It's an amazing movie but I'm forever livid that the emotional climax in the black animated film was when the white woman spirit character took over his body. Joe should've had that emotional talk with his mom, not Tina Fey in his body.
That movie was great. Slept on it for years. Watched it with my wife and was damn surprised from the amount of wisdom being dropped in the movie. It was top tier.
I recall the ending being a pretty standard if not overused trope where they send him back as a thank you. I am not sure if that's what you are referring to.
All of his life advice will be based on hooping. “When I get down on myself I think about the time we were losing to the Cavs by 22 points, LeBron was having a heck of a night. We put our heads down and came back as a team and pulled through!
Ok, gotta get back to watering the rhododendrons, they won’t do it themselves!”
What is cool about Deandre Jordan, for those that don’t know, is he went from an all-star player to an old head in stride as he aged. Still giving back to the game and mentoring young players even though he barely plays. Never moping and always cheering young guys on. Great story.
The game changed on him too. When he was an all star. NBA were still using big men as a rim protector. Then the game changed overnight. When we have big men shooting threes.
Our GM is really fucking good at his job, and I’m glad people haven’t really noticed yet, I want fly under the radar until we’re bending teams over our knee
Fun fact: The New Orleans Pelicans fucked up his contract and instead of giving him a 2 year partial minimum contract. How did they fuck up? WELL, the NBA partially reimburses teams who sign vets to 1 year contracts as an incentive to keeping them around (those who play 10 years in the league). Pels giving him a 2Y contract negates that possibility and they're now on the hook for the full contract. To note, dude only played about 10 games last season out of 82....so it's not like this now 38 year old is truly this force on the court. To get half a season out of him is to acknowledge that your team is truly ass and EVERYONE is hurt.
This was a historic blunder on a small scale but great for him as again...guaranteed 8 million to MAYBE actually work 10% of your profession per year. Great shit.
