As we all know by now, the coronavirus pandemic is real and its effects are far-reaching. The NBA season has been suspended, March Madness has been canceled, and many state high school tournaments were brought to an abrupt end. These were necessary measures to stem the spread. Staying home can save lives.
Public health officials are urgently advising everyone to hunker down and practice social distancing, which means a lot of downtime with no live basketball to watch. We got you covered…
SLAM brings you an exhaustive list of every basketball movie and documentary we can think of—along with where you can watch it—to fill the void.
Enjoy, fam:
Note: We’ll be watching some of these with you via social media soon. Get hype for SLAM movie nights…
