Channeling the Charles Barkley “I am not a role model” speech, Lewis Scott is the typical selfish me first basketball player, whose Utah Jazz are facing the Boston Celtics for the NBA Finals. So of course he is kidnapped by a pair of diehard Celtics fans (Daniel Stern and Dan Aykroyd) who believe that by keeping Scott out of the lineup, they can help their beloved Celtics win the title. Does hilarity ensue? Not really. Does the selfish Basketball player learn a lesson about teamwork? Of course he does…this is a Basketball movie after all! Although….didn’t Stephon Marbury kind of come to resemble Lewis Scott a bit? Just saying.

Although “Above the Rim” had the urban grit you would expect from a street ball film, it was a little cliché ridden and predictable. Nevertheless, any fault of the film could not lay with Duane Martin, who was a legitimate Basketball player in Division III, NYU, and thus looked the part of concrete playground and Georgetown bound, Kyle Lee Watson. The issue for Watson’s induction is that he was overshadowed by Tupac Shakur who dominated this film and rendered the man who should have been the star to the second tier.

Kenny Tyler sunk the three that helped the University of Washington that helped them win the National Championship; which was an impressive feat considering his dead brother and teammate whose ghost had helped Washington win several games prior to. We will let that sink in for a minute.
Now that you have thought this over, is there any chance that anything from this predictable tripe should enter the Hall?

Squeaking out of the Contributors category because he played the Point for the African tribe in the movie’s third act, we now have the opportunity to play “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” in the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame. As Jimmy Dolan, Bacon travelled to Africa to recruit what he thought would be a star player for his university where he was a coach. As always, Bacon did a fine job, but it was not a movie that had much of audience. We suspect that the only way Kevin Bacon makes our Hall is by actually playing the Six Degrees game.
