Basketball movies typically feature costumes like basketball jerseys made of woven polyester for actor comfort, along with team names printed on them. Basketball shoes are also prominently featured, as they provide ankle support and thick heels to withstand the jumping involved in playing the sport. While authentic basketball shoes may be expensive for a movie budget, normal sneakers could potentially be used instead.

2. Basketball jerseys and shorts are
predominant costume choices in big
basketball movies.
Specific jersey types may include the
use of the woven polyester which we
would want for levels of comfort for
the actors, and preferably the
basketball team name printed on it.
Costume choices may also include
comfortable clothing. In this
example of ‘Rebound’, the actor is
wearing a sweatshirt with a
standard cotton top. This may be
because basketball is a tiring sport
and comfort is crucial for attaining
hard work as well as determination
in the sport.

3. Shoes/Trainers specifically for
basketball include ankle
support, and the bottom of the
heels are very thick for to
support the consistent jumping
which comes in playing
basketball. Particular trainers
like this are predominant
costume choices in big
basketball movies, for example
in ‘The White Shadow’.
This may also bring budget
expenses, however we may
consider using normal trainers
as we all have a pair,
assumingly.
