Greatest Fictional Athlete in a Sports Movie ?

Because you've got me riled up and just because I now want to get Rodney in here somehow..........

Chester Lee - Ladybugs (1992)



Edit:
I now want to get Rodney in here somehow..........

I meant other than for Caddyshack where he would have lost to other main characters since he had Danny play for him after "hurting" his arm

 

well Martha was the star of that team until it was proven she was a boy and not a girl! sadly that actor committed suicide years ago at the height of his fame.

 

Can he do a triple lindy though?

 

Maybe.....Chester Lee.....Thornton Melon....Al Czervik are actually the same person?

 

Gus Sands bet against it.

 

The hell you say.......

 

If we're sticking to strictly sports movies and more believable stories.....Roy Hobbs has my vote.

He woulda been a Cub if that lunatic didn't shoot him.

 

and a pitcher too. on the train, his mentor, the old man, tells Robert Duvall he had 7 no hitters the past season !

 

Would you disqualify Kurt Russell as Dexter Riley in The Strongest Man In the Word (1975) for using PED's?

 

Has Lincoln Hawk been mentioned?

 

I don't care if this list is for movies...

Kenny Fucking Powers

 

It all depends if arm wrestling is really considered a sport?

 

i never considered Over the Top a sports movie.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arm_wrestling

Arm wrestling is a sport involving two participants.

 

Two men enter......one man leaves

 

isnt the movie about stallone bonding with his son, who was kept from him, by his ex father in law, after the mother of the boy tragically dies young?

 

Yes.

But it’s also about arm wrestling.

By this logic Major League is about an aging man with fidelity problems trying to rekindle a romance with his ex wife.

 

Isn’t bull Durham about some nymphomaniac trying to fuck the brains out of as many minor league players as she can? We shouldn’t list that as a sports movie either.

 

Agreed.

Field of Dreams is about the afterlife and father/son relationships.
