    RYNO, basketball movie critic, picks best bball movie of all time

    http://deadspin.com/ryan-anderson-br...ium=socialflow

    On why he had White Men Can't Jump go all the way to the final: "Me being a white man that can't jump, it just makes sense to me."


    On why Space Jam wins the bracket: "At the end of the day, they're trying to fight for the greater good. They're fighting for humanity."
    "The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin

    Worked on Glory Road and helped my friend get the job as DP on Thunderstruck. Glad to see they made the list

    White Men Can't Jump wins all. Wesley Snipes/Woody Harrelson/Rosie Perez triumphs EVERYTHING!

    Love the way Ryno misspells "Eddie".

    Love & Basketball vs. White Men Can't Jump is a helluva a first round matchup.

    NEVER, EVER, question the Ryno. His confidence is at an all time high and 3 pt shooters are all about confidence. I agree 100% with Ryno. Always. (Having said that, my favorite is Hoosiers. Was Jimmer on that team?)

    On Space Jam: "Number one, Bill Murray's in it. Forget about Michael Jordan for a second."

    My favorite movie on that list is finding forrester, but that's not really about basketball. Best basketball movie is easily Hoosiers.

    Honestly, he's a funny guy and all, but he's getting paid millions to be a professional athlete. I'd rather see him spend time squatting and doing cardio, trying to lose some of that flab, than write articles.

    He really kind of annoys me, proudly agreeing with the thought that "white men can't jump". The genetic profiles among individuals in the US in particular aren't as black or white as people tend to believe. Don't tell any of that to ryan anderson though, he just wants to do food columns in every city he visits and not exert himself too much.

    Sorry. I know he's a fan favorite, but he blocked me for questioning his defense on twitter and I think he's a bit of a wuss.

    A pro basketball player who always talks about his hairline, the Walking Dead, lunches, how many instagram followers he has, being a hypocritical christian, etc. on twitter. Softest guy on the team.

    Just found out that both of the films I'm working on this fall will be shooting in the arena. GeoStorm on Tuesday and Daddy's Home (Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg) some time in December

    Obviously you aren't bias on the subject at all.

    I agree. I want my team to be composed of illiterate barbarians who eat steel and crap bullets. But when people criticize them on social media they respond calmy and collected. Thats how I know theyre not soft. As we all know, anime avatars are for us tough guys and only the most cut throat tough guys have ever succeeded in basketball.

    Would you call Ernest Hemingway an illiterate barbarian? No. He was just a man. The NBA is a man's game and i'm fine with some warmhearted sentiments, but i haven't seen ANY fire in RYNO.

    Your missing the point. No one values you opinion on the topic of Ryno because you are clearly forming opinions that have been skewered by your experiences with him.

    The entire basis of hating on him in this thread is a fallacy. The truth is basketball is a game and all kinds of people play it. Ryno is obviously successful given the amounts of money he has made and will make, so hating on HOW he plays as if it is wrong is not justified.
