    jamma34, probably would've been a good idea to read the box before renting.

    I'll go ahead and name one that hasn't been mentioned-Love & Basketball.

    "HE GOT GAME"-a Spike Lee joint.


    Ray Allen as Jesus Shuttlesworth- not a bad acting debut.

    Cameos from all over- rick fox, charles barkley, bunch of college coaches.

    I liked Hoosiers and White Men Can't Jump. I'll try Hoop Dreams sometime when I'm at Blockbuster, now... thanks.

    It seems strange that there are so many better baseball movies than basketball ones...

    "It seemed tough, but with guidance from Steve Francis, I learned my true destiny. That destiny is to play for the Houston Rockets, to bring them back to championship glory. One big man is all they need, and I believe I can fill that void. Thanks to the loyal fans in Sacramento, but Houston, Texas is where I belong."

    I don't know if I'll ever be able to watch Eddie again, Malik Sealy was in it.

    Aw, damn, I loved that movie.

    Before Malik Sealy died. THAT was one of the saddest days of my life.

    I also believe Walt was in that movie when he played for Sacramento. He was jabbing with a Knick at the freethrow line. The subject of black holes came up and the Wiz was like, "Black ho???"

    lol [​IMG]

    Quite a few players made cameo appearances in Eddie. I thought it was a really funny movie.

    I forgot Malik was in Eddie. He was not with the Timberwolves at the time the movie came out though.

    Whenever there is a Timberwolves themed basketball movie, that will be my favorite basketball movie.

    Malik Sealy was a great guy.

    It was the saddest news when I heard he had passed on.

    As well as Bobby Phills.

    Both were stand-up guys who played their hearts out.

    Hoop Dreams was a great movie.

    I love Willy Gate's game.

    I wish i could check up on Agee and Gates.

    Anyone heard anything about them?
