The Best Basketball Movie

My choice is... Above The Rim. Is was close, but I had to pick it.

I had an easier time with this one. Hoosiers FTW.

Yeah, while making this list I realized there really aren't a lot of great basketball movies, in my opinion anyway.

Well obviously you left off the single greatest basketball movie ever. I speak, of course, of the movie The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh. I can only assume you did that because by including it you knew that no other movie would get any votes... :ph34r:

Of course. I had to give the other movies a chance.

Hoosiers. It's the only one I can remember liking.

So that's why Space Jam is on there.

Glad to see the thread creator made the decision easy by putting the clear winner at the top so I didn't have to scan through all the other movies to find it.

I voted Hoosiers but Coach Carter was excellent too.

I'm having a hard time inserting images right now but the movie One on One starring Robbie Benson was actully a very good movie.

Yep, I had forgotten about that one. But I remember going to the theater to watch it. I think the HC in that movie was also the HC in the movie North Dallas 40. Everybody would know the dude's face. He almost always plays some sort of corrupt or semi-corrupt authority figure in most of his movie roles.

White Men Can't Jump and its not even close. Hoosiers is overrated.
