BASKETBALL!!!

Interesting question on x the other day Mac from creepy dot org and they said, what scene from a horror movie still haunts you to this day? Huh, that's a good question. There's been like three or four over the years. I wouldn't say any currently I'm creeped out by, but over the years when I was a kid, I definitely watched The Exorcist and Friday the Thirteenth way too early, and I had nightmares about the Exorcist and also the mother

of Jason's mother from missus vorh he's Pamela Voar. He's scared the shit out of me from Friday the Thirteenth. Also, I had a recurring nightmare for like three years when I was a kid watching episode of The X Files, which doesn't really fall under this, but it's sort of the same idea in my adult life. When I saw The Strangers in the summer of two thousand and eight, we went back to my buddy's parents' house in New Hampshire in

the Lakes Region, which was the whole first floor. The back part that faced the lake was all glass. And I don't know if you've seen The Strangers, people like creeping on you in like a regular home when I get a little creeped out when people can see in and you can't see out. I don't like that because then like you can't maneuver. They they see every everything that you're doing. So that's that's probably the most recent example. What about you, I would say for me, and this just goes back to

one simple answer. I always go back to this. And this is at the age of roughly thirteen fourteen in the movie Signs at the Brazilian birthday party, the home video of just a normal birthday party. Out of nowhere, this alien saunters out of the bushes. Yeah, he does a little sasquatch walk by the alley and keeps going. And it's an incredible jump scare in a movie that was very good and creepy as it was that that was so unexpected in that movie. That all time great jump scare. And you know

what, I love to thinking back. So I think Signs was, yeah, two thousand and one or two thousand and two. Yeah, they had to frame it as a birthday party, so they would have the cam quarter, which you wouldn't need to do now because the cell phones, right,

and it's just it's the simplicity of the home footage. It's kind of grainy, so it can look a little bit off and just as soon as that thing pops out, because I do believe in aliens, but still, the thought of aliens, if I ever see one, I'm gonna shit my pants. Yeah, you and I you and I, well, what do you? What are you gonna do if an alien shows up? You can't do anything. You might as well just stay relaxed. I'm gonna surrender, die. You're gonna do what you want to me. I agree with you,

like we are not ghost boys, but I like aliens definitely exist. You know, if you believe in ghosts, fine whatever. If you don't believe in aliens, you're moron one. Good three, Yeah, job three, King of Queen mal Street Entertainment, dime do and I'm man. And today's topic is a big old basketball. Yeah. Goo's been really inspired by the month of March and March madness. Here he got all jazzed up and said, hey, let's talk about the best fictional basketball scenes and movies. And

I said, okay, let's talk about the old round ball. Putting it on the floor. Getting called up for a tea now and then oh, put it up before the buzzer goes off. For whatever reason. The last month, all of your SOUD effects I hear it like ten percent in my head. So okay, well listen to it back live. It comes through full, but not to bring you into what we're doing right now. But there's a new board here. I'm at work and this is not doing a

good job at giving you sound. I don't know what's happening. I gotta figure it out. That's on me. It really doesn't matter. Yeah, yeah, I for a little background here, good and I played hockey our whole lives, with which crossed over with basketball season. So I never played organized basketball until college GOO, when I played intramurals and then I played in the men's league. I was like, maybe twenty three, twenty four, I am not good at basketball. But based on like two times I've seen

you take a jump shot, you are fucking horrific at basketball. I am so bad at basketball. We were at a kid's birthday party at the Boys and Girls Club two weeks ago. I picked up a ball, I shot it, and then I said, oh, yeah, I'm really bad at this. Don't look at me. Kids, don't look at I just imagine you having like a Sean Marion like hip shot type of No, I'll tell you exactly what it is, because we have one of those scenes coming up. It's a lot like one of the scenes coming up. Yeah, I

became a big basketball fan when the Celtics Scott Good with Kevin Garnett. In reality, yeah, I always was like fond of basketball, but never really played it, And then for whatever reason, I probably now watch more basketball than any other sport. Is it because basketball is the best to bet on, or it's the funnest to bet on because there's so many points going back

and forth. Part of me thinks it's because it's a little bit of like making up for lost time because I didn't watch a ton of basketball like when I was grown up, for example, or when we were growing up. The Celtics were terrible, Paul Pierce was good. So I love mart Blount,

