    A decade and a half after "Hoop Dreams," Steve James examines a dream that was nearly denied in "No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson," looking at a basketball star whose career was almost ended before it started by a racially charged court case.

    On Valentine's Day 1993, 17-year-old Bethel High School basketball star Allen Iverson was bowling in Hampton, Va., with five high school friends. It was supposed to be an ordinary evening, but it became a night that defined Iverson's young life. A quarrel soon erupted into a brawl pitting Iverson's young black friends against a group of white patrons. The fallout from the fight and the handling of the subsequent trial landed the teenager-considered by some the nation's best high school athlete-in jail and sharply divided the city along racial lines. Steve James ("Hoop Dreams") returns to his hometown of Hampton, where he once played basketball, to take a personal look at this still-disputed incident and examine its impact on Iverson and the shared community.

    I'm just interested in hearing his story I used to see him regularly in Atlantic City at the Taj Mahal playing blackjack, it was a sad sad sight watching him drop wads of cash like he did
