Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
Not sure why but this triggered ANOTHER forgotten basketball movie.
"Eddie" with Whoopi Goldberg. She took over a whole NY Knicks franchise I believe.
And if yall really on top of things then you remember "Air Bud" and "Like Mike" with Lil Bow Wow. Dang this list keeps growing.
Although it's a documentary, perhaps outside the frame of this thread, Hoop Dreams is the best basketball movie I have ever seen.
I was prepared to not like it that much, having some faulty notion that these kids were basketball privileged and not worthy of my empathy.
The movie blew me away. I loved these kids and their families. The film was real and gritty and showed the tough life these kids and their families had in Chicago.
