Best Basketball Film Starring an NBA Player?

[Robotech]

With Space Jam 2 coming, I thought this would be a fun poll.

He got game or Blue chips. Flip a coin


Never seen the Dr J movie


Another good one was Above the Rim

 

[cheerupcharlie]

The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh is a damn fine movie. I’m probably 1 of 10 people who actually own it.

White Men Cant Jump with Marques Johnson as Raymond. Not the main star but it counts.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Write in for Kyrie Uncle Drew

A timeless classic

 

[ThereIsNoPlace]

Space Jam

Blue Chips

Other: Uncut Gems

“The Goat”

Legend of Earl the Goat Manigult is another good one. NBA players were portrayed in that one and Kareem appears in a short video.

That doesn’t fit the criteria, but was a favorite basketball movie for me.

Sure as hell does, one of my fav movies ever.

Black guys would rather look good and lose. Hahaha.

I already had it as a choice. Go ahead and vote for it. I watched Uncle Drew last year. I was pleasantly surprised.

Shaq, Reggie and Weber are what did that for me.

Most people have never heard of it when I mention it.

I loved it when I was a kid. Would always look for it a video stores etc. My wife finally found one for me about 2 months ago. Set Shot... is the man!

 

[rsw626]

Not a basketball movie per se, but Forget Paris had Billy Crystal as an NBA ref and had Charles Barkley,David Robinson,Dan Majerle,Kevin Johnson,Paul Westphal,Sean Elliott,Patrick Ewing,Tim Hardaway,Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,Bill Laimbeer,Reggie Miller,Chris Mullin,Charles Oakley,Kurt Rambis,John Starks,Isiah Thomas,Spud Webb,Marques Johnson all in it.

I had never heard of it before until sometime in the early 2000's when I saw it on ESPN Classic. Mostly I remember the super long scene of Dr. J dunking at a playground court.

I realize that Double Team with Dennis Rodman doesn't qualify. What was I thinking? LOL. Just wanted Rodman to be in the poll so badly, I guess. Well, it's not like anyone's going to vote for that film anyway.
