Air Bud
Court-playing golden retriever
Air Bud is a 1997 family film about a golden retriever who plays basketball, spawning a franchise of sequels featuring dogs playing various sports.
The title plays on "air" as in hang time or aerial ability—famously associated with Michael Jordan's "Air Jordan" nickname—combined with the dog's name, Bud.
The films are remembered for the dubious legal argument that "there's no rule that says a dog can't play basketball."