I love Christian McGrady was my favorite player forever. Not to get too far into sports here, although this is a basketball episode, but the other day, when Sam Houser almost set the record for most three pointers by a Celtic in a game, I went through and looked at the top twenty three pointer games of all time. Antoine Walker hit nine threes twice in eight once

in a time when you were not supposed to just shock up threes. Well yeah, he wasn't an efficial scorer, but the man liked shooting the basketball, that's for sure. If Antoine Walker had come up ten years fifteen years later, he would have been a much better player, because I think coaches would have been much more accepting of his play style. But when when Walker was coming up, who was like he was a small forward or he was a power forward, but like in a small forwards body, he was a

tweeter. He liked chucking. He had well I don't think it had the work ethic, but he had the talent to be great. He just never really fully saw that through. But whatever, yes, whatever, we're getting off the topic here, Mac. The topic is basketball. I am a big basketball fan these days, and I couldn't even exactly explain to you why. All right, So what we're gonna do here. We have three kind of topic ish things going on here. We're gonna start off with best basketball

scenes, not best. I picked six, no particular order. I'm not saying if they're good or bad. Shut up. I'll get to that in a second. Then we have we're gonna do a little draft of the best fictional starting lineups mac v goo on that one. And then we also have a little something in your sack. So I say, without further ag, let's get to six basketball scenes that I just gotta talk about. Wait,

what's Goose Juicy's six pack chaw? Let me tell you Goose Juice is six pen gooz Justice six packs, gooz Juste six pain, Goose Juice six pack. Man. Can I ask a question? Yes, before we move on? Why is it a horse at the unicorn? Where's the horn? Any more questions? If you don't know what I'm talking about. The little uh little video that just played with the theme song has go and a and a horse. Also, fun fact, I would sing that song, so don't

think I do true good. Let's get to a basket ball scene that really set comic book movies back quite a bit, and that is from the movie Catwoman. When yes, patients Phillips and Benjamin Bratt, Now they're supposed to have a bit of a budding romance going on a bit of a flirtation, So what do they do The sexiest thing possible one on one basketball after being pear pressured by children, of course, And what Patience does in this scene,

in this little ninety seconds is just pure nonsense. From the way that she is dribbling and bouncing the ball back and forth, which I do. She's a cat so like yarn, I kind of get that. But then she runs up a wall does a flip, and as they're going back and forth, her and Benjamin Bratt, the camera moves and the editing is nauseating. I cannot It's just back and forth. And these idiots in the crowd,

these children are so impressed by all of these moves. They even find a way to make a shot of halle Berry's ass look unappealing, like the way that they have her bouncing back and forth. Fucking slow that shit down. Yeah, this is there's so many, like, so many contextual things to know about this. So number one, we've talked about it, people talked about it before. But the character that Haley Berry plays in this movie

is not a character from comic books. It's not Selen Kyle. They just make up a new catwoman character so they can do whatever they want, I guess. And then on top of that good. They can do this if they want. Catwoman comes out in two thousand and four, and it's hard to think that they are not influenced by the popularity of the and One mixtape tour. Yeh was like two thousand and one, two thousand and two the professor that whole thing hot Sauce. So we started seeing these types of scenes

in the early and mid two thousands. I think a lot because I end one. Although what I do like about this is that Benjamin Bratt is trying to like back her down, so he's putting his ass into her and to combat that. Now you learn this at firefighter school. In order to fire a fire, you fight it with more fire. She turns around and sticks her ass right into him. The best low post defense is to also back

down the person backing you down. Everyone knows that. And then we do get some and one dribbling where she's going between her legs and then she does as a cat does, an amazing dunk. Yeah. I wonder, and we'll talk about this scene in a few minutes. Yeah, I wonder how in the Amazing Spider Man that they knew this scene existed and they still did what they did In that movie. If there was a referee on The Amazing

Spider Man, a lot of calls, a lot of calls. Well that's you know, goo, when you're playing streetball, you call your own foules. That's the whole thing. I feel like if Flash tried to call his own foul against Peter in that someone might have said your feet were still moving, and then he'd say, well, Peter fucking trap. He took six steps and ran me over. We're not on that scene yet, though,

Mac, We're still here. So she finishes her her rim rattling dunk and then lands on him, straddles him, and they just kind of sit there sexy for a second, and the kids say, can we have her ball back? Well, after you play someone one on one, there's nothing more you want to do than roll around in the sheets. You know, it's it's a natural afrodisiac. Did you ever in high school think to ever have like a thought of playing one on one with the girl and that leads to

hooking up. I think, now that i'm thinking about it, if she was backing me down, you would you would like lean into it, you know, I had that thought when I was in high school once. Oh, I might have thought about that once being back down, and then that leads to the sexy time and then all of us, all of a sudden, the lights go down in your pants strap. So I guess, uh, what would you grade this scene? I think this is the scene that everyone first thinks of, yes, or one of the top two anyways.

