I Blame Spike Lee For This

Ok, so if you watched even a second of the NBA playoffs you couldn’t get away from the commercials for Spike Lee’s ‘Kobe Doin’ Work’ documentary. IMDB says that the documentary follows Kobe through a day of the NBA playoffs when the Lakers were playing the Spurs (I dont hate myself enough to actually watch this – Just kidding, mostly).

So, immediately after that I hear about LeBron James’ documentary ‘More Than a Game’ (And yes, I know this was actually made before Spike Lee’s Kobe joint). Now, I haven’t watched James’ movie either, but according to IMDB it’s at least 2 whole stars out of 10 better than Kobe’s.

Well, now Dwight Howard has decided he’s feeling left out (Why, Dwight? At least you were in the finals). The Big Lead has turned me on to a Page 6 story which states Howard is gonna be the next one to hit the big screen. Apparently the movie is called “Switch”  and the basic synopsis is that “a white, unathletic, unpopular high-school freshman . . . swaps basketball skills with Howard.”

How do you burn an hour or two showing an unathletic, unpopular white kid turning it over in the paint and missing free throws? Thats the director’s problem.
