Is this the best performance of Will Smith's career

That or pick any of the ones from his movie "The Pursuit of Happiness."

nothing tops this scene in Will's career

Your selection is second for sure, but the ambition, originality, and execution of that one is tops.

Great scene, but honestly thought one of you haters were going to link this

This scene gets me every time and definitely made me cry as a kid.

In real life, most black kids without fathers don’t have an uncle Phil to fall back on. Makes you think of the impact of kids growing up without a dad in America.
