...concerns top spy Alex Scott’s (Wilson) mission to recover the United States’ classified prototype stealth jet fighter, the Switchblade, from nasty illegal arms dealer Arnold Gundars (Malcolm McDowell). Foiling his evil plan becomes more complicated, however, when Scott is paired with the pompous Kelly Robinson (Murphy), a boxing champion and civilian who has some helpful connections. Though it is possible that director Betty Thomas of Doctor Dolittle fame will take unexpected dramatic turns, I Spy will probably be hailed by “top critics” as an exciting mix of action and laughs...

The NBA is in a strange state right now, where past stars Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, John Stockton and David Robinson continue to share the spotlight with now veteran All-Stars Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan.

Or Pete Gray, who lost an arm in childhood yet still played a year in the majors. Or some schmo with average skills...
