Mavericks the Movie! Why Dallas Deserves the Finals



The Dallas Mavericks deserve to win the NBA Finals and I'll put the reasoning simply. The Mavericks winning creates a perfect sports film. Hoosiers will now be 3rd on the greatest basketball movies ever. (Spacejam will forever be number 1. solely for being the only sports movie to feature Porky Pig) The Dallas Mavericks story and plot won't need to be that brilliant, like Kelly's Heroes or The Expendables, it will carried simply by a great cast. Think of the characters already on this team.
Jason Kid = The old veteran who needs to sap every bit of energy out of his breaking down body. He provides a mentor role who has traveled this path before and is searching for that ring. On team trips and meetings he would be the quite, stoic type.
Jason Terry = Comic relief but still contributes. Gutsy big-mouthed
talking a ton. Hits huge 3s and runs his mouth all over the place.
Tyson Chandler = Total jock "nothing upstairs" type, have you seen him flex on the court? A beefcake for the women and just the general dolt.
J.J. Barea = Total Leprechaun. Small guy who is gutsy and is very sensitive about his fight. Willing to fight anyone. Heavy drinking Irishman
Peja Stoyakovich = The eastern European who gets benched in the Finals, his struggles are heartbreaking bring some sadness to the team
Deshawn Stevenson = Tough guy who is just your everyman. He is either partnered with his sub. Always talking with Jason Terry or he is the best friend to our leading man who is.....
NOT Dirk Nowitzski = Dirk is great but he just isn't the type of player people will relate too. He will be a great character, lots of depth there. Lots of loss and failure that he is finally taking care of, carrying his team to the end. I love Dirk and maybe I'm wrong with this but in my movie he is just another side character.
and your leading man is........
BRIAN CARDINAL!
yes, I know you might be surprised
but think of my reasoning, he is a journeyman big guy who doesn't have any of the special skills that his teammates have. And through his own hustle and effort he gets important playing time in the finals to contribute to the team. (Don't forget this is Hollywood we are talking about, his looks don't matter too much, I think we could get away with casting George Clooney or even Will Smith!)

The only problem with this great blockbuster is that the antagonist's here are too generic. The Heat? 3 hated stars who even while losing mock the other players sicknesses, the team with the worst fans and have Pat Riley = clearly the devil as their leader. O Yea they where red and black. Come on no one is going to believe a team is that stereotypical evil.

The NCAA Overview



I know everyone gripes about the BCS so I will leave that alone (FOR NOW). But besides the BCS college has gotten most sports right, in basketball March Madness is amazingly perfect but I do think players should have to stay for at least two years not just one so there aren't as many busts in the NBA *coughGreg Odincough*. And also because this new rule would ultimately destroy John Calipari, which I think lots of people will be ok with. Also I understand they want more money (who doesnt?) but thank god they didn't expand the tournament to 96 teams. That would of been atrocious, I mean, the college basketball regular season is already not very important, making a 96 team tournament would of made the regular season as irrelevant as the plot of a porno.
College Football has produced some of the most entertaining games ever because of it's exciting overtime rules compared to the NFL where although close games are fun overtime sucks all the excitement out of it like taking notes during a movie. I'll get into NFL overtime some other time, but honestly, college football overtime is awesome. It is so well designed, that so many games are made great by double or triple overtime, Which if that happened in the NFL would suck because that means NO ONE WOULD BE SCORING. The best game I have ever seen live, and what I believe is the best football game of the 21st century, Oklahoma vs. Boise St. ended dramatically in overtime, and the greatness of the game was extended because of overtime whereas in the NFL overtime is just like "fuck lets end this game already" which isnt fitting at all!
College baseball gets less coverage but that is deserving because high school
players can be drafted and good college players won't stay for four years or even three. So the whole college baseball is system is just not right to get all commercial like football and basketball.
It's actually awesome to watch and really where the game is at its purest. College baseball is where the NCAA is truly at it's best, I'm not saying it doesnt pull some classic bullshit on players or teams like it always does but the experience of going to a college game is great, the fans are usually passionate and more supportive while being less drumk (some of the time). And enjoying the game is easier because these are kids that are playing the game for their team and because they love the sport. It is easier to cheer for them then some aloof star making 10 mil, while just coasting the year away until he can sign with a better team. So thank you NCAA for getting at least one sport (basketball) right, and not screwing up with another (baseball).
I could go into more college sports like lacrosse and hockey, and any womens sports, but I'll save that for another time. Especially because I really know nothing about those sports. I'm sorry. It's not my fault Sportscenter doesn't deem them interesting enough to cover at all.
That's it for now, give me your opinion, check out my other blog on movie reviews, and I'll try and keep regular updates. Now how are those brewers doing... fuck.
