2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Round 1

Kyle Lee Watson

TV Show/Movie Appeared: Above the Rim (1994)
Actor/Actress: Duane Martin
Position Portrayed: Guard
Played For:: Potentially Georgetown
Why you should vote:: He looked very believable in the role, which is not the norm for many of our fictitious athletes.
Why you should not vote:: As we mentioned, Tupac became the star; which makes him a difficult candicate.
Although “Above the Rim” had the urban grit you would expect from a street ball film, it was a little cliché ridden and predictable. Nevertheless, any fault of the film could not lay with Duane Martin, who was a legitimate Basketball player in Division III, NYU, and thus looked the part of concrete playground and Georgetown bound, Kyle Lee Watson. The issue for Watson’s induction is that he was overshadowed by Tupac Shakur who dominated this film and rendered the man who should have been the star to the second tier.
