Being a fan of comedic movies, it is tough to pick just one as my favorite. When it comes down to it, though, I would have to pick the one that I find the most hilarious: The Other Guys. This movie could be watched countless times and still be funny. The Other Guys really represents the type of humor that I like being as it is more of a goofy, immature type of comedy.

If you're a 6-foot tall point guard, opportunities for success in the NBA are limited. Most NBA executives think using a high draft pick on a player of short stature is a losing proposition.
