This past week, in between marathon sessions of NBA 2K17, I decided to re-watch one of my favorite movies as a kid: “Space Jam”. Something struck me as I was watching the movie for the 100th time: the Monstars team was horribly constructed. It featured two centers, two power forwards, and the shortest player in NBA history. No wonder they lost to a Michael Jordan led team when they had no wing defenders to guard him.
The Nerdlucks (the name of the alien species) went to NBA games, disguised in Dr. Who’s scarf, looking for the best basketball talents in the world.
