Well we're in the offseason so why not. Dr J. and Meadowlark Lemon did a movie in 1979 called the Fish that Saved Pittsburgh. It's awful. It's about a fictional team that figured out their chemistry through astrology and won a title because everyone on the team was a Pisces. If you think I'm kidding about this ridiculous movie youtube has it up for free right now



If someone knows a worse basketball movie let me know here

I have heard about this movie, but didn't know this was the plot, sounds beyond asinine. I basically stopped watching movies in 2003 or smth, I can not think of very bad basketball movies, the worst one I have seen is probably Like Mike. I believe they made straight to DVD sequels of that, I imagine it aint Home ALone 4 bad, but I assume those would be bad... I have seen that Will Farell Basketball movie and I thought it was pretty terrible.

They could at least mix 12 players between the zodiac and make their ability related to it Saint Seiya style

For basketball movies, it’s Air Bud and then everything beneath that.

Blue Chips might be the most underrated basketball film ever. That one is fantastic.

Let me tell you about this masterpiece of cinema. The premise starts when 4 midgets decide to start a basketball team. They need a fifth. They decide they need a former NBA player because that is what everyone does on a streetball court with one player short. Unexpectedly, Rodman shows up in a limousine, starts playing, and chooses to join their team. Rodman's dominance helps them get through the playoffs. Rodman's dominance, however, starts to make the midgets jealous and resentful because they feel like they are now just spectators, something they never imagined would happen when they asked an HOF former NBA player to join their team. Being the excellent teammate that he is, Rodman recognizes this and, in the only way an Emmy-winning former NBA player can, feigns an injury when they arrive at the championship game. "I have faith in you, midgets," he says in his parting words to the group. The referee says, unmoved, "You need one more to play." The midgets are in a state of panic and anxiety until, out of nowhere, one of their sons comes up and says, "I'll play." He's wearing a clown nose when he says this, for some reason. The score then fluctuates back and forth; they are behind late, but with seconds remaining, they get on each other's shoulders, and the top player dunks it at the buzzer. The referee declares, "No, you can't do that." You lose. All of the midgets are gloomy and depressed. Rodman then comes out and acknowledges that he was acting the whole time and wasn't actually hurt. They become angry with Rodman, saying, "We lost because of you, ****," as their sadness begins to transform into rage. "Lost? Really?" he asks. Take a look around. The crowd chants, "Minis! Minis!"

The end.

Juwanna Mann is a rich and complex Faustian tale that uses women's hoops as a jumping-off point to explore issues of gender and race in modern America.

Last month, it was starting to look like the Knicks would pick a coach from the stands, like Whoopi Goldberg in Eddie.

(Horrible movie, great bit parts from pro players)

Now, I haven't seen this movie. It's called Double Teamed. But I thought it was funny:
