Not so much a movie but more a highlights film...."Jam Session". It's about 12-13 years old but I still watch it today, awesome.

"Jam Session" nice. Yeh I got that on VHS along with "NBA Superstars 2", "Supwe Slams of the NBA" and "Awesome Endings".
All brilliant old NBA highlights.

Jam Session is the best highlights video of all-time. During the credits it shows Kevin Brooks doing a wrap around the back, the dunk move through the lane playing for the Nuggets

re: Basketball movies (#31490)
Rebound, i think it was called. A documentary about Earl 'the goat' Manigaut. He was a street baller, who had amazing hops, he was that-guy-who-grabbed-the-note-off-the-top-of-the-backboard. got messed up on drugs etc, might even be a true story.

Heaven is a playground is a great movie.
Stars Bo Kimble who was a awesome college player, but wasn't all the successful in the NBA due to numerous knee injuries. One of the first movies to actually use a NBA player as a main character in a movie.

well i've got a copy on VHS. Haven't seen it on DVD, so you'd have to try a place like Alpha in Magill or there's a VHS warehouse in the city (not sure on the name of it).

Above the rim- Tupac in his best movie!
He doesn't suit up to play but is a great crooked player agent/coach

I cant believe that no one has mentioned "blue chips" shaq, penny, larry bird, bob cousy, nick nolte as the struggling coach with alumni problems and buying college players...AWESOME!!!
Not sure if its still around, but Pistol Pete, was a good one not sure if it will be on dvd, but definately VHS
Re: Rebound.
