Have you ever seen the movie Glory Road? If you haven’t, I highly recommend it for any basketball fan — or fan of movies in general. It’s about the 1966 Texas Western Miners who were the first team with an all-black starting lineup to win an NCAA national championship. The film explores racism, discrimination and prejudice – very timely themes for the world we live in today. It’s also the movie that made me fall in love with the game of basketball.
To me, there’s hardly a better sound in the world than a swish as a basketball goes through a net.
