Uncle Drew
Juwanna Mann
Half of Rebound starring Martin Lawrence

that's all I can add



I like the way he calls a synopsis of a plot basically identical to many other movies plots 'crazy.' This movie is out of control! The hero encounters an obstacle and is forced to change!

Has anyone tried the VR enabled nba game thing

Yeah it’s not good. The cam is under the basket and at about waist height so it’s impossible to see things that are not near the basket which makes liveish games hard to follow and for the non-live stuff the games are so heavily edited and also only one end of the court that it makes it more like watching a collection of mediocre highlights and like maybe one dunk that is cool but you get a better view of from the cam behind the backboard usually.

Wasn't he the one guy Jordan wouldn't say poo poo to in practice?

In their first practice Parish hosed something up and Jordan started screaming at him like he was Will Perdue or one of the other stiffs he used to bully. Parish basically reminded him that he had rings too and said something like "I'm not as impressed with you as the rest of these people." Jordan said he was going to kick Parish's rear end, Parish said "no you won't" and that was the end of it.

It's kind of similar to the Bill Cartwright story where MJ tried to gently caress with someone much bigger and tougher than he was, that person told him to gently caress off unless he wanted to get his rear end kicked, and MJ never bothered him again.

I think even a hyper-competitive guy like Michael Jordan was smart enough to not gently caress around with a seven-footer who was known to be seriously into martial arts and was once part of a Celtics team that decided to intentionally clothesline a guy going in for a layup in order to stem the proverbial bleeding in an NBA Finals game.

BTW: Thanks everyone for the congrats on the baby. It's been a hell of a year here even by 2020 standards.

I always go to bat for the Sixth Man. It's silly in the sense that it's about a ghost of a former player who can interfere with the ball while also taking over the body of his former teammates. But actually it's not really silly at all when you realize it's about mourning (not Alonzo) and friendship.

Sounds like a fun premise. From Roger Ebert's review:

"I was out at the United Center last week for the big overtime contest between the Bulls and the Supersonics. Along with thousands of other fans, I was an instant expert, my eyes riveted on every play. If the ball had suddenly changed course in midair, do you think we would have noticed? What if a ball dropped all the way through the basket and then popped back up again? What if a player was able to hang in midair twice as long as Michael Jordan?"

Also, you all forgot Air Bud!

What I watched from the free stuff on PSVR was cool and not all under the basket, some of the action was shown from center court side seats. I thought they had a few full games and highlights packages. It needs a bit of work (like letting you select between the cameras) but I enjoyed what I saw. If I had a better VR headset, I would have used it a bit more.

What if . .. Morey resigned because he was told to trade James Harden?

I found some dark trades where the Rockets can nearly or completely get that money off their books.

Maybe I just had a bad pick of games. I have a theoretically better headset but all the NBA (and all mass market stuff, really) is formatted for the PSVR first, maybe the Rift Go2 and that's it.
