So who's your sports Magnificent Seven?

Lockout related thread....well maybe not for me, but probably for you

Let's say you have to defend a small village from bandits and the only 7 guys you can recruit have to come from sports. Who ya got?

Let me think. I got

Tim Tebow   - in the role of Chico
Tedy Bruschi - in the role of Bernard
Wes Welker - In the role of Chris
Troy Polomalu - In the role of the guy that doesn't talk with the knife
Ndamaka Suh - In the role of the guy always after the money
Tim Thomas - In the role of Steve McQueen
Blake Griffin - In the role of the coward

Trying to consider if Derek Jeter makes it in there.  Maybe Dwight Howard. Rajon Rondo? We might need his quick draw. Tom Brady? The more charmed people we get in there the better.

Oooooh oooohhh oohhhh.


And Bill Russell as the old man who refuses to come into the village and they were like "We're farmers. We don't know how to kill"  and he was like "Learn"

I guess the farmers daughter would have to be like Serena Williams or Danica Patrick or something.

The villain can be......David Stern.  "Can men like us worry about farmers like them?"  Chilling.

I want that autistic kid that made all those shots - Jason McElwain - as one of the kids that keeps telling Bernard he will put pretty flowers on his grave. I can't think of lots of other sports kids. I think Freddy Adu is old now. Maybe Barry Bond's kid....you know...the bat boy that almost got run over.  And in a slight twist that hockey manager with down syndrome from I think Pheonix that everyone loves as the other "kid".

I'm not sure about the roles, but if you need 7 guys to defend a village I'd go with:

1. Charles Oakley
2. Anthony Mason
3. Rick Mahorn
4. Bill Laimbeer (Pre-Robert Parish, lol) J/K Bill I love ya.
5. Maurice Lucas
6. Dave Cowens
7. Charles Barkley (Any man who'd go after Shaq gets a vote
   from me).
Backup: Ray Lewis

That's a really good list. A couple guys in there that would punch their mothers in the face for a rebound.

I'm beginning to think of Lebron in the role of coward and maybe Duncan in the role of the guy who doesn't talk with the knife

Roger Goodell as the villain's right hand man...he had like 3 lines

[indeedproceed]

Chris: Paul Pierce (no homer). Gotta be an older charismatic guy, that while he might not be the quickest gun or the toughest puncher, he's smart enough to know what he's doing.

Vin (McQueen): He's harder. I'd say Kevin Durant if he were older would be a lock here, or Ray Allen if he were younger. Steve Nash. Funny guy, skilled, won't have a problem riding shotgun.

Harry: Zach Randolph. 2 words, fark you, pay me. Too paranoid and not enough going on upstairs to see past the bottom line, but too good to turn away.

Bronson: Kevin Garnett. This frankly needs no explanation.

Lee (the fugitive): Carmelo Anthony. You know he's too nice with it to tell him to go away, and at the same time, Melo has been running from something his whole life. He'll never tell tho, cuz snitches get stitches, and wide brimmed glasses.

Britt (the tall knife guy): Ah, now we have a place for Kevin Durant. Quiet, deadly, too skinny. Durantula.

Chico: Nate Robinson. Young, too excitable, but you can't doubt his heart.
