    Yeah, I have to go with Stockard Channing as the psychic coaching assistant in the Fish that Saved Pittsburgh... anyone catch those halftime shows?


    If I have to pick from the poll, I go with Above the Rim since that title has correct grammar.

    I know you never saw these movies when you were growing up in River Oaks Mo.

    moes in Above the Rim = Flip

    moes in He Got Game = Coleman 'Booger' Sykes
    Kam = Dakota Burns

    We know you saw these movies 27 times in the plush movie theater. You paid full price because going to the matinee is "prole."

    Eastern european ladies are hot.

    You were last pick. You were the guy that never got to sniff the court.


    Ohh noes, SBC Center. I'm scared for my life.

    But but but but I thought you were from the hood, you shouldn't be scared of your life.

    Not even close.

    'Above the Rim' is the best basketball movie ever made.

    You can't beat a movie with Regulators in its soundtrack.

    The streetballing at the end is pretty fun to watch when that point guard on the other team (I can't remember, maybe tupac's team) is straight up doing Kyle up. I wonder if that was just a random streetballer or he really was someone in real life.

    That was also Tupac at his acting finest.

    Well, other than this of course, (1st minute or so.) :

    NSFW language <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8EhVythrbyc&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8EhVythrbyc&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    EDIT: forgot to add, i remember when i watched it when it first came out, i had no idea who the hell tupac was. i remember thinking to myself " wow this guy is pretty talented, i wonder why i have never seen him before anywhere." it wasn't after his death when he first became known in the public eye that i thought back and put it all together.













    sincerely,
    Fatty
    just giving you a hard time Fatty :)

    I grew up in the hood son, 140 miles north of Compton. Close Enough.