So in terms of like full ridiculousness for a fictional basketball scene, it's got to be a forty dog scene when you think back to recently awarded Academy Award winning Halle Berry, Yes, who then got a Razzie for this and then went to the Razzie Awards and said, hey, thanks guys. She's still the only person to actually go and accept her award. Yeah, and I think she brought her oscar with her when she went. What did she win for, by the ways, ball? Monsters ball? Yes, how about

that. Yeah, let's move on to the next scene, and we have we have space jam And you might be saying to yourself, Oh, I

know the basketball scene that you're talking about. It's the final play of the game when Bill Murray comes out of the tunnel and they do some passes back and forth and Michael Jordan does this amazing slam dunk from almost half court after being told by the Looney Tunes you're in cartoon and you can do whatever you want, when that's something they should have led with, and she just said, hey, you can do whatever you want. Although I don't think Jordan

has the greatest imagination anyways. But we'll get to that in a second. The scene that I want to talk about is before we get to that. Uh, when you have the you have the big boss, you have the coach of the Monstars, the leader of Moron Mountain. He's yelling at his team saying, why didn't you get this guy's talent? Why would you get those slouches talent? By the way, those slouches fifteen All Stars, three Hall of Famers not really slouches. The Monstars. We had Sean Bradley,

Muggsy Bogus, Larry Johnson, Charles Barkley. And who was the fifth one? Did you say Sean Bradley yet I did, Okay, Larry Patrick Ewing Ewing, yes, so maybe not Larry Johnson or Larry Johnson was one of them. And if you go back and you listen to my award winning Space Jam podcast that I did with Marcus Estevez five or six years ago. I went through the accomplishments of all the Monstars talent that they stole, and what this movie told you is that those five guys not equal to Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan better than those five guys. You know what, if you just talked talked about it strictly basketball wives, the only person that's even like remotely close is Barkley. And if you wanted to get into the extras and o's of it, they needed another wing and another guy. Yeah, they went too big, we can agree on that right now. But also, I mean, you still have two Hall of Famers there. Granted, neither of those Hall of Famers won a championship, so you could look at it that

way, and Jordan took both of them down constantly. But let's get to this though, is that while he is yelling at the Monstars for not getting the talent of Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan overhears this. He says, Hey, do you want a piece of me. That's the acting of Michael Jordan this movie. That's the high quality talent that we have. And the coach says, what do you have in mind? And Jordan says, if we win, you give the NBA stars their talent back, and if we lose.

So if you win, we lose, there we go. That's how that works. Jordan says, you get me. And what I love about this is that this movie shows off Jordan's pure addiction to gambling and the fact that he hates life with his family so much that he is willing to give it up and gamble away his freedom if he doesn't win this basketball game. If there is any doubt that Michael Jordan was suspended due to gambling on basketball, this movie only confirms that he a thousand percent is a terrible gambler.

And David Start asked him to walk away for a year. He was willing to enter slavery if he lost this. Yes, he needed this. And I now think that before every NBA Finals Jordan would go up to the best player every time and say, if you beat me, you own me.

Yeah right, there might be something to that. That definitely might be something to that, because like obviously, the the Last Dance came out ye what two years ago now, And it's funny to see Jordan talk about stuff that happened twenty five and thirty years ago and him still be bitter and competitive or a man can't get over stuff. He's just uber competitive and would still bet on whatever today. I wish they did one episode of that where he's like

and then that damn coach of the monstars. He wouldn't give the players talent back. So I had to step in and I said, you get me. They should have done like one little clip of that, like one little let's have some fun, all right, Mac. The scene that I was referencing earlier to how bad at basketball I am would be a long came Paulie, And I'm not even talking about all the shenanigans of the sweaty, shirtless

hairy guy with Ben Stieller. That's fine, that's fun. Philip Seymour Hoffman in this scene, the physical comedy that he pulls off, you don't would think of him in this comedic light as much as we should think about what is the porn movie I'm blanking right now with Mark Wahlberg Dirk Diggler, Yes, uh, what is the name of that movie? I'm a superstar.

Fuck. I always forget the name of this fucking movie. I know I can remember Dirk Diggler Boogie Knights, Boogie Knights, So think of Boogie Knights with his wife or no, he's he's the stage hand because William H. Macy has the wife that keeps sleeping with William H. Macy. Also hilarious. Booie Knight's a very very funny movie. Burt Reynolds did not like it. But Nina Hartley, an actual porn star, was in the movie, so that doesn't make sense. But the physical stuff that Philip Seymour Hoffman is

pulling off in this scene rain dance. I think this is rain drops. They said rain dance. Is it rain drops? I think it's rain drops, but I haven't seen it. He yells it. That's all that matters is that as he's shooting, he white chocolate yells it and hits the top of the backboard. Yes, it's me, it's me. That's like your classic. If you ever played pick up basketball at like a court when you're fucking waiting, you're like, all right, I got next to two teams

waiting. Every team almost has that one guy that like should never take a shot, and he takes fifteen shots. You also have an amazing line too of Ben Stillers like, Hey, why don't we switch you re guarding? Why don't you guard this guy? And Philip timour Hoffman goes, no, I just figured out how to guard this guy for whatever reason. Too. I love that his name is Sandy in that movie. It just like adds something to the character so great. Between this and the next one, I

think these are the two most jiffable of the basketball scenes. We then go to the Fresh Prince of bel Air when Will Smith joins Carlton's uptight, pretty much white basketball team. And I think the thing that I hate about the Fresh Prince the most is that they shot on the smallest basketball courts possible.

