Let’s handle our business.

Rushmore of TV astronauts/spacemen, and man those fellas do attract the ladies, right? Even George Jetson’s wife was attractive — Steve Austin, Mork, James T. Kirk, Buck Rodgers.

Rushmore of Moses — Malone, if for the “Fo-Fo-Fo” quote before the 1983 NBA playoffs, Old Testament, Edwin and Grandma.

Rushmore of Matthew Broderick vehicles: “Ferris Bueller,” “The Lion King,” “War Games,” “Glory.” And that’s leaving “The Freshman” and the sneaky good and underrated “Election” on the cutting room floor. I was not as big a fan of “Cable Guy” however, but it does have a short-list contender for one of the great comedy basketball scenes ever, right there with “Soul Man” and “Along Came Polly.”
