Arthur Agee went through some challenging times as a kid, but it made him the man he is today.

To share his story and get his message across to the public, Agee dropped by the studio on Friday to preview 'Hoop Dreams,' a documentary film that chronicles the journey of two African-American teenagers, one of them Agee, from Chicago who aspire to be professional basketball players, which will air Sunday at 7 p.m. on Comcast SportsNet.

"It's a roller coaster of emotions," Agee said during an interview with CSN, which can be seen in the video above. "Just regular family life. Two great families that love one another and going through their struggles in the inner city — on the north side of Chicago, on the west side of Chicago. But overall, you're going to see a family that loves each other and would go to any lengths to see the success of their children."

The film was also named No. 1 on CSN's top-20 list of most underrated sports movies ever.
