A gallery of the best black sports movies of all time

He Got Game (1998)

One of many great sports movies that the great Denzel Washington has starred in, this Spike Lee joint is a a fan favorite amongst the urban community. Despite a luckluster acting job by NBA Champion, Boston Celtic, Ray Allen, this film was undoubtedly awesome if for no other reason than Ray’s character’s EPIC name “Jesus Shuttlesworth”.

Not “Hay-soos” mind you, but “Jesus”.
