When Shaq and Kobe go off to play in the NBA, they become poster boys for drugs and partying, along with several other celebrities. The movie “RIKING MAN” chronicles their rise to infamy as two teenage basketball stars who get swept away by a drug culture that takes them on a wild ride that puts them into the center of international intrigue. The movie “Catch Me If You Can” sees the young Michael Douglas plays a young man on the rise, where he discovers the pleasures and perils of drug addiction, partying and the life that can give you a drug addiction and then some. Both of these films are very thought provoking and quite entertaining if you enjoy seeing famous actors such as Jason Statham and Morgan Freeman in action.

The most famous basketball movie of all time, “ER POPPIE” sees a young basketball star rise to fame as an acclaimed professional basketball player. It shows the young boy playing against the best in the country, whilst achieving a remarkable physique and skills that are praised and adored by his coach. Watching the film again will highlight how easy it is for the young Michael Douglas to rise to the occasion as one of the greatest players of his time and even achieve the goals that he does set out for himself in the film. The basketball world may not be as glamorous as Hollywood and the rich and famous, but the game of basketball can offer you just as much fun if you take it seriously enough and work hard on your skills. These basketball movies are some of the finest to come out in recent years, and I am sure that you will love them.
