10 Most Irritatingly Improbable Sports Movies

So you're probably thinking, "Wow, the movie about a werewolf is improbable? That's some pretty low-hanging fruit." But slow your roll. It isn't the concept of werewolves that makes this movie unbelievable, and that isn't what's worth complaining about here.

The most unbelievable thing about this movie is not that Michael J. Fox is a werewolf, it's that Michael J. Fox, professional tiny person, is on his high school basketball team. He is 5' 5" with lifts on, and he's not exactly Muggsy Bogues.

Clearly the only thing that makes him good at the sport is when he goes full wolf, but like...why? Is being a good basketball player a common werewolf trait that the world has just been ignoring all this time?

Fine, expand on the mythos if you want to, get creative with it, but there is no logical reason why having wolf genes would give you better free throws or help you slam dunk.

On the TV show it sort of makes sense, because the teen wolf plays lacrosse so he's sort of just faster, stronger, and more aggressive, but wolves don't exactly have an amazing vertical leap or anything.
