I probably spent the most time on the basketball movie question. The main three I considered were He Got Game, White Men Can't Jump, and Hoop Dreams.

8. Blackjack (as the parent of a 5-year-old I was so tempted to go with "go fish" or "war" but decided on the adult game everyone knows)

I should do OK enough except for question 5. Don't know much about sheepology.

 

Nicely done, MM.

Meanwhile ... I knew the basketball question would cause me trouble.

Google "Basketball movie" and the first two that pop up are "He Got Game" and "White Men Can't Jump."

Oh, but "Hoop Dreams" is a great movie, I thought ...

 

Glory Road will be my one point answer this week. I was watching the CUSA Tournament when I was submitting my answers.

 

I think Basketball Diaries will be my one (or two) point answer this week.

For the Sam question, the first two that came to mind were Sam Malone and Yosemite Sam. I realized that neither of them would be a sheepworthy answer, Googled famous sams and one of the things that popped up was the top Family Feud responses to "name a famous sam" - and opted to go with Uncle Sam over Sam Adams.

 

I went with Chicago Fire, Space Jam and Poker.
