逃离现实世界，游走于这种“真实的虚幻”之间，实现心灵的极大满足。当你具备了极强的天赋与超一般的能力时，体育可以让你“一步登天”告别不堪回首的过去，如亚瑟、威廉所言“拥有大房子”“告别这个地区”梦想如此简单、明了。这是美国从当年那批清教徒开始，与多元社会相伴而行的精神内核、共同信仰——“自由”所发展出的“个人主义”式的理想奋斗模式，与我们所提倡的“将个人有限的能力投身到无尽的为人民服务中去”的“集体主义”理想奋斗模式相比，这种“个人主义”并非单纯的妄自尊大，而是自我肯定，自我目标的肯定。自我奋斗是成功的必要条件，但让人不得不接受的是，光靠自我奋斗是绝对不够的，机遇是成功的充分条件。应该说两位主人公的机遇是到来了，他们被好的中学选中，有更好的发展机会，进入大学的概率提升，最终踏入NBA的希望也大大提高。（这基本上是美国体育的一种固定的培养模式，从高中到大学，能突破这套培养模式的人少之又少，在我印象中好像现在老鹰队的史密斯就是直接从高中进入联盟的。）“游戏规则”之下，个人命运被某些不确定的东西摆布着，亚瑟无法负担学费，不得不进入一个黑人为主的公立学校；威廉的膝盖受伤，连动两次手术，甚至在最关键的耐克训练营时因伤表现不佳。在“游戏规则”之内，对于每个人却不是一样公平。亚瑟、威廉都因为分数而伤透了脑筋。大学模式是美国体育的骄傲，它提供一个不仅在体育，同时也在生活中成熟的培养模式，但电影中我们看到这种培养模式的种种弊端。威廉最终进入马凯大学，但也未能完成学业。各个大学为吸引人才，不断开出优厚条件，过早将学生纳入“商业模式”中去培养，无不是对这个号称“不拘一格降人才”的选拔制度的莫大讽刺。一个成功的运动员必须在他人生的各个阶段经历着一轮又一轮的“选秀”（Draft）这更像是一次又一次的赌博：他们都是没有完成的璞玉，而被谁选择，也许就意味着自己一生将何去何从。亚瑟、威廉本来被同一所中学选中，但之后的人生道路却走向了不同的两端。

　　影片继承了美国直接电影运动的成果，将摄影机对准了当事人，观察、等待，主创扮演了一次成功的不介入的旁观者。父亲的刑满释放、自己的第一个孩子诞生，两位年轻人在这些年来经历着人生的一次次挑战。导演没有选择惯用的“双重视角”而选择了“多重视角”。换言之，并没有从两位主人公的眼睛去观察这个社会，而是在聚焦主人公的同时，不时用周围人的眼光来审视主人公，对于描绘“社会横断面”来说效果显著。如拉毕格在《纪录片创作完全手册》中所说“如果把社会比作一幅织毯，而影片中的每个人物代表社会阶层中的一个成员，那么他们形式各异而又相互制衡的视点就构成了织毯上不同特色的纹理。”黑人社区、白人学校、中学联赛……两位主人公这段人生经历中的重要横断面被一一剖析开来。商业、金钱、种族等社会问题被摄影机无情放大。运动员、教练都在追求着那个未知的“极限”（本来写作“extreme”但美国人习惯写作“xtreme”就是为了突出那个大写的“X”未知的，你永远无法预想到的未来。）你必须好，好了之后更好，不能有丝毫的懈怠，因为稍一松懈，就会有其它人迎头赶上。你必须成为自己球队的领袖，没有人会去注意其它“角色球员”，球探的眼里只有领袖。亚瑟、威廉无疑都是他们各自球队的领袖，但关键时刻的两罚不中、重要比赛的迟到、球场上的不努力，这些领袖决不能犯的错误，他们都犯过。这些经历也促使他们能更快成熟。机会有限，也许一次关键时刻的投篮不中就能让你经历从天堂到地狱般的痛苦折磨。

