10 worst basketball scenes in movies

#4 Escape from LA (1996)

Basketball to the Death featuring Cuervo (Georges Corraface) and Snake (Kurt Russell) was just bad. Snake’s patch over one of his eyes made the scene even more incredulous. Both would have been dead had they been forced in real life to play the game with deadly stakes.

Michael Jordan, though, might not have wanted any part of these two nasty characters.

#3 Catwoman (2004)

Halle Berry’s Catwoman and Benjamin Bratt’s Tom Lone met in the park for a pickup game. The feline hero or villain put on the moves that included a backflip off a wall. It was a scene that might have been unnecessary.

Berry is a delight to see on the big screen, just not as Catwoman playing basketball.

#2 Cable Guy (1996)

Jim Carrey’s Cable Guy playing basketball is considered by many to be one of the worst basketball scenes. Carrey’s usual exaggerated comedy didn’t fit well in this scene.

The movie had several hilarious sequences, just not when the characters tried to play hoops.

#1 The Super (1991)

The legendary Joe Pesci plays Louie Kritski in the movie. In one sequence in the film, he was on the playground playing basketball.

The entire scene left much to be desired. There was an element of lightheartedness to it but Pesci’s uncoordinated moves, including a dunk as the smallest guy on the court, might have been overdoing it.

Atlanta Hawks legend Spud Webb had nothing compared to that slam.
