Per the Associated Press (via ESPN), “[Allen] and filmmaker Spike Lee have spent time over the last couple months discussing a sequel.”

Allen is still often called “Jesus” by his teammates and when prompted about the potential of a sequel with the legendary director, expressed his willingness to make the project happen.

“Hopefully it works out,” said Allen, who was familiar with the reality of being a highly recruited High School basketball star.

“Not one day goes by where I walk in here and guys don’t say that they didn’t watch it last night or it wasn’t on,” Allen said. “I don’t know who’s in charge of delegating what gets on TV, but it seems like that movie’s been on a lot the last two or three months.”
