The Top 40 Basketball Movies - #34 Heaven Is a Playground

The Top 40 Basketball Movies - #34 Heaven Is a Playground

Heaven Is a Playground

According to IMDB, Michael Jordan was supposed to star and instead tried suing him when the movie failed. Jordan instead countersued. So this is probably the only movie on this list that paid Mike and he didn't star in. Instead some NBA talent show up in the likes of Hakeem Olajuwon, Bo Kimble, Kendall Gill. I did recognize D.B. Sweeney from Spawn as he has some charisma to him. He gets threatened at the beginning of the movie but eventually becomes a coach/player to what I can only describe as a pick up court downtown. Supposedly it was a good book. I couldn't say much about the plot other than there was a potential star recruit that these adults were trying to protect. Our second Cylk Cozart appearance on this list, though I already can't remember who he played. Looks like my score differs even more from the Rotten Tomatoes audience score here compared to Hurricane Season. There was a neat one on one showdown at the end between the talented kid and could have been star player. I watched it for free somewhere, seemed low budget. It did interest me more than Hurricane Season, but not by much.

50 Favorite Adult Swim Characters

I tried to get a good variety and yet be fair to what I like the most. I'm sure there are one I've missed and some that might be surprising but if it aired on Adult Swim - I can use it. I didn't use any characters from either Robot Chicken or Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! as they are basically clip shows and while good, the re-occurring characters aren't used enough. Also, it turns out H. Jon Benjamin is the voice for half these shows. 50. Chains     Fat Guy Stuck in Internet 49. Assy McGee    Assy McGee H. Jon Benjamin plays the mayor. 48. The Mayor    Tom Goes to the Mayor A Picture of Jeff Goldbloom instead of the Mayor, but this was by far the funniest thing on the show. 47. Inuyasha    Inuyasha 46. Satan     Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil Wears Bill Cosby sweaters and is always trying to kill his daughters boyfriend DJ Jesus. Yeah... One of the H. Jon Benjamin voices...

My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (20-1)

My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (100-81) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (80-61) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (60-41) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (40-21) 20. Vexing Devil Giving an opponent a choice is never a good idea. However I really feel like it's win win here in the aggressive deck. A 4/3 for one will almost always be worth a card. So the real question is - is it worth a card to deal 4 damage for a red? It's not quite Flame Slash good in a control deck, or as great top deck as Thunderous Wrath but better than Thunderbolt or Lava Axe . 19. Scute Mob Not a true one drop. But by turn six hopefully you are going get a hydra-like insect that will quickly get insanely huge if not dealt with. My biggest issue is that it doesn't have trample. It's still a great costed creature that can do some work if unchecked. There are lots of ways to give it Trample in Green not named Rancor . 18. Dragonmaster Outcast And yet another non-true o...
