I'm talking about the movie beloved by millions of people around the world. Ray Allen did a great job portraying a young basketball player and now it's hard to imagine someone else in this role. And that's exactly what I'm about to do.
You probably know that Spike originally considered Kobe for the role, but he turned it down because he wanted to spend a summer preparing for the next season or work on his fashion choices.
Tracy McGrady auditioned but turned out to be too reserved. He was probably so nervous around Rosario Dawson he couldn't put two words together.
KG was too smiley and big he would make the movie look like a comedy.
Stephon Marbury, as Coney Island's kid and Abraham Lincoln HS alumnus and, don't forget, the star of a Chinese musical would've been a great fit for the movie. But it didn't work out.
Rick Fox was just too damn gorgeous it would've been hard to concentrate on the story. No homo)

On the other hand, Allen Iverson, who also tried his hand at acting, was too swaggy for Jesus. Having read the script, he demanded to use this scene as an audition.
