Saltzman Sees...Rebound (1996)

Rebound: The Legend of Earl "The Goat" Manigault is a true story of the greatest basketball player nobody got to see play.  Manigault, played by Don Cheadle, became legendary for his play at Rucker Park in New York.  However, he became a drug addict and wasn't ever able to pursue any dreams of playing basketball professionally.  It is a tragic look at the young life of "The Goat" but in the end it is the story of redemption and recovery.  James Earl Jones, Forrest Whitaker and Loretta Devine are all terrific in Eriq La Salle's directorial debut for HBO.

Eriq La Salle won my Best Director of 1996.

The TV Movie did not win any awards.  It is not even the most well-known movie named Rebound, ever since Martin Lawrence came out with a comedy of the same name in 2005.