　　威廉得到了最后一个高中赛季的MVP。最有价值球员的称号无疑是把TOP，BEST这样的绝对个人色彩的价值判断淡化了，突出了个人在球队中的“价值”（valuable）这是美国人的一项“重大发明”。其实我们看到影片的大部分时间呈现给观众的是两个家庭的家长为了孩子的梦想的付出与坚持。亚瑟与威廉正是他们人生“价值”的体现，他们梦想的最终寄托。为了孩子能顺利毕业、为了能进入一个好大学，两个家庭牺牲了太多。对于任何一个美国黑人运动员来说“种族主义”（Racism）永远是罪恶的挡箭牌，是他们必须要逾越的障碍。不难发现在NBA和NFL的运动员比例中，黑人球员占去大半，但不可否认的是NBA和NFL的大部分受众却是住在城市郊区的美国白人中产阶级。一切的判断标准不是黑人所谓的Hip——pop嘻哈文化，而是白人的保守主义。社会的评判标准并未如这个社会构成般多元。梦想只能是在限制的范围内去实现。从这一点上来说，《篮球梦》可算是一部“反乌托邦”电影，它拒斥了那种一味强调个人奋斗、个人英雄主义的“美国梦”，它将观众放在一个黑暗的隧道中，前方出口处阳光明媚，但我们又似乎永远走不到尽头！

　　《篮球梦》观后感(三)：「重剑无锋，大巧不工。」

　　1.

　　独孤求败四十岁时候的境界叫做“重剑无锋，大巧不工”。杨过看了之后懂了，一只手抡起玄铁重剑之后就天下无敌。

　　好莱坞发展了一百年，研究透了摄影剪辑配乐。他们把故事变成工业，加工起承转合就像外科手术，刺激肾上腺素和荷尔蒙几乎随心所欲，可是终究只是招式娴熟凌厉。要说境界，还是差了一层。

　　Hoop Dreams的导演花了6年时间跟拍Arthur和William，拍了250小时的素材，剪成了三个小时的电影。这是重剑。6年时间，两个家庭；从14岁到20岁的年轻人，事无巨细的流水账，粗糙的画面；没有刻意加工设计的悬疑惊喜跌宕起伏，也没有忧国忧民义正辞严的腔调情怀。这是不工。可是这都不算什么。6年时间谁都可以有，把粗糙的素材按时间顺序堆到屏幕上也不需要什么艺术成就。但是能让三个小时的流水账电影看起来像排山倒海惊涛骇浪一样无处可逃的，就没有几人了。

　　乔峰在聚贤庄打太祖长拳，令狐冲无招胜有招，天下第一躲在藏经阁里扫地。说白了都是境界二字。

　　2.

　　谁能说这个电影没有他的价值取向？谁能说这个电影没有想要反映的社会问题？可是你越想听他越不说。他也想说，可是他不说。

　　我打赌导演肯定想过在电影里的某个片段插入一段旁白：全美国有多少多少的黑人小孩在把篮球作为生活的出路，他们有多少来自贫穷的黑人群，又有多少会吸毒，会犯罪，会被谋杀。可是他没有，这样太露锋芒。不好。

　　我还打赌导演的采访的时候肯定想问William是什么让他在高中还没毕业就成为了父亲，甚至可能他真的问了。可是我们没有在片子里看到。这一招不用出就会被看透，不如不出。所以我们只看到William和女友抱着孩子，幸福地笑着看着对方，看着孩子。

　　y the way, 这个镜头多么像在对他们俩说：“前路漫漫，你们俩两眼一抹黑，祝你们还能像今天这么幸福。”

　　我们就默默地陪着两个孩子生活了整个高中，看着他们战斗。在篮球场上战斗，在生活中战斗。和贫穷斗，和伤病斗，和家庭矛盾斗，和社会期待斗。导演不倾斜不评价，直接把所有观众关进了笼子里。任你心里再多的问题，再多的思考，都被隔在主人公的生活之外。他们的生活不变的向前走，你的一切声音和探索都石沉大海。

　　故事排山倒海而来，你的探索不光没有回响还马上就被淹没。可是你会善罢甘休吗？你不会。你的一切问题积郁在心里，只等外面的世界风平浪静电影放完了最后一个画面，你才在心里山呼海啸。你会想如果你是Arthur或者William会怎样？你会想如果他们俩是白人会怎样？如果William没有受伤会怎样？Arthur的爸爸没有吸毒又会怎样？而对这些所有的问题，你只有一个答案：现实里没有如果。

　　3.

