- DirectorRandall FriedStarsLaTaunya BoundsTerry BradleyCylk CozartA coach and a lawyer team up to provide incentives for an urban high school basketball team to stay out of trouble.This Is a movie that probably has not been seen or heard enough.
It's a great movie that anyone who loves sports or basketball should see. It's like a melodrama. I found It to be powerful. - DirectorSteve RashStarsWhoopi GoldbergFrank LangellaDennis FarinaCoincidences lead to the New York Knicks, getting its loudest fan, Edwina "Eddie" Franklin, as coach. Season victory?I'm a big Whoopi Goldberg fan, and this Is a fun movie for me.
Has a few NBA stars in it as well, acting. - DirectorJoe PytkaStarsMichael JordanWayne KnightTheresa RandleIn a desperate attempt to win a basketball match and earn their freedom, the Looney Tunes seek the aid of retired basketball champion, Michael Jordan.Just so Darn fun. although It's obvious Michael can't act. But I did not care.
- DirectorFrank C. SchroederStarsMillie PerkinsNick BenedictAdam GuierBiography of pro basketball player "Pistol" Pete Maravich, who died suddenly in 1988 at age 40 from a heart attack.probably my favorite basketball movie of all time.
I'm a big fan of Pete Maravich, and I was not even born when he played. He has moves, and of course a lot, "A LOT" of turnovers.
I think he averaged 5 turnovers a game in his final season or the one before. - DirectorDavid AnspaughStarsGene HackmanBarbara HersheyDennis HopperA coach with a checkered past and a local drunk train a small-town high school basketball team to become a top contender for the state championship in 1950s Indiana.Don't worry, I love this one to. I felt the emotional pull of this movie when I first seen it. Uplifting stuff.
- DirectorTom DeCerchioStarsDamon WayansDaniel SternDan AykroydTwo over-loyal Celtic fans kidnap their opponent's star player in order to guarantee their team the championship.I know that this movie can be really dumb, but you know what? I don't care, I love this. Whether It's funny or not, I did laugh. I'm a fan of all three stars.
- DirectorStuart GillardStarsAlex D. LinzRichard T. JonesR.H. ThomsonAn African American college basketball star becomes the head coach of a yeshiva's struggling basketball team in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, after a knee injury forces him to leave the game. Based on the true story of Lamont Carr.It may be a disney channel movie, but I loved It anyway.
- DirectorDuwayne DunhamStarsPoppi MonroeAnnie McElwainTeal RedmannTwo sisters become world-famous basketball players.Same with this one.
- DirectorJeff PollackStarsDuane MartinTupac ShakurLeonStory of a promising high school basketball star and his relationships with two brothers, one a drug dealer and the other a former basketball star fallen on hard times and now employed as a security guard.I know this movie Is more about the people than basketball, but It's on this list to stay.
- DirectorSpike LeeStarsDenzel WashingtonMilla JovovichRay AllenA basketball player's father must try to convince him to go to a college so he can get a shorter sentence.A Spike Lee joint Yo! This Is a good movie. It's long though. But I found It to be worth It to Me.
I like Spike Lee a Hell of a lot better than Woody Allen, but Woody Is a delight In some things(acting), and he Is a great director.
But Spike Lee reigns supreme.
