1. Sean William Scott as Andy Roddick
He's got the frat boy mentality, athletic physique, and strikingly similar facial features. This combo is hard to pass up.
2. David Paymer as Jeff Van Gundy
It's much more rewarding to find a good match for sports figures who are different or odd-looking. Add the fact that Paymer already played a coach in The Sixth Man, and you have a stellar movie in the making. Plus, who doesn't want to see a movie about Jeff Van Gundy. The Alonzo Mourning incident would be a great turning point in the film.
3. Ron Jeremy as Stan Van Gundy
Nothing more needs to be said.
4. Kyle Chandler as John Stockton
He would have to lose 30 pounds and begin filming immediately. If that didn't work out, he could gain 60 pounds and play Alec Baldwin instead.
5. Denzel Washington as Magic Johnson
Bust out your ball sneakers from He Got Game, Denzel! They've both got the million dollar smile and trick photography can take care of the height disparity. Plus, Denzel would love to play this role (unless a role for Jackie Robinson came up first).
Check out a picture of Danny Granger ... Denzel could totally pull that off.
ReplyDeleteOr what about Bill Bellamy doing the Luther Head story????
ReplyDeleteBellamy/Head is a great one. Plus it would be a sweet story, if it focused mainly on his experiences at the U of I. Chris Cooper could play Bruce Weber, and Rob Brown (Finding Forrester) could play Aaron Spears.
ReplyDeleteAlso Martin Lawrence could play Luther's estranged father and provide the comic relief.
