The movie Secretariat is just okay. It's not great, but it's not terrible either.

Glory Road

In 1966, Texas Western coach Don Haskins led the first all-black starting line-up for a college basketball team to the NCAA national championship.

The movie Glory Road is based on the true story of Don Haskins, who in 1966 became the first African American head coach of a major college basketball team, at Texas Western. The team's roster was made up entirely of black players, many of whom had been passed over by other colleges because of their race. The movie is inspiring and shows how one man's determination can make a difference. It also highlights the racism that black players faced at the time. Overall, I would say that it is a good movie and worth watching.

Coach Carter

Based on a true story, in which Richmond High School head basketball coach Ken Carter made headlines in 1999 for benching his undefeated team due to poor academic results.

I absolutely loved the movie Coach Carter! It was an inspirational story about a high school basketball coach who creates a winning season for his team, despite the fact that they are from a poor neighborhood and have very little resources.

Joana Trejo
The Basketball Diaries is a great movie that tells the story of a young man named Jim Carroll who turns to drugs and crime after his promising basketball career is cut short. The film follows Jim as he falls deeper into addiction and desperation, and ultimately tries to turn his life around. Leonardo DiCaprio gives an excellent performance as Jim Carroll, and the film also features a great supporting cast including Mark Wahlberg, Bruno Kirby, and James Madio. The Basketball Diaries is a powerful film that is sure to stay with you long after you've seen it.
