As we discuss all of the Fictitious Athletes, we have a candidate from a fictitious sport. Matt Stone and Trey Parker gave us BASEketball, the hybrid of HORSE, Baseball, Basketball and trash talking; all in a post Generation X Slacker world. Stone played Doug Remer, slacker turned athlete, and the kind of guy you wanted to hang around with in high school. He was a bit of the sidekick in the film, but his mini transformation to sports diva was equal part satire and hilarity. That may be good enough for a lot of people.

The idea that Doug Dorsey (D.B Sweeney) could easily transition from Hockey to Figure Skating may be laughable, but this is Hollywood, where this is possible. Actually, we can’t imagine any Hockey player doing this transition, or even wanting to.

Is Tim Conway pretending to be a very short person that funny? Granted we may not think so, but we laughed every time at the shenanigans of Super Dave Osbourne, so what do we know?

Derice Bannock was the leader (and inadvertent killjoy on occasion) of the Disney version of the 1988 Jamaican Bobsled team. Although we know this was hardly a representation of what really happened, we did love the drive and love Bannock had to compete in the Olympics. It was not the most heroic sports character of all time, but in some ways it was among the purest. That should be worth something.
