Basketball Movie Fantasy Draft

Well boys and girls, after a long hiatus I have returned with a new and promising amount of blog entries. For my first task, I shall assemble the "Dream Team" of basketball movie characters. I will go by position so that my team will be able to accurately and solidly dominate all opponenets.

Center: Neon Bodeaux- Blue Chips: This center works hard around the inside. He moves extremely well and reminds me of a more athletic Shaquille O'Neal. Having been coached for only one year (under Coach Pete Bell), he is extremely raw. But his upside is unlike any other player. Perhaps even most importantly he is a character guy. He never asked for anything, yet was given a Lexus. True, he didn't return it, but he still never asked for it. He will be the franchise player for years to come.

Power Forward: Saleh- The Air Up There: He is a little tall for Power Forward but he is extremely versatile and mobile so he will fit in nicely with Neon. His footwork will improve drastically because he will no longer be running on dirt courts with sandals. After Coach Jimmy Dolan gave him sneakers he was an entirely different player. Also, the Shake 'N' Bake, will be a useful tool in competition. This forward is a cross between Dikembe Mutombo and Kevin Bacon, and you can't beat that combination.

Small Forward: Michael Jordan- Space Jam: We all know that His Airness is an elite NBA Legend. But after he discovers his powers in space jam world he transforms into the greatest of any universe. His ability to stretch his arms the length of the court will transform the game and Jordan will score 100 points, not in one game, but in 2 minutes.

Shooting Guard: Scott "Teen Wolf" Howard: He is the most versatile player in movie history. He plays smothering defense, dunks with his head 3 feet above the room, and can dribble like a Harlem Globetrotter. Yet, he never sweats even with all that hair. His only downside is selfishness, therefore he could be a serious problem if he plays the Point Guard position.

Point Guard: Rumeal Smith- Eddie- Gary Payton's character in Eddie is the wise streetballer who, by his own admission, took Michigan to the Final Four. He has a wonderful float shot and can hit the jumper. And by Stacy Patton's endorsement "he pushed Stacy Patton". He is the perfect guard to compliment this star studded team.

Coach: Coach Eddie- Eddie- If she can turn the Knicks around, then she can do the impossible.
