Yeah, I was there on Thursday night and I asked them then. They said that as long as I didn't slow the game down it'd be fine. I went out of my way to act as quickly as possible, and it was never once an issue.

This really is huge for me. As I've transitioned into playing mostly heads up or shorthanded online, its caused my full ring live game to falter. I simply don't have the patience anymore, and at one point in my poker career I would've said that patience was my biggest strength.

TUt is skipped now. Unfortunately, T-God only sent me 1 pick(he has 2 in a row and I was dumb enough to not realize it). I'm just going to post his pick and I guess he technically has 6h from now to make the other one.

Round 1, Pick 8: Clarence Withers aka Coffee Black



I'm taking a man who singlehandedly led a team of misfits and out-of-shape has-beens to a victory over
THE San Antonio Spurs. A man who was not only the first man to ever perform the alley-oop-style dunk,
but the best man to ever perform the alley-oop-style dunk.



Even Dwight Howard doesn't get that much air. Above the rim ain't ****. My man is above the backboard. And this was off
a pass from a chubby white guy.

Woops, forgot about the second pick. On my phone so I can't post pictures til later, but I take Chip Douglas aka The Cable Guy. Chip is the ultimate scrappy hustle player. He's a lock-down defender, an excellent rebounder for his size, and can dunk so hard that he shatters the backboard.

That's such an awesome pick, had him high on my list for future rounds. I think the youtube link for the bball scene is mandatory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0lbdPKl8hg

And of course the amazing youtube link that LenC posted.


Just noticed that I forgot to say which movie Coffee Black was from- it's Semi-Pro.

i guess it's a weekend, and reasonable to expect that people might not be around...

**** it, I take Jackie Moon from the movie "Semi-Pro", played by Will Ferrell. Jackie can do it all, he'll play starting PF and also provide some solid halftime shows.
Spoiler:




His famous hit 'Love Me Sexy'
Jackie Moon shooting free throws
The birth of the alley-oop

Team so far

PF - Jackie Moon
SF - Moses Guthrie

Was pm'd to help TuT out. With his first pick TuT takes Jamal Jeffries from Juwanna man.



Jamal with Scrilla from the nba.



Unlike the previous picks, Juwanna man is a known pro in the nba(and a star at that!). Jamal gives me a star player with elite shot creation which is crucial in street ball format. He had some issues with selfishness, but it was resolved by the end of the show. He also developed a pretty decent passing game and dominated the women's league.

This pick gives me probably the best player itd so far since the #1 pick has enormous upside and Woody is just a spot up shooter.

With TuT's second pick he is taking Jimmy Chitwood from Hoosiers.




IMO Jimmy is the BPA and will be vital in the 2-1 pt format. He shot at almost a 100% clip in hoosiers and with Jeffries shot creation and no look passes he should get a lot of clean looks. There were a lot of bigs that could be taken here, but they still will be available with the next pick imo.

Team so far
Pg: Jamal "im the man but i can find an open teammate to win" Jeffries
Sg: Jimmy "lights out" Chitwood

Round 2

Tracey Reynolds - Star of the LA Knights in Like Mike




So far I'm two rounds in and have two star NBA players. Tracey is a creator on offense, can shoot great from deep, and plays well alongside another star player.

Team so far:

Lewis Scott - Celtic Pride
Tracey Reynolds - Like Mike

Round 2: Pick 13: John Tucker (John Tucker Must Die)



it's hard to find clips of his basketball skills but I'll continue to search through youtube. For those who haven't seen this chick flick, watch the first 15 seconds of this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzrj97cGifw

That's pretty much all he does in games. No one can really stop him.

We have a three point (2 points) shooter in Billy already. Now we're adding our athletic supa-flying superstar. He can play defense, he can 360-dunk, he can deke, he can drive, he can pass, he's your all-round college player. This also obviously works great in creating room for Billy ldo, but I'll let AF get into the nitty gritty basketball mechanics.

team so far:
Billy Hoyle (White Men Can't Jump)
John Tucker (John Tuq.er Must Die)

Round #2 Pick #14

Quincy McCall (Omar Epps) from the movie Love & Basketball.


He is the explosive scorer that we need to play SG. Q (that's his nickname in the movie) is the top high school recruit in the country at the beginning of the movie. He goes on to become a star while playing his freshman year at USC. Blessed with a great pedigree (his father is the star player of the San Diego Clippers), he is also a fierce competitor as we can see when he knocks his future girlfriend down during a friendly (there are no such things with Q) game. He goes on to play in the NBA for the Lakers, where he eventually blows out his knee. We obviously are taking him pre-blown knee.

Team so far:

C Saleh
SG Quincy McCall
