In what was the last athletic role of note of his great Fictitious Athlete career, Wesley Snipes donned the gloves as a prison boxing star, who was undefeated in prison boxing. As his legitimate career was derailed by incarceration, Monroe Hutchen (Snipes) never had the chance to test his skills against the best; until we remember that this is a movie and the former Heavyweight Boxing champion of the world lands in the same penitentiary.

The lead singer of the Carver High Basketball team was not the most developed character on or off the court, but that was not what bothered us about Milton Reese. For us, it was that Reese looked like he was ten years older than everyone else (and was 28 when the show started). We know that Hollywood often casts late twenty-somethings as teenagers, but at least most of them are remotely passable.

Normally we will have issues when a sports film has no basis in reality, but with Shaolin Soccer, it was easy to overlook the absurd. This Hong Kong megahit became internationally successful, and was fun to watch regardless of whether you watched it in subtitles. As such, we are placing on the ballot the main star of the film, “Mighty Steel Leg” Sing, the leader a striker of Team Shaolin. It may not be a movie that you’ve seen, but those that have can attest that there is no other sports film like it.



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Shaolin Soccer (2001)

Actor:
Stephen Chow

Position Portrayed:
Striker

Played for:
Team Shaolin

Why you should vote for him:
We can honestly say that no other Fictitious Athlete performs the feats that this man did.

Why you should not vote for him:
It was not a huge hit in North America, and those same feats might be too preposterous for this Hall.

Did you know that all you have to do is put on a wig, and automatically you can pass for a girl? That was all that Jonathan Brandis had to do in “Ladybugs” to become one of our transvestite nominees for the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame. This wasn’t exactly the high point of anyone’s career who was in this movie, and if it was; well…doesn’t that say everything about that person’s body of work?



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Ladybugs (1992)

Actor:
Jonathan Brandis

Position Portrayed:
Striker

Played for:
The Ladybugs

Why you should vote for him:
We suppose that this is the best teen transvestite fictitious athlete of all time.

Why you should not vote for him:
This was a very weak role.
