Nachdem wir wohl noch eine Weile im Lockdown stecken werden und die meisten folglich auch noch ein ganzes Stück auf eine Rückkehr auf den Basketball Court warten müssen, habe ich Disney+, Netflix und Prime Video zusätzlich zu den Basketball Documentaries nun auch nach Filmen zu unserer Lieblingssportart durchforstet. Der Basketball-Entzug muss ja irgendwie kompensiert werden .

Und ich bin fündig geworden, wie die folgende Liste zeigt. Aktuell werden auf diesen Plattformen einige Classics aber auch neuere Filme angeboten. Nein, Like Mike steht aktuell leider nirgends zur Verfügung . Darüber hinaus aber ein paar weniger bekannte Movies und das ein oder andere Netflix Original. Wie immer gilt: Bei Interesse lieber früher als später schauen. Wie lang diese Titel angeboten werden, obliegt den jeweiligen Plattformen.
