White Men Can't Jump.
Not seen many, out of the few I have seen i'd put semi-pro.
I can't think of any decent movie....
Love and Basketball?
seriously that's the best I can think of
.....
WAIT..
SPACEJAM! duh
Hoop Dreams, Hoosiers, He Got Game, Blue Chips. That's it that's the list.
Finding Forrester is not really a basketball movie, but a very good movie.
I loved Space Jam.
I actually liked Love and Basketball too.
hoosiers though i would have to say hoop dreams is better although it is a do entary.
No Jesus Shuttlesworth?
I remember sneaking into White Men Can't Jump when I was a kid. It's still funny as today.
You forgot Glory Road...definitely a quality basketball flick.
Here's a good one: "That Championship Season"...the original, not the remake (though I wouldn't kick that out of bed). It's taken from the stage, and this motion picture did not fare well at the box office, but, it works really well on the "small screen." Robert Mitchum plays the coach, with Bruce Dern, Paul Sorvino, Martin Sheen and Stacey Keach playing the starting four for the one time Pennsylvania State Boy's Basketball Champions. The missing member is the center, who has forsaken Coach because of what he demanded he do during the game to ensure victory (elbow & hook the opposing black center). There is no basketaball action during this movie. At the end Mitchum puts on the 33 rpm record of the moments after the last timeout when they are trailing by one. Each actor is shows in turn as the record plays out as the championship is attained. They then gather for a group photo around the championship trophy with the cue to smile the word: "cunninglingus" (a reference to a joke in the movie)...then the the frame tracks ever so slowly over the trophy and a dramatic orchestral score is played over the trophy and then the credits.
It's quite a treat.
Coach Carter is a great movie, but as far as purely basketball without all the drama and , I'd have to go with White Men Can't Jump.

Love and basketball and he got game are my favorites... would high school musical count as one also??
White Men Cant Jumpe
Celtic Pride, Louis Scott is the coolest character in a basketball movie.
White Man Cant jump is my fav but I HAD to vote for "Eddie" just because it was so bad.
I voted for Spacejam only cause base-ketball wasn't on there.
Rebound: The Legend of Earl "The Goat" Manigault
celtic pride, dayman wayans as a jazzman?? love it.. plus if I rememnber the movie correctly, the jazz win the championship too !!!
