If you are the kind of NBA fans who love the sofa more than the court, we have compiled this handy list of the top three NBA movies of all time for you to enjoy watching these inside at the same time wearing the jersey of your favorite team.
Love and Basketball
Love and Basketball is so successful in showing us that we can nurture deep and close relationships with people who share the commonality of shared love. It tells the beautiful story of a couple who shoot for their dreams at the same time striving for excellence. It is a romantic emphasizing on how shared passions and experience can conquer everything in the end. It also deeply represents how hard a college basketball player’s life can be.
He Got Game
Spike Lee is one of our favorites, and He Got Game is one of his most famous movies. He Got Game tells the story centering around Jesus Shuttlesworth (played by Ray Allen), an in-demand high school basketball prospect, and his father Jake (played by Denzel Washington), serving jail time, is provided one week to convince his son to attend the alma mater of the governor of the state in exchange for a shortened prison sentence.
We won’t spoil the ending, but He Got Game is a great option for anyone who understands that basketball is all about sport, community, and family as well.
Hoop Dreams
Hoop Dreams is an incredible documentary foregrounding two South Side Chicago teenagers. Whatever the cost is, William Gates and Arthur Agee are going to work to make it big in basketball.
Hoop Dreams follows the human side of the two boys chasing the basketball dream. Both two of them have to face a lot of struggles along the way: serious injuries, family addictions, family deaths, and poor grades. Despite any difficulty, they work hard to reach their goals both on and off the court.
