We have seen crazy things happen in sports and entertainment, but this one is pretty high up there. Last night, ESPN received news that in light of Ray Allen wearing “Shuttlesworth” on his jersey for the upcoming NBA-nickname night, that Ray and Spike Lee are contemplating on a He Got Game Sequel. Though there is a chance that making the sequel this long after the first brings the possibility of it being corny, we do think that there is a lane for film in the script makes sense.
According to Ray, he is committed to making the film happen; and facing imminent retirement sooner than later, he should have the time to get it done with Spike and company. Maybe seeing him in uniform with “Shuttlesworth” on the back of the jersey will be the final push to get things rolling.
Do you think Ray and Spike should team up for a He Got Game sequel? Let us know your thoughts on it after the jump.

“Sequels to most movies are always fluff and not as good as the first,” Allen said Tuesday night before the Heat played the New Orleans Pelicans. “But it’s something we’ve been talking about for the last couple months. If we get a really good story line and are able to bring everybody back, then it would be something worth doing.”
