Boy Meets World Starting Five

This blog was inspired by one of the most enjoyable TV shows in the 90's, "Boy Meets World".  I thought it might be fun to pick a starting five from the show.  Each basketball position will get one character.  An "all first team" if you will.  We will explain why that character deserves the position. We welcome your mean, hateful (maybe nice?) comments as always! We'll start from the inside out.

At Center: Lonnie Boden

You remember Lonnie, right? The back woods chick that had Eric flustered for a while? She's tough as nails. She may not be the biggest center in the league, which is a huge negative, but I wouldn't mind her in the middle at all.  She'll dish out some lumps and bruises and maybe get out of some foul trouble with her looks.

At Power Forward: Alan Matthews

Alan was an all around great dad.  He had the love, he had the toughness, and was willing to do whatever he needed to do to support his family.  That's similar to a power forwards job (minus the love).  He flies under the radar, but he does does the dirty work that a lot of other people don't want to do for the better of the team. 

At Small Forward: Cory Matthews

This may be disappointing to some of you.  Most might see Cory as a point guard or shooting guard.  I had that same thought until I really thought about the position.  The small forward (the third and middle postion in the lineup) is the most versitile position on the floor.  He does a little bit of everything.  That's exactly what Cory did. He was a little bad, a little good, a little sad, a little happy, a good boyfriend, a bad boyfriend. Cory did it all and he experienced it all. He could play any position, and that's why he's our small forward.

At Shooting Guard: Shawn Hunter

Shawn is the flashy, good looking guy who gets all the girls.  That's very similar to the shooting guard.  Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and Lebron James (Considered a small forward, but is similar to a shooting guard) are all shooting guards and they usually get all the glory.  They specialize in scoring offense and are always at the top of the highlight real.

At Point Guard: George Feeny

Feeny is the brains of the operation.  He's the facilitator, the mastermind of the offense and a smart player. The seasoned point guard is wise. That's exactly what the point guard's job is.  Congratulations Fa ha ha ha heeeeeeny.
