Bagger Vance
Can anyone really explain why this mysterious African American ghost gave a crap about the restoring the golfing confidence of some white guy in the early 1930’s?  

Bobby Finstock

Bobby FinstockWe almost completely forgot of the sage like advice of Coach Bobby Finstock. Actually, it is the advice you have to cling to if you want to vote for him, as for a Basketball Coach, he did not seem to offer anything to motivate his players, had no problem with forfeiting a game, and was probably more content to pick his nose than execute a pick and roll. He did however off this nugget of advice that everyone should live by:

“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.”

Now this is the type of advice that transcends the game of Basketball don’t you think?

         

The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Teen Wolf (1985)

Actor:
Jay Tarses

Role Portrayed:
Coach of the Deacon Beavers H.S. Basketball Team

Why you should vote for him:
Just for his outlook on life alone.

Why you should not vote for him:
How good could his overall won/loss record possibly be? Especially, when the “Wolf” isn’t playing?

Birdie

Birdie
The film may have been average, but in his supporting role Tupac Shakur did what he always did; steal the show. As the neighborhood gangster, “Birdie”, Tupac creates the moral dilemma for the film’s protagonist, but does his limited role offer enough for the Hall? Considering that when one often looks at the brief but powerful legacy of Tupac Shakur, “Above the Rim” is not usually among the top ten things thought of, we don’t think it looks good.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Above the Rim (1994)

Actor:
Tupac Shakur

Role Portrayed:
Gangster

Why you should vote for him:
For many, Tupac is a legend.

Why you should not vote for him:
Legend or not, the movie was not strong enough to have a serious inductee.

Billy Heywood

Billy Heywood
We were about to go into a diatribe about the idiocy of a twelve year old suddenly becoming an owner (and manager) of a Major League Baseball team, but come to think of it, Frank McCourt owning the Los Angeles Dodgers and the scenario behind that transpiring is far more ludicrous.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Little Big League (1994)

Actor:
Luke Edwards

Role Portrayed:
Owner and Manager of the Minnesota Twins

Why you should vote for him:
Well, the Twins did get better after he took over.

Why you should not vote for him:
The same team was legitimately earmarked for contraction years later, so how good an owner could Heywood have been?
