Hoop Dreams. Realities of basketball for many.

Although I'm now sick of the commercial, I would really like to see the Julius Erving doc to be shown on NBA TV. I think those type of documentaries and shows are what will be needed on those league channels more often.

Hoop dreams is awesome. I can't imagine any other basketball documentary being better.

There was an old show that come on Fox Sports back when Eddy Curry and David Lee were in high school. It followed them and a couple of other players around. I think it was called Chicago Hoops or something like that but not sure. It wasn't really a documentary, and I don't even remember if it was any good or not.

Hoop Dreams is the obvious one. Not just the best basketball doc, but one of the best documentaries ever. One of the 10 best movies of the 90's.

The 30 for 30 on Ben Wilson is good. Not sure if the Fab Five one is up yet.

Gunnin' for that #1 Spot directed by Yauch (R.I.P.) used to be on Netflix. Made you hate Michael Beasley (even more).

The Year of Yao also used to be on Netflix. Would watch just for the introduction of Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley alone.

More than a Game. Not a LeBron fan, but a good watch. Needed more on the SVSM/Oak Hill match-up, though. Wasted some good Carmelo clips.

Space Jam was a docu, right?


The Pistol wasn't a docu, but I really loved it as a kid.

Hoop Dreams was quite the eye opener for me.

Glad I saw this. Saddened at what happened to that country.

I remember that. Sean Dockery, Will Bynum, and some kid named Kyle Kleckner (?sp) who ended up playing football at Illinois were others that were featured.

Yea, I remember liking it when it was on, but I was pretty young then...so it may have been a pretty crappy show.

I just looked it up. I think Preps Chicago Hoops was the name of the show.