I fucking hated that. Yeah, we went to a middle school gu that had a lower gym that was probably built in nineteen twenty and the dimensions of the gym are incredibly small, like not even close to regulation size the basketball court, and that's the court they're playing on here, Like the three point line is like at half court with no middle at all. Made six foot two Will Smith look huge, but it also made five foot four hill fonsele

Ribero look huge because the court was way too small. And true Carlton this episode, he hates the fact that coach isn't giving him any more attention. Coaches away from the whole team aspect of the game now because it's all about Will. Carlton doesn't like that his dad is paying Will all these compliments. Now that Will is showing a little bit of like, you know what he can offer to the world. Philip Banks is like, you know what, I'm kind of bonding with him. I love basketball too. Now we can

talk about something. Now I can be proud about Will about something. And Carlton doesn't like this. So what happens is when Will has a chance to make the final shot of the game, Carlton rips the ball from his hand and then throws it over the backboard. But the magic of this is whoever came up with the idea, the editor, cinematographer, director to slow it down and make it look like it's gonna be an epic, good ending final

shot, and then it completely missing everything. One of the funniest things of all time. It's so fucking good. I love it. I love that one. The next one up here, Mac is like we talked about earlier, from The Amazing Spider Man. We have the dunk and Peter doesn't care for how Flash is treating this girl who is painting at the basketball court during either gym class or a practice. I'm not even sure what it is to have all of these people at once in the gym makes no sense. I

don't know how they're all gathered there. No. So what Peter does is, after Flash does this twice, because Flash, you did that on purpose. You brought the ball over here on purpose. Yeah, is Peter picks it up and decides to fucking school Flash and he goes on off the heasy on him, and then what Flash does? Flash backs off a little bit. Flash couldn't take the ball away from Peter Spider hands, so he backs him. He's like, go ahead, Peter, let's see what you got.

Peter decides to then he dribbles a little bit, picks up his dribble, takes six steps, runs Flash over, and then dunks from the three point line. I wonder what they why they needed to do this, because it takes you out of the movie completely. And the Amazing Spider Man movies are not campy like the Raimi movies, and for them to throw this scene in the middle of the movie, You're like, what the fuck is I was already I didn't love the skateboarding scenes. There's a lot of skateboarding scenes

in the movie. And when we eventually do our podcast called Skateboarding, we'll talk about that there. But and Flash also fucks it up. He doesn't even take the charge. He steps into him. Obviously you can call travel on Peter, but we don't even know what a travel is these days. There was a eurostep in there. It was a crab jump. I also like, and we were just talking about this before we started recording. You

know, if you takes steroids doesn't help you hit a baseball. Just because you have superhuman abilities now doesn't mean you know how to dribble and shoot a basketball. Like you're just stronger and quicker, but you don't gain the abilities of hot size kind of seeing what happened in Catwoman and in Spider Man, I disagree. So, Peter, you now have the powers of a spider.

You can climb walls, shoot webs, dribble a basketball. The little cherry on top of all these mutations is that everyone is now good at basketball as well. And now let's get to a scene that people talk about a good amount. But I don't think give the proper context to this final scene. And I decided, is okay. The movie is called Double Teamed? Is a double team or double Teamed? Probably double Team? I told Mac to watch this last night, and then an hour later he came back saying,

I watched all the scenes. I watched all the double Team scenes. You just started texting me out of the blue about it is called double Team, Double Team the two thousand and two Disney can get it on Disney Plus. I suggest you watch it. You just started texting me live live texting watching Double Team because that scene, the final scene is when we get the final shot of the game. But we'll get to that in a second. The final scene in its entirety in quality HD, even standard deaf not even

on there. There's only screenshots of people that post it. And I said, what happened that led us to this point? Right? Why does this girl have this heel thing where she like builds up momentum that lets her slow her body down like she's fucking quicksilver. And she can do this for what feels like twenty minutes. When there's six seconds on the clock. The defender

should have stolen the ball very easily. The defender didn't see this happening when you went like this and they're like, oh shit, she's gonna go that way. Oh oh who. So in this movie, let me just go ahead and just break this down for you real quick. It's about two twins. One is named Heidi, one is named Heather throughout the entire thing is

