Basketball, James Toback, and Al Franken. What could go wrong?

Harvard Man stars Adrian Grenier, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Joey Lauren Adams in a film about a Harvard student and star point guard for Harvard's basketball team. 

When his parents' house is destroyed by a tornado, Grenier inadvertently hooks up with the mob who agrees to give him the repair money if he throws his college basketball game. 

The plot takes an even more bizarre turn when our star drops too much acid and goes on a hallucinogenic journey longer than the movie. 

It's interesting to note that disgraced, allegedly serial abuser James Toback is the director who back in the early 2000s was still in demand and could command one helluva cast. In addition to Gellar and Grenier, Eric Stoltz, Rebecca Gayheart, and Al Franken, oddly playing himself, round out the star quotient. 

And what brings around the relevance is Milwaukee Bucks legend himself, Mr. Ray Allen, who is featured in this early 2000s basketball drama while he was still on the Bucks....

If you need to pass the time before the next inevitably unpredictable Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks battle, check out the long strange triple double that is Harvard Man.
