I was skeptical at best when I decided to throw down my info and order this video. I love the site but am much more used to seeing professional and college highlights. However I decided to take the chance and was totally rewarded with this great video. Anyone who loves basketball needs to own this. The highlights are unreal, the music is slamming and it captures the unique urban flavor of the site. The Steve Francis segment has to be seen twice to be believed, and although I wish they had more Rafer Alston "Skip to My Lou" Rucker highlites in their "ode", its just a great watch. I got mine last week and have watched it through 4 times already with a variety of my friends/teammates. I cannot wait for Volume Two. Now stop reading the reviews and just buy the thing, already! You won't be disappointed.

This is an amazing video showing incerdible play after play! Man, I did'nt think people played ball like this, I find myself rewinding the video show much asking myself, "HOW DID HE DO THAT"

Please, if your a fan of basketball at all you owe it to yourself to buy this video.

This is a real "dark horse" video. I purchased it on a whim and now watch it over and over. The Steve Francis segment should be in Springfield Mass. at the Basketball Hall of Fame. This is right up there with two other great sports videos bought on Amazon, "48 Championship Basketball Drills" and "The 59 Minute Baseball Practice". Being a basketball & baseball coach it was a pleasure to watch a video and not have to jot down notes. Just enjoy and keep your remote handy with the rewind button ready to go.

This was the best tape that I have seen in a long, long time!! Everyone should go get this to see the FANTASTIC stuff on it!! A Must see!!

if you like playground basketball and you worship playground ledgens like rafer skiptomylou alston you will love this video have u seen the and1 mix tapes if not try and see them cause they are phat too i own the first and second ones they are awesome buy this video it will change the way u look at basketball it has got amazin dunks ill passes and unbelievable handle from some of the best players you have never heard of pick up this tape

The playground highlights are ridiculous. STEVE FRANCIS & ALLEN IVERSON both are shown breaking people down in this thing. The show Francis in a pickup game purposely bounce the ball off his defender's head, then take him to the hole, off his head. The dunks and handles you see on this tape is ridiculous. They show a kid throw the ball off the glass and catch one on a guy's head...in a game.

I got a bunch of gift certificates for christmas, and I stumbled upon this DVD gem...

The Steve Francis part is sick. I must have watched it 37 times. The music is perfect and Steve goes unconscious for about 27 points, including several explosive dunks over multi defenders, bouncing the ball off a defender's head, perfect form jumpshots, behind the back dribbling infront of defender. I'm not sure when this clip was taken but it was in a Pro City leage game. The clip is great, and steve is one of the best fundamental, unconsciously ballin' players of our time. I cannot watch this clip over enough times.

The James White dunk section is also pretty good.

A funny section on how to play pickup ball for a white dude. This part was pretty funny, and white people should find it helpful. They are rules you should know by now, but if you don't there they are.

The great white lie part was kinda lame. I was disappointed in this section. I couldnt tell if they were goofin' on them or if they really thought those were some tight moves. A few were tight, but some were very lame.

Everyone criticizing this video because it doesnt have rafer alston is dumb. THere is a section on him but it was pretty much a done in a sad light, since in reality it is pretty sad, and rafer has gotten too much hype already and not lived up to it. Sure he was a great ball handler, but there is more to basketball than that. This video is centered around outrageous dunkers, playmakers, and players who Ball Above All. Competitors. Scorers. Atheletes.

Not some goofy little and-1-mix tape.

oh my god i want my money back......... i used to go on hoopstv.com all the time.. it was the dopest basketball site on the net.. and they started hypein there video sayin oh this is the greatest video ever blah, blah, blah... guess what i bought into the hype and but this peice of crap..... it is lame as hell..... half the video is celebrities sayin "your watchin ball above all"... i know Coolio I bought the damn video.... there are two good parts in the film..... a small segment on the greatest Rafe"skip to my lou" and there where no highlights of his magic but it was still cool that they was givin him love.... the second good part is at the end with 'Future' gettin buck wild on the court after he ripped apart the D and thats what i was expectin from the whole video.... anyways the whole video was a bunch of highscool dunk highlights and other stupid stuff and i repeat do not by this video..... go out and buy the And 1 Mix tapes or something else instead....

Excellent mix of hip-hop culture with streetball flavor. Contains ill dunks and ankle breaking crossovers that makes you want to hit the rewind button numerous times. A great video to add to the basketball collection.

Ball Above All is a must have for any major hoop fan. It is filled with crazy moves and dunks which originated on the playgrounds. You will be rewinding the tape over and over watching the crazy moves, dunks, and alley-oops. Hoopstv.com really knows their hoops, they put out a great video.If you love streetball style basketball this video is a must have.
