Note that while there were lots of baseball movies in the 1910s and 1920s (and there had been a few football movies in the 1920s as well), it took until 1927 before basketball gained enough of a following to where they made a movie about it, and two were released, just one week apart! One was called "High School Hero", followed by this movie (and then the next true basketball movies we know of were just a few in the very late 1930s, and then not again until the late 1940s).
