Best baseball movie thread got me thinkin… what is the best basketball movie?
- Thread starter Oler Ted
- Start date
Hoosiers is a classic, but it's kind of slow too. Personally, I'd put White Men Can't Jump at the top because I'd rather it watch it than Hoosiers if I was flipping through the channels and came across it.
Does Baseketball count?
Forgot about semi-pro. Definitely semi-pro.
This was my very first thought. Although I haven’t seen Hoosiers or He Got Game in a long time. May need to watch again.
Popped in to vote Fish that Saved Pittsburgh, too.
I always liked WMCJ but I embrace all cultures. Great flick
The one w Shaq as a pd player was good. I think Nick Nokye was the coach right?
Edit lmfao lol hahahahahahaha
Never heard of it. I've seen the pic. I'm 49. Should I watch it?
He got game totally forgot about that. Fuck I'm old
I haven't watched it since 1995 but I always liked Shaq. We are the same age. Hung out on the court at USC when LSU came to play. Got my dad to snake me some tickets for me and my buddy. I knew everybody on or around the floor. We get on the court pregame. At 19 Shaq was a giant. I can only imagine seeing him now and filled out.
We didn't shake hands w him but he saw me and Miked eyeballing his skills. He is such a good dude. Like Tebow before Tebow
It's pretty bad, but when I was a kid and Dr. J was the Jordan of that era, it was awesome.
So you are 60?
See i liked space jam but never thought it great. You think TruthSocial.com will get a copy of it?
Surprised no one had said Air Bud 2 yet
I know it. Never watched. I was full on oussy drugs school when that corniedog basketball shit came out.
Should I watch it?
I'll give it a go w a 1980 attitude
54. It's a low budget Space Jam with Dr. J dunking a lot from what I can remember.
Don't think you needed to specify the first. Nobody watched the Lebron movie & surely nobody considers it for the greatest basketball movie of all time.
Hard to say the goat basketball movie. Nostalgia makes me say Hoosiers, but I love and could argue White Men Can't Jump or Blue Chips just as easily. Very tough to decide between the three...very different movies, all excellent.
Have you not seen semi-pro?
Love Semi Pro. Might should have included that one too. Damn, alot more great basketball than baseball movies.
Escape From LA.
One of the best.
