Billy Hoyle
Billy Hoyle
You're Billy Hoyle from "White Men Can't Jump." Woody brought his A-game for this, and you appreciated it. You don't take crap from anyone and have a possibly self-destructive edge to your personality. But your game's never in question. You prefer your significant other to bring the noise as well.
Jesus Shuttlesworth
Jesus Shuttlesworth
You're Jesus Shuttlesworth from "He Got Game." Ray Allen's on-screen depiction lands in your wheelhouse. You do not trust anyone except those who have really earned it. Even family members sometimes get the brush-off. But your game's worth it. Your visible brooding persona can help your on-court edge. So what if you can't get along with co-workers? And you're a lights-out shooter, baby.
Scott Howard
Scott Howard
You are Scott Howard from "Teen Wolf." Not whatever the MTV show is; this is the Mike Fox version. The one who transforms from ordinary high school player to Nebraska-wide sensation once the wolf comes out. Your friends and co-workers know your mood swings well, and like Howard's teammates, embrace them. They make everyone better. You may go for the high-end blonde, but know the heart-of-gold friend is best deep down.
Monica Wright
Monica Wright
You are Monica Wright from "Love and Basketball." So you think girls can't ball? Sanaa Lathan's work opposite Omar Epps managed to out-sports the king of the sports movie, and your dedication to your craft mirrors Monica's. Even if it comes across as a personality defect at times, what you derive passion from is worth it in the end. You can get to the basket anytime you want, and of course L.A. is the place to play.
Jimmy Chitwood
Jimmy Chitwood
You're Jimmy Chitwood from "Hoosiers." You know the best movies are underdog stories. Well, Jimmy threw a wrench into that, arming Gene Hackman's squad with a Steph Curry-esque shooter. Your jumper may not be quite what Jimmy's was, but you can make a difference out there. And you don't need to brag about it. Your opponents know what the deal is. And take a trip to Indiana sometime. You'd probably like it. They love ball there.
Bugs Bunny
Bugs Bunny
You are Bugs Bunny from "Space Jam." So, yeah, Bugs was probably the third-best player on his own team, behind Michael Jordan and Lola Bunny. But who keeps that team together when things are going bad against the Monstars? That'd be you. Your personality can unite others toward greatness, even if your game can't quite get there.
