After many months of waiting, here's the fanmake based on a cult film made by the Warner Brothers (And the Warner Sister), 20 years in the making.
Prologue: Welcome to the Jam
It was a beautiful night in Woodcrest, Georgia. The crickets were chirping, the urban cars were going to their homes after a long day's work, and most importantly, the Woodcrest Eagles beat the Lincoln Park Horns the Backyard Basketball Association Finals in a deciding game in Game 7, 87-85. All thanks to the talented Huey Freeman, but the 10-year old African American kid has considered leaving the sport and trying to play in the Backyard Baseball League.

That night, Huey was shooting hoops in his Grandfather's driveway, still thinking about his Backyard Basketball career and the legacy he had.
R. Kelly: I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
"Man, whatchu doing, Huey? It's after 12." Riley said, while heading towards the driveway.
"Eh, I couldn't sleep." Huey replied, taking one shot.
"Neither can we, with the noise you're making. Let's go inside." Riley said, walking towards his brother.
"I'm just gonna make a few more shots." Huey said, with the game still on his mind.
"Aight. In fact, Shoot till you miss." Riley replied, shrugging. And Huey shot some more shots, making each one of them. "So, that was your last BBA game?"
"Yeah, I'd thought I'd give baseball a shot." Huey then said, still shooting baskets.
"You think if l can get good enough, l can go to college?" Riley asked.
"lf you get good enough, you can do anything you want." Huey replied, "North Carolina is what I'd recommend. That's a real fine school. I heard that you can get a good education."
"l want to play on a championship team. Then l want to play in the NBA." Riley said.
"All right, let's slow down, man. Shouldn't you get some sleep first?" Huey replied. "I start baseball in the summer."
Huey did have a point. Focus on the now and focus on the later, that way you can think things through as the years go by.
"When you've done that..." Riley then said, "...l suppose you're going to fly?"
The truth is, Huey doesn't know what will happen in the future, but whatever it is, he'll be ready for it. After an hour of shooting baskets, the 2 siblings agreed to hit the sack for the night, but then, Huey looks back at the hoop, and grins momentarily, and runs to the hoop, thinking about his BBA career, and making a successful layup.
