Ray Allen acting
I have always liked Ray Allen as a basketball player but his acting was unbearable in some scenes. Travis Best acting was way better and his role was minor.

shareYeah he had his moments but on the whole I think Ray did a good enough job. The acting around him is fantastic so the movie still works.
shareOnly problems I had with him was the way his lines were delivered. His emotions and anger toward Denzel really come off as believable and I think the acting around him is strong enough to make up for it.
shareI'm watching for the first time today and I specifically paused the movie and came on this board to say the same thing. He's so horrible it's taking me out of the movie. I jus had to know who this terrible actor was. He sounds like he's reading the lines. Horrible casting decision.
I don't think the casting choice was bad he just needed some acting classes or something. He was the perfect fit for the role but he just can't deliver any lines effectively. Maybe he did have some classes. I don't know, but surprisingly Ray Allen was one of the reasons people were excited about this movie when it came out.
shareTravis Best's acting was probably "better" because he didn't have to carry a whole movie.
"Do you even remember what you came here to find?"
Yeah Spike messed up by hiring a basket ball player to play him, more part of the movie requires acting more than it does professional balling so they shoulda went with someone who could act but also had a bit of b ball chops to pull off seeming like a good player

He's not an actor and you could tell, but he was far from the worst in the movie.