Yes, I did watch the entire movie. I needed to know what happened leading up to that final scene, so I watched the full ninety minutes leading up to it, based on a true story, based on a true story. I didn't know either of the girls at any point of this movie because they're twins and they look alike, and even if you put their first initial on their shirt, that wouldn't help me because Heidi Heather, Yeah, but they're not. This was the rare case in the early two thousands or late

nineties that they didn't like cgi or shoot multiple scenes. It's two different girls. It's two different girls from two different actors, not related at all, playing twins. But it is about two girls who are very good at volleyball. They're fucking behemoths. They're like six foot two. They're monsters compared to the rest of the children. They're only freshmen, by the way, so

they switch high schools to get noticed, to get scouted for volleyball. And what happens is that when they get their volleyball doesn't start until the spring. So you need something to do, right, Gotta do something. Heidi or

Heather joins the basketball team, and then Heather or Heidi joins drama. But the father is one of those overbearing fathers and he's like, I think you guys should both play basketball to get ready for volleyball, right right, So while he suggests that Heidi or Heather does not do it yet, she still does drama. While Heidi or Heather does do basketball, and she's instantly a

fucking star. She is able to. This was made in the year twenty oh two, I believe, and this is about teenage girls from the early nineties like they were in high school, actually high school in the late eighties. So the entire look of this movie sucks. But this girl, either Heidi or Heather, which everyone starts playing basketball. At first I think it's Heidi, but it might be Heather. She is instantly able to completely anytime

someone should it's the ball, she blocks. It goes transition three. She invented the fucking transition three. She had never played basketball before, and she is just making it rain every single time. And then once Heather or Heidi's father makes the other one quit drama without even telling her to sign her up

for basketball too, that one exact same skill set. So I can't pretend to know how Heather and Heidi played in real life, but them probably being like six' to two in some podunk town means they did dominate in high school Califate. Weren't jacking transition threes like Caitlyn Clark like they were ripping transition

threes. Both of them were just setting up and ripping. There are, uh they might show like three games in this three or four games in this I counted two misshots from every team, and those two misshots are blocked by one of them. Transition three. I just imagine them going up against like five seven girls and the two girls are standing there like Duncan and Robinson, just missing layoups with the other ones getting the reamount and putting it in.

That's how they scored every point. Also, there are multiple times when one of them will score and then all the other girls congratulate them on scoring while the other team is running down the court. So it's real to life. Yes, that's exactly what. So what happens here and this is this is how we get into that final scene. This is we're gonna paint a picture for that final scene. Sure, if you haven't seen it, go watch it right now, Double team turn us off right now, Google Double teamed,

or do it on Yahoo with your filter off. See what pops up. But there is a game, and it might be a playoff game, might just be a regular game where it's the end of the game and they need to hit some foul shots. And Heidi, I believe, goes out there to take the file shots and the coach goes up up, but up up. Heather's the hot hand because I believe the other coach got seed. Yeah, and the coach got so you can pick who's shooting. So Heather

goes out there, hits a foul shot. She's the hero. And the father, who's usually proud of Heidi, goes and gives Heather a hug, and Heidi's like, where the fuck's my hug. So what happens is she goes to the cul de sac and practices with the homeless kid who taught her and her other two teammates how to play basketball earlier. And they're just doing one on one and this kid is This kid's beating them, by the way, So what is this saying. It's like women can't play basketball. This

fucking homeless kid he can beat them all. He's beat them all a lot. On the threat. Girl has been playing back off for three months. That kid probably was beating She created the transition three. So what happens is that as they were practicing, she fucking blows out her ankle just before the big game, just before the game where the scouts are coming right right, So she blows out her ankle. She cannot walk. And what happens is for that game, she's on the bench, she's not dressed, she has

ice on her foot, she crutches. Yeah, we get to the end of the game. There is ten seconds left and there's a foul So one of her smaller teammates is shooting the foul shots, but Heidi says to her, take your time, and Heidi wobbles off. She goes and puts her jersey on, yeah, and comes back. It's like coach put me in and the coach is like, fuck it, let's let's do it. And he also says I was made to make this play, and I'm like,

this guy's pretty fucking electric. He he draws up this play and he's like, look, you're gonna draw everybody in. Even though if I'm the other team, I'm like, you let the fucking the one legged idiot shoot. Let the flamingo shoot. So the inbound comes in. Oh, by the way, the coach also says, hey, when that ball comes to you, you hold it. And it's like, there's six seconds left. Why are you holding it. You don't have time, Jason Tamum, you gotta

you gotta get the action. You gotta start moving the ball. So the inbound comes in. She gets the ball with six point five seconds left. She is five feet back of the three point line. Then we get a close up of her starting to ramp up and like do this heel thing, and she's shimmying her body around. Like I said, kind of like quicksilver time stand still. She can move at full speed and as she is drawing

