Austin Ames

The movie cost 19 million to make and then ended up bringing in roughly 70 million worldwide.

And if you somehow don't remember the plot, Hilary Duff plays Sam, Chad Michael Murray plays Austin Ames, and Austin Ames happens to be the star quarterback, which means Chad Michael Murray has to convince us that he is a quarterback.

Let's see if he can.

All right, here we go.

And you have these moments in this business where you have these conversations.

I had one with Austin Ames last year, um, on the bench in Dallas where he said something to me and I was like, "Oh my gosh, this is like one of those most telling conversations I've had You have these moments, you remember them like they're life, they stay with you forever.

And that was my Kenny Anderson like, oh, this is how it works.

Every guy's out for his own thing to get himself paid, get himself established, and then he can worry about winning.

This is not unusual to the NBA.

But this is how the NBA works.

So when Austin Ames says with J.P. Chunga and Eric Spiropoulos on the Utah Jazz YouTube page in a short little interview they did the other day, well, now we can worry about winning.

Now we can play to win.

By high school, all the girls were starting to realize how handsome he was.

Boy next door, cowboy, black hair, Austin Ames, all in one.

He was also the nicest.

Thank you for the visual.
