White Men Can't Jump "involves basketball, comedy, and Rosie Perez."
Rosie Perez was a detriment to this film.
She is the only movie character in the history of movies to be more annoying than Jar Jar Binks.
And the topless scene? Ugh. Cover that X@@##! up.

HAha. LOVE it. Great movies for this time of year. Now, we are going to have to rent some of those again. Maybe the honeys can enjoy basketball as much as the guys, now.

Most white dudes can't jump. These films are all good.

There several that should be on this list if they are not on this list. The movies IMO should be on this list are: 1) Above The Rim; 2) White Men Can't Jump; and 3)That Championship Season{1982}; 4) the Air Up There; 5)Hoop Dreams; 6)Glory Road; 7)One On One; and 8) The Basketball Diaries. I, also, want to add one more baskeball movie as an honorable mention "Finding Forrester." Go Villanova!

I remember watching He Got Game a long time ago, it was a pretty touching movie. I agree with the Finding Forrester thing, I love that movie. I can't relate to it too much but I liked the message

Love and Basketball was an awesome movie. It's definitely the best basketball movie of all time.
