Ollie
Jimmy Chitwood may be the one who gets the votes here on the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame, but it was the pint sized Ollie who may have had the most memorable scene in the film where he sank two free throws to win a pivotal game. Watching his nerves in a hostile environment (shooting underhand no less) stuck out far more than any shot Chitwood made. He couldn’t have been more than 5’5’’ but he was proof of the team dynamic and focus on fundamentals that Coach Norman Dale taught small Hickory High.
