Basketball Movies

[ecthelion]

This summer I really didn't have much to do, so apart from ball, i used to download every basketball movie i could find.
so here's the verdict :
pretty much the only movies that I would recommend to anyone would be :
- White Men Can't Jump (hilarious, good acting and nice storyline AND decent ball -- wesley snipes rocks, best basketball move ever)
- Coach Carter (good story, good acting, good ball, twisted ending)
- Glory Road (good acting, good story, but predictable ending)

Every other movie I saw SUCKED.
This includes :
- Love and Basketball (lousy movie, such a predictable crappy Spike Lee movie)
- He Got Game (everyone ends up having sex due to unknown reasons, another lousy Spike Lee movie. What's with all his movies having a one on one game at the end? Disappointment)
- Above The Rim (Lousy acting, undecipherable story, it's only nice watchin 2pac act)
- Crossover (judging from the reviews i've heard, i don't even want to see it)
- Space Jam (can't really say this sucked, bit kiddish, not so bad, but michael just CAN'T act)

That's all. I saw 8 Mile as well, which I feel is an amazing movie..

Dude,Space Jam sucked?! Michael can't act? lol Shut up...
And you say Crossover sucks,but you haven't even seen it?! btw. You didn't watch the "Like Mike" series...WTF dude?!!

Like Mike 2 was worse than Like Mike one, in my opinion. I mean, that is whack shit. He can hit half-court shots without even trying.

Space Jam was cool though. Even if Mike can't really act.
