The best basketball movie o all time?


Despite some flaws, this is probably the best basketball movie of all time.

One of the best comedies of all time, never mind basketball.

Blue Chips is sorely underrated.

If you haven't seen it yet and based on this post I'm guessing you haven't. The best Basketball movie by far was "Hoop Dreams". It's a documentary of 2 kids we follow their lives dream of playing in the NBA. When we first meet the kids they are in 8th grade and by movies end we have seen their lives and basketball careers end when they get out of Highschool. Will they get scholarships will they make the NBA? Their are funny part's and others had me tearing up. Great movie and great stories. I still have a copy on VHS.

Hoosiers for sure!

Rebound: The Legend Of Earl 'The Goat' Manigault was really good too.

That Robby Benson film 'One On One' was pretty good too.

I haven't seen some of the others that have been mentioned in here like Hoop Dreams and Blue Chips. I'll have to check them out.