　　人们说这个电影讲的是反乌托邦反鸡汤。他讲了种族问题，教育问题，贫穷问题，毒品问题，可是他远不止于此。他讲的是两个活生生的篮球天才曾经切身经历过的生活。这些问题都不是他们的生活，与这些问题日复一日地纠缠直到不以为然才是。

　　人们在面对自己的生活时不谈Big Picture，谈的是分分秒秒的生活和远方的梦想。

　　整个电影的第一个采访片段里，14岁的William对着镜头眼睛里闪闪发光地说，我要打NBA。而四年之后他说：

　　“You know, four years ago, that’s all I used to dream about, was playing in the NBA. I don’t really dream about it like that anymore. You know, even though I love playing basketball, but I want to do other things with my life too. If I had to stop playing basketball right now, I think I’d still be happy. I think I would.”

　　“That’s why when someone say, when you get to the NBA, don’t forget about me, and all that stuff, I should say to them, well, if I don’t make it, watch you don’t forget about me.”

　　你看，只有少不经事才会奋不顾身。

　　4.

　　对了，独孤求败的下一层境界是“不滞于物，草木竹石均可为。自此精修，渐进于无剑胜有剑之境”。不知道什么时候能看到这样的电影。

　　《篮球梦》观后感(四)：【64】《篮球梦》：梦轻碎了一地——鲸鱼推荐872部好电影

　　梦轻碎了一地

　　《篮球梦》 Hoop Dreams 年代：1994年 / 国家：美国 / 导演：史蒂夫·詹姆斯 / 主演：威廉·盖茨、亚瑟·阿奇

　　因为青春无敌，所以少年们都足够的资本去追逐梦想。史蒂夫·詹姆斯前后花费6年时间，跟拍威廉和亚瑟两个黑人男孩的逐梦历程。他们生在黑人贫民窟，打篮球对于他们来说已不单单是一种日常娱乐消遣，更是能让他们脱离现有生活状态的唯一方式。在球探的挖掘下，威廉和亚瑟进入圣约瑟夫高中就读，但之后他们却走上两条不同的人生轨迹。亚瑟由于家里太穷，交不起学费，只能退学。威廉则受到好心人资助，高中学费全免，可是偏偏这时他的膝盖出现了问题，导致比赛成绩不佳，尽管后来也曾有过不错的战绩，但在进入大学之后，他却逐渐放弃了成为NBA球员的梦想，转而把重心放在家庭上。他们用最真实的经历诠释了那句话：“追求梦想最坏的结果，也不过是清醒而已。”但那段坐在电视机前目不转睛看球赛、在球场上跟队友们奋勇拼搏的热血青春却被胶片记下，成为再也回不去的珍贵过往。值得一提的是，片中还穿插了一个叫哥德斯的前篮球运动员的经历，他也曾经叱咤球坛一段时间，但如今他却是一个小区保安，身份的落差，也为梦想的凋零做了个残酷的注脚。

　　这部电影的优点是细节十分丰满，但缺点也恰恰在此，就像它当年没能获得奥斯卡最佳纪录片奖的原因一样：时长过长。但实际上除了梦想的主题之外，它还反映出了美国种族问题的现状，黑人只能靠篮球这一条路获得白人的尊重？这也引发了我们的反思。

　　痛点

　　第66分钟，威廉在比赛还剩下6秒钟的时候，得到两次罚球机会。他被称为“罚球王”，按理来说应该不成问题，可是这一回却出人意料地两球无一成功。也许是膝盖的伤痛让他压力倍增，但失败仍然令人惋惜，球迷们纷纷指责他，威廉在赛后也禁不住在母亲的怀里痛哭。