someone in, it's got to get rid of the inertia. No, but it then pulls, like the camera pulls back and she is on the three point line. Did she teleport? Did she take? Steve gets two steps, But even while she's doing her heel thing, she's like almost picking up her feet. She's really tempting the referee to call it travel on her. What an ending to the movie that would have been ball going other way, travel you lose. And also this move, I thought like, this is

what she was known for. She's known for this ramp up, you know, pull the defender. She did this once in the movie prior to this. Yeah, I'm like, was she taught this? Is this something? But I don't even understand why this is the thing. And then she goes behind the back and throws a terrible pass to her sister, like it is wide left by about three feet, and her sister just luckily put her arm out and got it because she's a goddamn giant. She got it. Put

it up buzzer beater than Yeah, that's the end of the movie. And then these two girls went and played in the WNBA. I think that they didn't know how to build the tension properly. So he was like, all right, we're gonna do some like really focused shots of her holding the ball as time is running down. But then someone was like, well, that's not really how basketball works. She wouldn't just stand there, and he's like no, no, no, no, She's gonna do this thing. And

they're like all right, Like, okay, is that our move? Is that the triple D? Yeah? No pick and roll, no set action, nothing, I just stand out twenty five feet away from the basket. I also like how right after this happens, the father goes up to them after the game. He's like, I'm sorry, I put so much pressure on you guys. I didn't mean to do this. It's like, this is the spot that you pick. You're the reason why they just won the game. Dad. Yep, about you pat yourself on the back. Yeah

for what? Yeah, incredible, incredible scene. I watched that entire ninety minute movie. I don't know why you did that. I had to know how we got there. Had you'd never seen it before. I saw it when I was younger, And by the way, I know exactly why I forgot about it. It's fucking boring. It is a mayonnaise sandwich. There's a chance it's the worst Disney original. All right, Mac, let's move on to what you came here for Lightning. This is what you came for,

and that is the better fictional basketball team. Have you figured out how we're gonna do this. Who's gonna draft first and then we'll do Serpentine? Do you want to set any parameters here? Okay? So yes, we are not gonna take anyone that is playing themselves in a movie. Okay, so no, like real pros. Right, so you can't take Michael Jordan even when he is in an animated world. Okay. I Also, just because I felt like it was cheating, I didn't use any pros playing other

characters, so like Shack in Blue Chips. Okay, so I will get that out here. Am I allowed to use animated characters? You can use animated characters? Yes? Good, because I have eight animated characters. They would have had to do a whole new draft setup. Do you want to do yeah, Serpentine, Serpentine, Do you want to draft five and then a sixth man? We can do that if I have enough guys. Okay, all right? Do you want first pick or do you want second pick?

I will do first pick because I believe this character needs to be drafted first pick. And now time for what come on? And waiting for ye right now when the streets are paid with gold. We don't want no dead woo for those Only doggie Ie Cracker a buddy that he may do, but no gobblety cook. Only the best of the best will be taken in the draft. But not just any old draft. It's the macking oo draft. What'st it at six foot seven but plays like he's eleven feet tall. Big

man from the Diabolos Elliot Richards played by Brendan Frasier in Bedazzled. All right, you have Brendan Fraser from Bedazzled. He said five league records in one game, one hundred and four points, forty five rebounds, thirty two assist, thirty seven steals, twenty eight blocks. Now, I will say there is one downside, tiny cock. So he's really angry. He's like Draymond Green out there, just take hacking people out. We're gonna have very different

teams. I can tell you that from that I texted you yesterday. I don't think we're gonna have any overlap. All right, so you have Brendan Fraser from Bedazzles. First pick, yeah, fuas his name is Elliott Richards, with the second and third picks here. I'm gonna get real harry On you go. I'm going air Bud from all the air Bud movies. Listen. Airbud can't dribble. He's unbelievable in transition, never misses a shot, great free throw shooter. He can't be your number one though, because he

can't dribble. You know who can be your number one? Goo teen Wolf Scott Howard. That's a good pick. Played by Michael j Fox. Get all the ups you'd never need. He can be your your your Kobe Bryant, your Michael Jordan type of player, and not for nothing. Since he's a wolf, he's probably gonna scare most of the other team. Speaking of Michael Jordan, my next pick here, listen at five foot two guard for the La Knights, Calvin Cambridge, played by a Lil Bow wow In like

Mike, He's like Michael Jordan, but Beannie. Yeah, I was gonna I was hoping he would slip to me. That's a that's a good pick. He was in my top three. My first pick of the third round unofficially listed at nine oh eleven forward from the Monsters Pound from the movie Space Jam. He's thick, he don't get pushed around. He's got a big old bubble butt and he's got the powers of Charles Barkley. That's just lazy.

