    Need Help finding a Basketball Movie!

    I saw a movie when I was a child. I have searched all over for it. I do not remember the title. One scene sticks in my mind. There is a man who jumps up, grabs a dollar from the top of a semi trailer and puts a 4 quarters back. This is all I can remember about it. Any one know what I am talking about?

    Was it the HBO movie Rebound: The Legend of Earl "The Goat" Manigault starring Don Cheadle?

        I was thinking that was it too.

          It may be. I remember the scene being at night though and I thought it was off a semi trailer. I may be wrong as this memory is from 18 years ago..... The Goat is the closest I have found though.

                    I think I for sure found your movie. I haven't watched the movie in so long but its Heaven is a Playground. They talk about it in the comments.

                        The "dollar on top of the backboard" thing has always interested me, though I am infinitely skeptical. If a high-rising 7-footer like Dwight Howard is only rumored to possibly being able to reach that height, I don't necessarily buy into the idea of the 6'1'' Manigault pulling it off. The leaving change portion with the opposite hand seems clearly fictional.

                        For those interested, here's high-riser James White attempting:

                        <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ElTzC2M34cY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

                        Due to the camera angle, it's going to look like James Whites' shoulders are above the rim, which isn't true. However, I think it's fair to say his head is very high up there, and he's a long-armed 6'7''. So again, for a lot of guys, it'd probably take a nearly chest-to-the-rim leap.

                              Aren't you glad to see that by asking on OS, all it had to take you was eleven minutes?

                              By the way, daflyboys started a thread specifically for things like this. It's probably about time we kick that bad boy off:
