Especially after McCall tears his ACL as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Maybe this past year-plus, Wiseman felt like Omar Epps' character Quincy McCall more than once. "Just going through that, going through college, experiencing everything, those two movies show you a lot about what the life of an athlete is, so to speak."Īll the highs and lows of being an athlete, specifically a basketball player, are laid out in front of the audience throughout "Love & Basketball." From being 11 years old to being a pro, it's all there - fighting for a scholarship, dealing with the pressure of having the spotlight on you, relationship and family drama, a devastating knee injury and yes, love. "It just shows you the adversity that every athlete goes through. "I'd say 'Above The Rim' or 'Love & Basketball,' " Wiseman said. There also is true meaning behind the 21-year-old's picks.
Like Rollins, one of James Wiseman's favorite basketball movies also is "Above The Rim." His other favorite hasn't been mentioned yet, and it's great for more than just a perfect soundtrack. It took Warriors second-round pick Ryan Rollins a few moments of contemplation before going with "Above The Rim" and "He Got Game."įor myself, it didn't take me any time to get visually way too excited for "He Got Game" getting some love. It's Space Jam, for sure."Īnd no, not whatever that was with LeBron James last year. I watched that when I was a kid, and I probably still watch it every once in a while. "For me, it's gotta be 'Space Jam,' " Baldwin said in July during our Dubs Talk interview. But he went with the quintessential childhood basketball movie that premiered nearly six years to the date before he was born. Patrick Baldwin Jr., the Warriors' first-round pick from the 2022 NBA Draft, is a big fan of "Hustle," the Adam Sandler-led dramedy that hit Netflix two weeks before the draft. Say "White Men Can't Jump" without hesitation, and now we're going somewhere. Choose "Uncut Gems," and you're a certified psycho. You like the classics and were probably on your youth basketball coach's good side for a dynamite chest pass. What about one's favorite basketball movie, though? I asked that exact question to a handful of young Warriors in Las Vegas right before summer league games started and received a handful of answers. Most people can't narrow down their one favorite song, band or movie. It's an easy conversation starter with an impossible answer. Why does this matter? Once everyone is safely outside, Jim Halpert starts a game of Desert Island, first with three books one would bring while stranded and then five DVDs. LAS VEGAS - The fourth episode in the second season of "The Office" is titled "The Fire." It's all about, you guessed it, a fire occurring inside the office, one that the character Ryan Howard started - as it's revealed after Dwight Schrute runs back into the smokey building to impress his boss, Michael Scott.
