Along with thousands of other fans, I was an instant expert, my eyes riveted on every play. I was out at the United Center last week for the big overtime contest between the Bulls and the Supersonics. I'm talking about the details of the game. Is there a basketball fan alive who could fall for this premise? I'm not talking about the ghost-that's easy to believe. Presumably “The Sixth Man” is intended to appeal to basketball fans. He deflects the ball, tips in close shots, gives a boost to the Huskies and trips up their opponents, and soon the team is in the NCAA playoffs. And eventually Antoine returns to the court as an invisible sixth man on the Huskies team. Kenny is crushed, and the Huskies embark on a losing streak until, one day at practice, Kenny throws the ball into the air and it never comes back down again.Īntoine, of course, has returned, this time as a ghost that only Kenny can see. Antoine dunks the ball, falls to the court, and dies of heart failure on the way to the hospital.
