Hossiers.

Hossiers, follows the true life story of a small town Indiana based high school wich works its way to becoming improbable state champions. They achieve this by learning to play as a team, as taught by a new coach who has a past and obstacles of his own to overcome. There's lots of emotional intensity here, of the "who will win?" variety. The movie also deals with alcoholism but features the redemption of two adult leads. Strong positive messages include not judging a book by its cover, giving second chances, and the importance of hard work, discipline, and teamwork.

He got game

Telling the story of Jesus Shuttlesworth (Ray Allen) and his strict father, Jake (Denzel Washington), the film follows Jesus—the No. 1 high school prospect in the nation—as he tries to decide where to play big-time basketball without anyone reliable to guide him through the process. He Got Game isn't afraid to tread into the shadier territories of recruiting, father-son relationships, and the importance of athletics in America. He Got Game isn't just about basketball, it's about life.

White men can't jump

Billy Hoyle and Sidney Dean let America get a glimpse of real street basketball. The film tells the tale of two street hustlers just trying to get by playing the game they love. They play pick-up games for money in order to survive. These guys can actually play too. Every game is entertaining and some will even have you on the edge of your seat as if it were a close NBA game.

Coach Carter.

Coach Carter is the classic tale of using sports in order to ignore life's darker realities. But, more importantly, it's also a story about how sports can be used to educate, and how academic integrity and discipline should never be sacrificed for the sake of a few wins. Leading a rag-tag group of players, Jackson's role focuses more on a coach's responsibility to mold men then to simply teach X's and O's.
