Basketball Movie All-Star Team

If you look back in the archives in this site, you'll see that once upon a time I threw in a post every once in a while about basketball, (naturally) my other passion aside from hip-hop. In fact, my first post, the classic Fab 5 and Fab 5 comparison was likely the most perfect blend of hip hop and basketball culture in the history of blogging. Getting to the point, I not only have a passion for real basketball but also for some good, wholesome fictional basketball. I have basically seen every relevant basketball movie evar plus VHS classics like "Jordan's Playground" and those blooper tapes with Marv Albert and that other jackass. So, from my in-depth knowledge of the greatest players in the history of cinematic basketball, I give you the ultimate starting lineup.

PG- Sidney Deane, White Men Can't Jump

He only plays 2-on-2 in the movie so it's hard to assess Sydney as a point guard but with his playground-tested skills I'm sure he would do just fine if surrounded with enough talent. After all, this guy made Woody Harrelson look good.

SG- Jesus Shuttlesworth, He Got Game

Jesus may only be like 19 but his game is mature beyond his years. Every college coach in America is vying for Jesus' commitment and with good reason. He is athletic, has good size for a two guard, and his outside shot is Ray Allen status.

SF- Tom "Shep" Shepherd, Above The Rim

Shep may be old but holy fuck that guy is good. He hadn't played basketball (not with a ball at least) in years then he comes out and lights it the fuck up, in khakis no less. This is not to mention how he completely sons Kyle, a Georgetown commit, in one on one. He's tall, smooth (no homo), and has a disgusting mid-range game.

PF- Saleh, Air Up There

Raw, African 7-footers don't normally pan out but Saleh is actually pretty good. You wouldn't see Hasheem Thabeet, for example, pulling that fake right/through the legs move or whatever it was he did to win the game.

C- Neon Bordeaux, Blue Chips

Neon may have the highest potential of any movie player ever. He barely had any basketball experience and immediately dominated the best Division 1 competition. He not only owned the paint with his monster dunks and alley-oops, but showed the ability to lead the break every once in a while.
