5 reasons why basketball fans should watch “The Clinic”

5 reasons why basketball fans should watch “The Clinic”

There’s actually a lot of sports in the series about doctors!

The time of self-isolation is though behind us, but the return of some sports remains only to wait and wait. The National Basketball League is scheduled to resume only on July 31, and the National Hockey League we will not see until the middle of next month. This summer will also pass without the Olympic Games. But you need something to occupy yourself with, and one of the options is to watch the longtime classic American TV series “Clinique”. We have collected five sports reasons for which it is worth looking at it from a new angle.

Basketball. There is more of it here than there is in the whole world right now

There is a lot of basketball in the TV series. In one of the coolest moments of the series, young Dr. J.D. is going to beat the surgeons. For the sake of it he dressed up and even put on special glasses. Alas, his team lost, even though it included Chad, a very tall guy whose head didn’t even fit in the frame!

Dr. Perry Cox is a Detroit Red Wings fan

Dr. Perry Cox is a crazy Red Wings fan. In times of crisis, he even wears a jersey with Chris Chelios’ last name on it. He has many such jerseys, so he willingly gives them away to his friends.

The situation is similar with the doctor’s other favorite team, the New York Giants. He also respects basketball, and believes that he himself – Perry Cox – is the best basketball player in history. In addition to basketball and hockey, the legendary doctor is also fond of baseball, but also considers the Boston Red Sox baseball team unworthy.

Nurse Laverne Roberts is not just a spectator

Nurse Laverne probably loves basketball more than anyone else on the show. She knows who from the clinic is the best at the game. Roberts often comes to watch the guys’ matches. In one of the series, she shows her level of play and puts the ball in the ring in a great jump.

Christopher Turk in the all-star match

Christopher is one of the most important basketball fans on the show. Only Laverne can compete with him. The performer of the role of Turk Donald Faison himself passionately supports the New York Knicks. Once the actor even took part in the NBA All-Star Game. And before shooting the new season of “Clinic” hired a personal basketball coach, thanks to which he significantly increased his level of play.

Resident Loni

Resident Loni plays basketball better than anyone else in the clinic. It was he who inflicted the only defeat on Turk when he tried to prove to Dr. Perry that he was black. And according to Nurse Roberts, Loney was the conference basketball player of the year as a member of Villanova University. So being the “whipping boy” for Cox, the resident not only knew how to play basketball cool, but also how to successfully study to be a doctor.