Picking a monstar is lazy. I picked the best one if you had to pick one, isn't it pound Listen, It's lazy, that's all I say. It's fucking lazy, all right. So I don't know. I don't know how I need to do this here. I already have the intimidation factor with a dog and a wolf technically two dogs on the score. Yeah you're gonna oh good, you picked a fucking monster. Oh me to my dogs. Give me. I've run out of a dog. So that I got the top two on the board. Though now I'm not sure. First

off, there's many more dogs. Air bud has children. You can take any of the air Buddies fair enough. Do I want to get sexy year or do I want to go with the real basketball? I hope you don't take my sexy pick. I might go back to back sexy picks here. That's that's what I'm not too sure about. Give me Lola Bunny, Lola Bunny from from space Jam. There's just nothing reeks more than an animated Lola Bunny. I don't know what it is about her. She she reeks sex

appeal. She's dripping and sex appeal. Now, I think at the very least, I'll be distracting your monstar. Well no, well so what I would say though, So I'm the coach of my team, right, sure, I would pull him aside and I'd say, hey, you see a little bunny over there. Don't call her doll. She does. And what I like about Loa is she doesn't need the ball in her hands to affect the game. You know, She's always can't have all alphas on the floor,

and that doesn't make a good basketball square. Although she's kind of an alpha though, I would say that outside of Jordan, she was the alpha of that team. But she needs to step up. She can, that's for sure. Ku, I'm gonna take uh for my fourth pick here, first pick of the fourth round. Nathan Scott, played by James Lafferty from One Tree Hill, an absolute animal of a basketball player, went to Duke

and ended up playing for the Charlotte Bobcats. Gouz, so I'm getting an NBA player here without taking an NBA player, I guess I had to get one real one, alright, with my fourth pick in the fictional basketball player Draft five to ten from the Flint Tropics, Jumping Johnny Johnson, Sugar Dunkerton, down Town, Funky Stuff, Malone, Coffee Black or you might know him by his birth name, Clarence Withers, played by Andre three thousand.

Not only can he boost the play of those around him, he invented the alley oop. Really good pick. I love Andre three thousand. Definitely the best player in that movie. So I'm glad you took him. If you were going to take one, all right, Listen, at five foot ten, his position is baller Billy Hoyle played by Woody Harrelson, and white men can't jump. Gave him the slight edge over Wesley Snipes. That's fair enough.

That's fair enough. So you got Now you have a starting five, so you'll have a sixth man, right, I got a six man? All right? Let me take my fifth player in six man here. So now, now there's a lot of good options still available, considering we have completely different lists. I think we talked about one. I could take Will Smith, the fresh Prince here. I'm not gonna do that. You get

Troy Bolton from high school musical, who obviously is an absolute stud. Ku. I I want to take Monica Wright McCall from Loving Basketball to make my team even sexier. But what I'm gonna do here to really bring in the team cabaraderies. Take two people from the same show, from the same office. Give me Jim Halpert and Kevin Malone. I don't know about that. I don't know what do you mean. See Kevin Malone shoot a free thrown. I'm not gonna hack Kevin though, Okay, I listened right now.

That's they canna run a nice two man game at the top of the key, Jim Halford, Kevin Malone rounding out my six. All right, my final pick here, and what a steal with my final pick here? An absolute stud I could not find his height. But from the show Doug sky Davis. Yeah, it's a class act. Yeah, he can dunked from the free throw line. I don't even remember the character. He had a shoe line he signed Doug's shoe. I had no idea what this guy is.

Sky Davis. Give him a Google Goo for the folks at home. My starting five for animated fictional basketball players, not animated, just whatever. You want to call fictional basketball players. I've got Airbud, teen Wolf, Lola Bunny, Nathan Scott, Jim Halpert, and my sixth man, Kevin Malone coming off the bench, whereas GOO has Elliott Richards, Calvin Cambridge Pound. I'mreing three thousand fun from Tropic Thunder, not Tropic Thunder. What's the

other one? Semi pro air, Sky Davis? And who else did I have? This is all over the place. Billy Hoyle. I might have to start Kevin as my big now that I'm looking at it. Kevin's might have to be my here, but he's got a nice touch around the rim. I might put Billy Hoyle on the bench because I feel like he can spark my second team. Oh that's not bad. Yeah, that's not bad. I think I don't know. I think I have to start Lola, or maybe I'll bring Lola off the bench, depending on what we need.

