Calvin Stadiums and the Fictional NBA

by Brian on November 18, 2009

in LeBron James, NBA, WSM?

Who Shot Mamba(Obviously these covers were done long before the Celtics won that NBA title thingy.

Also, the Scoop Jackson case is officially (and gloriously) closed in Chapter 3.

That statement on the mag is a parody of times long past, so don’t get all ca-razee.)

Tomorrow’s Chapter 3 of Who Shot Mamba? sees the in-story debut of Calvin Stadiums, what one might call the film’s “unofficial adaptation of Gilbert Arenas”.

If you’ve read Prelude to a Who Shot Mamba?, you know that we actually pursued Gilbert to play Calvin, which ultimately didn’t happen.

I’ve felt this was for the better – Dylan Mooney is amazing as Calvin, and it really makes the character much more the property of the film.

Now, before settling on Calvin, some other fictionalized versions of past and present players were considered.

Mock artwork and domain names were even registered for many of the following, just in case.

Jeffery Michaels
Henry Ruffers (See his DUNK cover by clicking here.)
Kody O’Bryan
LeFrank Jones
TJ Potato
Nick Dirkowski
Lance Marker
Mason Lipp

Can you guess who they are? Feel free to offer up some of your own, as well.

    In a parallel universe, Joe Bryant went and played in Ireland, not Italy, and young Kody O'Bryan grew up speaking with an Irish accent as a wee little lad.
