Whatever Happened to Hoop Dreams

The Chicago Tribune checks in on the stars of 1994's Hoop Dreams. It is one of my favorite documentaries, following the lives of two high school basketball players hoping to make it to the NBA.

"Gates, the reserved one, has become an authoritative force who leads a church in the Cabrini area. He is married with four kids. Agee, a spirited charmer, doesn't have a regular job but is launching a line of 'Hoop Dreams' apparel. He has five kids by five different women."

I can't believe the movie is 14 years old and Gates and Agee are in the mid-thirties!
