    I’ll add a vote for He Got Game. Great directing by Spike Lee, great acting by Denzel. The story is more about the relationship between a father and son with basketball as the background. It was edgy for it’s time with showing some of the shadier aspects of college recruiting and agents.

    This should've won an ESPY. Votes bigly rigged.

    It's not the best but for some reason I think semi-pro is hilarious.

    I can't remember if it was good... But Heaven is a Playground at least has Olajuwon in it for a few minutes. I think I'd probably go with some of the other films already mentioned for best, but might be something to watch from early 90s bball /Olajuwon. It had a few other pro players in it too.

    Reading reviews for first time now, and it's probably why I can't remember much of it.

    Hoosiers was the best, but Hustle, Coach Carter, Mighty Macs, Hurricane Season, Glory Road. And an old obscure movie called Inside Moves. Plus these two documentaries: Last Chance U and Rez Ball.

    right? Just a simple feel good movie. Sometimes I just have it on the the background all day.
