This weekend I happened to come across a good basketball documentary on ESPN Classic that was part of ESPN's Sports Tribeca Film Festival http://proxy.espn.go.com/espn/page2/features/tribeca

This movie, "Through the Fire", http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457502/, chronicles Sebastian Telfair's high school career and recruiting of the high school and playground legend from Brooklyn.  It is a great look into what happens in big time recruiting wars. 

My favorite basketball documentary is "Hoop Dreams". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110057/  This follows 2 potential players as they grow up in Chicago and all the way through high school and into college.  

Add to that list "Coach Carter", "Glory Road", and "The Heart of the Game".  Check out this complete list.  http://www.sandlotshrink.com/moviebkb.htm 

Of course, the classic, based on a true story, is "Hoosiers", but you knew that from my favorite line, "Don't get caught watching the paint dry!"
