Big-time basketball movies

March Madness is over and Duke is once again the reigning college basketball champ. The North Carolina team beat out Butler in its home state of Indiana.

(Though if reality is your thing, there’s always the magnificent documentary “Hoop Dreams.”) Here are some of basketball’s biggest big screen ventures.  (Charlie Neibergall / Associated Press)
