Title: Hoop Dreams II - Hoop Reality....Patrick Beverly
Post by: dw3dw3dw3 on November 06, 2009, 11:48:31 AM
Not a flattering review, but an interesting topic of Patrick Beverley and his dreams. Arthur Agee is the "associate producer".

Last I read, and this is probably going back a year or so, he was a minister or doing some kind of social services in the Chicago area. I can't recall the details, but remember reading an article and feeling good about what Gates was doing with his life, and thinking that Agee was somewhat lost. I think the article was in the Chicago Trib around the time of an anniversary of the movie.

Thanks, that is good to hear, I'm rereading "You Can Call Me Al" and it is refreshing and heartening to hear and read stories about Marquette and Marquette basketball making a difference in lives.  I hope that William Gates considers Marquette a positive influence.
