Re: Why is bball so fake/bad in shows and movies
I always appreciated that John Krasinski at least appeared to have played basketball at some point in his life. Some of his moves are still awkward and stunted, but it doesn't look like it's the first time he's played: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B7BYHKiyig
Also, I heard the character who plays Kevin (Brian Baumgartner, seen at the end of the clip above) was the most athletic guy on that set.
And I've heard Steve Carrell may have played hockey in high school

^^ Yeah in the Threat Level Midnight episode of the office I remember they had a whole scene of Carrell showing off his hockey skills. You can definitely tell he played

Even when the show, like CSI, is about a basketball star...the scenes for hoops of the "star players" are just cringe worthy bad. Anybody else get annoyed by this?
You know man, I am glad I aint the only one feeling like that. I was watching a movie yesterday and the peeps shooting form was so horrible that I wondered where in America did those folks grow up that they dont even have a form that looks at least decent.
Grown men on TV chucking the ball like a 5 year old, see it all the time. Also those flying dunks

Re: Why is bball so fake/bad in shows and movies
What really salts my onions is when actors walk around with the basketball instead of dribbling it. Cringe-worthy.

Decent college freshman
Re: Why is bball so fake/bad in shows and movies
Let's be honest.
Movie with good actors who suck at bball > Movie with good bball players who can't act.
Yeah Ray Allen looked fluid in the bball scenes but if it weren't for Denzel that movie starts drifting towards unwatchable territory.

Re: Why is bball so fake/bad in shows and movies
The flying dunks are probably the worst aspect of it. I already saw Spider man and Catwoman mentioned, and those are two of the worst ones I've seen. And if you've ever seen a basketball scene in an Indian movie, it's just cringe-worthy. They can barely dribble.

Re: Why is bball so fake/bad in shows and movies
And basketball scenes aren't even the worst offender. If you've seen any movies with "hacking" involved, you know what I mean.

I don't know why these writers think hacking is about typing at 100+ wpm with Windows popping up from every which direction. And then they show some fancy device that they use to bypass the password system.
