I would say it is the best film about basketball and college sports in general ever.
Also it features brief but glorious nudity of 2 of the sexiest women who have ever lived (Milla Jovovich and Rosario Dawson)
Great performance by Denzel as well. Great Spike Lee film.

Its on my list.

I thought it was pretty good but not top 20 overall for sports. My main issue was Ray Allen. His acting was terrible. Yea I know he isnt an actor but for the type of kid he was playing I thought at the time Allen Iverson was fit for that role. Especially for where he came from and his personality, I think he wouldve did a better job and it wouldve been more natural and believable. Other than that it was pretty good. My fav basketball film is White Men Can't Jump and I would take that over he Got Game any day. I know one is comedy and one is drama but White Men Can't Jump was an instant classic to me. As for college sports films I would say The Program is the best overall and it felt so real with real depiction of what was goin on in college sports. Got Em!!

thanks!

As long as its a documentary in the form of a movie which I believe Hoop Dreams is. I mean there are those documentaries that come on tv and are super long. I wont count those but a feature film documentary like Hoop Dreams would work. Got Em!!
