| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Blue Chips |
|---|
Nick Nolte plays a college basketball coach, and Shaquille O'Neal is his star center. The movie has other noticeable names like Chris Webber, Calbert Cheaney and Anfernee Hardaway (Shaq's real-life teammate at the time). The coach recruits high-school stars all over the country who he believes can take his team to the NCAA Tournament. Nolte is his usual no-nonsense self, while Shaq brings the humor that will make you feel good all over.
