I honestly had no clue who that was. Had to google


There aren't a half dozen people outside of his agent and immediate family who do.

can’t tell you how fricking bummed I am he didn’t dunk in that clip after the steal. I thought for sure he was about to throw down.


Same it didn’t look like he’s the best “athlete” more like a guy that won with effort.

Sort of like a lunch pail kinda guy? First one in, last one to leave. A real gym rat.

Viggo was up for Lead so no. Ali was supporting. Both should have won though. Definitely my favorite movie on the year with by far the best acting

He has great range. Definitely not one of those guys who plays the same character over and over again.

There was an article about his basketball career that mentioned how he was known primarily as a defensive stopper.

I never knew that about him. Judging by that short clip, he looks like that guy who wasn't necessarily good, but was used as a high-energy scrappy player to be used in short spurts to give the team a boost. I can respect that.

I wonder if while in school, that was where he took up theater or something of that nature. Either way, he is now killing it as he is a multi-award winning actor.
