It's Showtime for Showtime (Lakers that is)

By now you should know that I grew up in LA. LA represents a few things for many people... Movie Stars, the Lakers/Dodgers/Kings, or cooter shots of Britney Spears. While there are many fantastic things about the city, let's stick with the first two points. Movies and the Lakers. Here's the premise: I'm casting stars to play in a movie about the Showtime Lakers, and I'm looking for current actors to play these amazing athletes. Imagine a blacked out arena, lasers flying around the GW Forum, and the starting lineup coming out of the tunnel... here is my cast (of course ignoring height requirements because we can:


Starting at Power Forward.... AC Green (played by Larenz Tate)




Starting at Small Forward.... James Worthy (played by Ice Cube)




At Shooting Guard.... Byron Scott (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.)




At Point Guard.... Magic Johnson (played by Denzel Washington)



At Center.... Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (played by Samuel L Jackson)




And your Coach.... Pat Riley (played by Michael Douglas)



And the crowd goes wild!!! Championship. Done. Blockbuster. Done?
