Booyah 90s Sports. March 27, 1992: the most significant day in the history of sports movies. Rodney Dangerfield made Jonathan Brandis wear a wig to dominate girls' soccer in Ladybugs. D.B. Sweeney & Moira Kelly united hockey and ice skating to achieve Olympic glory in The Cutting Edge. And Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes talked trash, no-look passed, and hustled their way through the LA streetball scene in White Men Can't Jump. This week on Booyah, we're talking about childhoods full of racism, dunking, gambling addiction, Jeopardy!, and one of the best basketball movies of all time. And Rosie Perez.