You know, because I got air Button, Teenwolf gotta start. They have the most endurance. They can go the full forty forty eight whatever we're playing. Nathan Scott's our alpha with teen Wolf, that's our top two. Maybe Halpert's off the bench. One of the office guys might have to come off the bench. I like my six, So head on over to social media. Let's call it X and vote on who you think had the best team. Let's get into Max and Max. That could be anything that could be

a vote in this week. Max, since we're on the topic of basketball, I asked you for a mount rushmore of basketball songs. Should I go first? Uh? Yeah, I didn't come up with a mount rushmore. I just named two songs though. Oh but I like yours though, Mmm, damn it the one that you have first, that's a good one. So I think that Space Jam by the Quad ceddjs might be the best of

all time. Nothing gets me more jazzed. I think it's number two, behind the one that you apparently don't like, the one that I forgd Oh no, the other one. If you listen to that song recently. Yeah, we'll talk about that in a second fifteen fifteen references in it. By the way, the Quad City DJ is like jam Jump into the Jam, Jam Jack, Great Jam Jam, Amazing. White Iverson by post Malone still gets me. Saucin. You've you've mentioned Dwight Iverson on this podcast at least

like twelve times. I don't know how or why, but you have because jokingly me and my wife used to say that it was our song, but now I truly believe it is our song. You liked Posty before he really became Posty, when he was still sort of in that weird like kind of rapping stage, and now he's not really doing that anymore. But you have liked post Malone from day one. I've always liked White Iverson. I've always like the song White Iverson. Yeah, that's true. I'm so sad.

I'm so sad on you Basketball Jones by Barry White. Also on the Bass Jam soundtrack, It's just Sexy Ship, what are you Gonna Do? And the one that I just tossed on here because it's Globetrotters and that is a sweet Georgia Brown. I think we can drop this and we put what you had on here. And that is how I beat shack. Aaron Carter Alzheimer boom boom, put it in the Hoopla slam slam. Heard the crowd screman Now Jam Jam Jam, I swear I'm telling you the fast Now, that's

how all right? P Aaron Carter that that one's got to be up there right our wheelhouse as Disney Kids as well. You think Basketball by Curtis Blow stinks, which I think I think it's terrible. That's the number one all time. So so the reason why is because my father in law was singing it the other day basketball and my son, and my son's like, oh, what's the song? And I'm like, okay, let's put it on

for him. Let's see see what he says. He heard the first verses like Daddy, this song stinks, and I'm like, you know what it does? Every verse has like three or four player references from the eighties. It's fucking it. All I can think of is do you remember the Donald Glover stand up that was kind of famous a couple of years ago. And he's like, did you guys ever hear rap in the eighties? And it just be like them picking up a hat being like, now I have this

hat and I'm gonna walk down the street and put on this hat. That's what the song is. Basketball. It's my favorite rite sport. I like the way there, that's the best line. I like the way they dribble up and down the court. Fucking it tickles my brain and it's just something

that I didn't know I need scared. Yeah all time. Sample right there too, that chorus that that little interlude right there that sucks, sucks, No, you suck, and then go a nice one that came out I don't know fifteen twenty years ago, I was on a Little Wayne mixtape. I don't even think it was on an album. Is Kobe Bryant Little Wayne? That's a good one as well. All right, so you guys go on social media, tell us your mount Rushmore of basketball songs. What a

basketball extravaganza this was, Yeah, what a time. It was a real March Madness segment. Here in April. You had told me, I don't think this episode goes beyond twenty minutes. But what you didn't realize is that I watched Double Teams. I think contributions to this podcast. You forty minutes, me five minutes. I watched Double Teams. Guys, I watched the full movie. I recommend you watch the name. I watched a movie with

the same title. It was just a different plot. And what's great is that when you search it on Disney Plus, that pops up and then luck of the Irish pops up and anything else that they have to do with basketball, and I'm like, I wish I was watching those. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Yeah. I think what stems from this is one of these days weeks we'll end up doing like all those Disney originals, We'll do with top ten or something like that, or even just ten that we've seen,

or maybe we'll teer them. We can tear them. If I've seen them, I've definitely seen all of it. I just can't think of any of them. I think i've you know which one I uh? Or it might have been a show? What was the show? Was Brink? The uh was the mother the mother in uh double Team? I forget her name. She's kind of like on the eyes tell you that much. Did she have that show where she was on the road and Brink was her son? The jersey, No, not the jersey. I hated the jersey. She

was like a rock star guitar. I don't know if it was Brink that was her son, though, Oh, I just I don't remember if it was a show or a movie. Well, now I'm thinking of that show that was on Disney. Was it called like like Weird something or like Strange something, and it was like that little psychic girl, are you thinking of that's so raven. No, that's a different show. This one she could see ghosts, Secret Life of Alex Matt. No, this one she could

see ghosts, she ghosts. Yeah, sounds this would be in a block with the famous Jet Jackson. Oh, I don't remember this one at all. I also like when you had mentioned this to me last night, I was on Wikipedia looking at all like the titles, and when I would see like three good ones in a row, I'm like, Wow, what a fucking run of Disney Channel original movies they did? They have aen On,

Prank and Smart House all in a row. They had like a three or four year probably like ninety eight to two or ninety seven to one, all bangers. Yeah, so we'll do that eventually.
