Athlon drafts sports movies pick for pick
Transcript
00:00We are drafting the best sports movies. First overall pick, I'm going to go with Miracle.
00:04Miracle on Ice, no doubt. I'm going to take Rocky with the second overall pick.
00:09Okay, okay. I'm going full Kevin Costner back-to-back. I'm going Field of Dreams and
00:15Boulder on back-to-back. Give me those, and I'm super happy with the rest of my draft.
00:19Wow, I have a Kevin Costner movie in mind, but it's not one of those.
00:22And it's high on my board. It's high on my board, the one that's left.
00:26If we're thinking just casting a wide net for what is a sports movie,
00:30I'm going to go with The Big Lebowski next as my next pick.
00:33That's fine, yeah.
00:34Big Lebowski, I guess it's a bowling movie?
00:36Yeah, it's bowling.
00:37I'd allow it. Yeah, I'll allow it.
00:39Okay, my next pick, I'll go with Adam Sandler, Longest Yard. Shout out to Cheeseburger Eddie.
00:44Big fan of that movie.
00:45That movie has a grasp on people.
00:48It has a whole cult following on everybody.
00:51I'll go with another Gavin O'Connor movie. I'll go with Warrior. It's the two brothers.
00:55There's Tom Hardy and Joel Egerton, UFC movie. Big fan of that movie.
01:00All right, I'll go with one of my favorite comedies of all time, generally, Major League.
01:04Oh, it's a great movie.
01:05I'm going to keep going baseball. I'm going to double dip on baseball.
01:07I'm going to go A League of Their Own and The Sandlot.
01:10You're going classic.
01:11I've got to get these off the board first. If they're there, I can't pass them up.
01:15All right, my next pick, I'm going with a true underdog story, Dodgeball.
01:18That was a great one.
01:20Love that movie.
01:21Amazing.
01:23My fourth overall pick, I'll go with, for the love of the game, Kevin Costner.
01:29He's an older pitcher about to be on his way out, and I think he throws a perfect game.
01:33And for my last pick, you guys may have not seen this.
01:36It's called The Sixth Man.
01:37It's with one of the Wayne's brothers.
01:39He plays for Washington Huskies basketball.
01:42Best player dies.
01:43He comes back as a ghost, a.k.a. the sixth man on the floor.
01:46They make a Final Four run.
01:47That is a very underrated sports.
01:49Never seen it.
01:50Got to see it now.
01:50That sounds dope.
01:52I think with my last pick, I'm going to go with just an absolute classic sports movie.
01:57When you think of sports movie, I think of this one.
01:58Remember the Titans.
01:59Strong.
02:00Strong.
02:01Yeah.
02:01Unreal movie.
02:02But I'm going to take Mighty Ducks.
02:03Ooh, nice.
02:05Very formative years of childhood, watching a bunch of kids play hockey and be awesome.
02:09I was 20 minutes into that movie, and then I was back in the kitchen with really slick
02:13socks on, skating around and pretending to play hockey 20 minutes into it.
02:17Very, very formative movie.
02:19Love that.
02:20D2 was great, too, but the original is still the best.
02:22God damn, T1 at one time.
02:25Woman, him.
02:26I'm doing it alien.
02:27Oh, my God.
02:27espera.
02:28You see this one in the backstate?
02:29That would be fine.
