Go watch it. You’ll thank me later. Have you seen Glory Road? Who was your favorite player from the 1966 Miners? Drop a comment below—and if you haven’t seen it yet, what are you waiting for?
Released in 2006 and directed by James Gartner, Glory Road tells the true story of the 1966 Texas Western College Miners. It’s a film that has aged like fine wine, and if you haven’t watched it yet (or it’s been a while), here is why you should queue it up tonight. Before you hit play, understand the weight of the narrative. In the 1960s, college basketball was a segregated world. Most top-tier teams in the South fielded only white players. The unwritten rule was that you could have maybe one or two Black players on the roster, but they certainly wouldn’t be your stars. nonton glory road
★★★★½ (4.5/5) Best paired with: Popcorn, a cold drink, and a basketball to bounce during the timeouts. Warning: You will want to run through a brick wall after watching the final game. Or at least go shoot hoops in the driveway. Go watch it
