But Byron Harper is determined to change all that with a dream called basketball. His hottest player, Truth has a chance to turn pro, but first Harper has to tackle two major obstacles: Truth's drug problem and his ambitious, crooked sports agent. Enter Zack Telander, a promising young attorney who has given up is small town law practice. He's spending a summer in the city playing pick-up basketball and re-thinking his future. Harper asks for his help, but first Zack has to prove himself at the hoops. That won't be easy going up against real-life NBA stars Bo Kimble and Hakeem Olajuwon. HEAVEN IS A PLAYGROUND is an inspiring fast break story. Reader Reviews A bad movie based on the best basketball book of all time. The basketball scenes are not realistic or interesting, I just couldn't get over this fact. Its a basketball movie with a lot of time spent on the court. It should at least be fun to watch them play. Its not. The Bo Kimble cameo is the only thing that mildly interested me about this movie. It tries to throw in several playground legends and stories and real-life experiences, but ends up coming off as a non-believable, overdone movie.
