Leave It to Charles Barkley to Drop a Teenwolf Reference

Charles Barkley Loves His TeenwolfDuring the first round of the 2002 Western Conference playoffs, the Seattle Sonics were trailing the San Antonio Spurs two games to one in the best-of-five series. The Sonics would respond with a Game Four thumping of the Spurs, which were without superstar Tim Duncan, who was tending to the death of his father.

Anyways, Gary Payton and the Sonics would annihilate the Spurs before losing in five games. Providing some levity after Game Four, Charles Barkley would rattle off one of his greatest one-liners on TNT’s Inside the NBA. Not taking too much stock in San Antonio’s loss, Barkely opinioned that “the Spurs could have had Teenwolf tonight and would have still lost.”

Teenwolf is Reminiscent of Another Hairy #42, Khalid El-AminIn the second time in eight days, late night writing has resulted in the stumbling-upon of a television airing of this classic eighties movie starring Michael J. Fox, whose family has a history of turning into a werewolf for no explicable reason. Anyways, Fox realizes he’s a werewolf and then uses his surprisingly amazing basketball skills, whether it be the 360 dunk, a Domininque Wilkins like windmill, a nasty reverse or a somersault slam, to rally his awful high school basketball team to the championship game, which it naturally wins.

Anyways, watching Teenwolf running the point guard while donning a gold, number-42 uniform is quite a scene and testament to just how bad the movie’s special effects and makeup truly was. With that said, it’s still an enjoyable movie to say the least, especially the premise that Fox would have any basketball skills at all.
