No Space Jam? I must have watched that over 50 times as a kid.

Definitely Love and Basketball now though.

My favorite basketball movie is He Got Game, but I will give an honorable mention to Semi-Pro.

Fever Bounce

Its about the Pacers who hadn't won a Championship in over 90 years, yet they finally pull it together through a magical season with a comeback in the Eastern Conference Championship against the Pistons - we were down 0-3, but rallied around Reggie Miller III, who hit the game winning 3 pointer with 0 seconds left in game 7. We then swept the Lakers in the finals.

Its set to release in 2060.

I only saw Love and Basketball yesterday and really enjoyed it.

I would have to say that at the moment it is on top of my list, followed closely by Coach Carter.

I am yet to see Hoosiers through.
Does anyone else know any other basketball movies (not in the list) which they would suggest?

You can exclude Semi pro, Space Jam, I am talking about solid basketball dramas/real life stories

Hoosiers. Jimmy Chitwood is still the best basketball player I have ever seen. :wink:

Fish That Saved Pittsburgh is fun too.

Ouch, that would mean I probably wont see a Pacer championship in my lifetime. :oops:

Gotta go with Hoosiers as well. Man that Chitwood could shoot!

that one with Leonardo Dicaprio. Does that count as a basketball movie, or a heroin movie

how about rebound? not the martin lawrence one but the one on the life of earl manigault, very good film. my vote personally goes for above the rim though

Finding Forrester was a good basketball movie and who could forget The Air Up There. Eddie with Whoopy Goldberg, Celtic Pride was awesome. Could Teen Wolf be considered a basketball movie, Allen Iverson said it was his favorite basketball movie.

What about that old Wayne's movie? What was the name of that? About the dead brother?

How is Hoop Dreams not an option?

Still, my vote went to Hoosiers. I always heard stories from the old timers in Muncie about the old Bearcat teams from Muncie Central, the real team that got beat in the championship. The real story was definitely different, but many things about small town basketball were definitely true.

I really liked Hoosiers but I had to go with Coach Carter as my fave. It was close.
