March Madness is in full swing and the NBA season is headed toward playoff time. That’s set us thinking of all the tremendous scripted television series which heavily feature basketball.
With shows such as HBO‘s acclaimed miniseries Winning Time garnering critical acclaim and Disney‘s The Crossover approaching its series premiere, we decided to look back at the shows that paved the way.
Although there are many shows about basketball, there will be some options that don’t primarily focus on it. These include the likes of Martin, My Wife and Kids, and even The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And while they have their place, documentaries and reality shows won’t be counted in this ranking.