　　《篮球梦》观后感(五)：小觑《篮球梦》

　　由于学习要求，必须欣赏的一部影片，名为《篮球梦》。本以为是老套的励志片，但很惊喜，它是一部令我喜爱的纪录片。篮球梦讲述的是2个热爱篮球的少年在长达六年的时间里，通过在高中的表现最终进入到大学，并离自己的愿望越来越近。影片不仅仅记录了学校的生活，更多的是融入到了他们的家庭，信仰和所处的生活环境之中。黑人区的生活出了篮球和亲情意外机务都是残酷的，暴力和毒品充斥在没一个角落，当然这些只是铺垫，可要在如此的环境下始终坚持梦想并付诸实践却是件头疼的事，因为面对着太多的压力和困难，谁又能坚持那份天真的理想初衷。两个年轻人都知道，篮球对他们的意义不仅仅是在热爱的程度上，更是一座通往新生活通往理想主义的桥梁，在篮球面前，贫穷，疾病，暴力，毒品都显得那么渺小，也正是于此，篮球变得神圣，变为正义和辉煌的象征。

　　在观看影片的过程中，曾经几次被感动，但我总希望再多些，在近一些。或许是因为主题的缘故，更多的描述还关于在两个少年在球队中的表现上，如果对生活的描述能再多一些，或许会让人更深刻的了解“梦想”两个字的意义，又或许导演及主创人员在6年的拍摄中，记录了所有，毕竟6年的拍摄素材是不可想象的，最终3个小时的成片毕竟是删删减减，如果有幸的话真的希望能看到更全面更有张力的版本。

　　《篮球梦》观后感(六)：坚持信仰

　　在这部纪录片叙事的圆心处，是两个热爱篮球男孩进入NBA的梦想。

　　每个人在少年时期都会有过那样的梦，希望自己可以跟自己的偶像做同样的工作，变成跟自己的偶像一样厉害。或许在这个世界上，每一分每一秒都会有无数个少年萌发出将来有一天要进入NBA打球的念头，可是最后的最后，究竟又有多少人能实现那样的愿望呢？

　　o matter where you go, it’s what you have in your heart that you’re gonna go somewhere.

　　一知半解的对着全英文的字幕看完了Hoop dreams，对这句话的印象最为深刻。虽然在Arthur的毕业典礼用母亲的独白方式表达出来似乎有些升华主体的刻意为之，不过依旧出奇的感动。

　　那是关于信仰的东西，是yes we can的信仰，是只要始终抱着那个信念就会到达那个地方的乐观的爱。

　　只是现实永远是出乎意料的残酷。

　　对于William和Arthur这两个家境贫寒的黑人少年来说，对于篮球的那份单纯的爱已经逐渐演变为改变命运的必需。William生活在一个单亲家庭，只有一个做保安的哥哥，后来还成了一个孩子的父亲，Arthur的父亲是个瘾君子，一家人靠着社会救济生活。

　　正如Spike .Lee在麦当劳夏令营上将的那样，最后归结还是钱的问题。

　　所以William努力表现，因为良好的球技而获得别人资助，而Arthur则因为交不出学费被圣约瑟高中冷漠的开除。

　　然而不是所有生活在贫民窟的黑人少年都像他们两个那样幸运可以因为一技之长而得到上大学的机会，他们中的大多数或是被毒品酒精吞噬，或是只能像William的哥哥那样每天辛苦的工作养家糊口。

　　即便William最终成功的通过了考试进入了马凯大学，Arthur也从辍学生成为了真正的高中毕业生，他们距离自己进入NBA的梦想依旧很远。当他们逐渐发现篮球已经不再是生活中不可缺少的那一部分的时候，当生活已经让他们无暇再顾及篮球的生活，最初的梦似乎已经被丢到了很远的地方。

　　因为与NBA相关，所以看这部纪录片时总会不知不觉地想起一些关于Kobe的事，比如参加麦当劳全美高中生夏令营，比如带领着马里昂高中获得宾洲的冠军，再比如高中毕业之后直接进入NBA那个万众瞩目的选择。我猜他大概是在他父亲给他的那盘魔术师的录像带里找到了今生而奋斗的目标——成为NBA最好的选手。不过与影片里的两个怀揣同样梦想的少年相比，他毫无疑问是幸运的，夯实的家底和家人的全力支持让他始终坚定着那个目标向前，成为了现在他。

　　对于更多因为种种原因没能实现梦想的人来说，始终抱着那棵坚定的心，即便你最终无法到达，你依旧可以快乐的生活下去。
