Now let us get this right.\u00a0 I know that the person that I am going to suggest is currently not an actor, but watching him for almost ten years on the court and in press conferences, this great talent on the hardwoods could pull it off.<span id=\"fbPhotoSnowliftCaption\" class=\"fbPhotosPhotoCaption\" tabindex=\"0\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\"><span class=\"hasCaption\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0My choice?
