Thumbnail for Arthur Agee

Arthur Agee Jr. is an American former professional basketball player. He was one of two Chicago-area basketball players whose lives were chronicled in the 1994 documentary Hoop Dreams. Agee played college basketball for the Arkansas State Red Wolves and professionally with the Winnipeg Cyclone of the International Basketball Association.

Agee is the second child and first son of Arthur "Bo" Agee Sr. and Sheila Agee. During his younger years, he lived in the north side of the Chicago area near where William Gates, the other star of Hoop Dreams, lived. By the time the movie began filming, the Agees had moved to the West Garfield Park neighborhood, which remained Agee's home until his graduation. Upon graduation from grammar school in 1987, he was discovered by part-time, unofficial talent scout Earl Smith, who convinced the Agee family to send Agee to St. Joseph's High School, a private, predominantly white, suburban school.
