Who Is the Greatest Fictional Basketball Player of All Time? «

 

Fun article that discusses more than just the title in the thread.

Love when Grantland does articles like this.

 

About He Got Game...

 

 

2. This game was poetry. The two best parts: When Denzel hits that goofy layup early in the game and then takes a victory lap around the 3-point line, and Ray just stands there watching him and seethes. Later, when Ray bodies Denzel down low and then tells him, “I thought you lifted weights in Attica.” What a great jab. I remember the last time I played my dad in basketball. It was half as athletic as Ray and Denzel, but just as contentious. Near the end of the game, he was pressing up on me, so I stepped back a bit, bounced the ball between his legs, ran around him, caught it on the other side, then dribbled in for a layup. That was 16 years ago. I don’t think we’ve talked since.

Chip Hilton. Greatest all around athlete in history.

Who would win in a one-on-one matchup between Sidney Wade and Billy Hoyle? Might need its own thread.

Just beginning the article, but just had to post that I am thrilled to see all the Blue Chips references. I love that movie and sometimes feel I'm the only one who remembers it existed.

 

Also, Jimmy Chitwood was the first thought I had when I saw the title and immediately the Hoosiers theme has gotten stuck in my head.

Grantland could do 10K words on that no problem.

Warren Coolidge

 

How Cool was Coolidge? One of my favorite shows of my childhood. I remember being an upset 10 year old because they cut it due to The Who concert at the Coliseum, too young to understand what was really happening.

"What a terrible, terrible play call at the end of Hoosiers. 'Hey, here you go, here’s the ball, Jimmy. Just stand there for, like, 20 seconds, then shoot a contested jumper. Good luck, bro.'"

 

It's almost like coaches are still taking their cues from that to this day......

I'm sorry, but every team and player on this list gets waxed by the young men of Medfield High School from Disney's The Absent-Minded Professor when they've got Flubber shoes. Did you see how high those dudes jump? Midcourt dunking, everybody.

I believe in the real game, Bobby Plump held it close to 4 minutes.

 

That was Dixie's play call the other night against Holmes.
