Whoopi Goldberg — with the ultimate basketball comedy: Eddie (1996). It’s the perfect Saturday feature for Knicks fans, sports lovers, and anyone who’s ever dreamed of taking over the Garden.

🎬 BlackTree TV Presents: Saturday Afternoon Movies of the Week

New York is buzzing — the Knicks are headed to the Eastern Conference Finals, and we’re celebrating with a throwback that’s as funny, heartwarming, and New York as it gets. This week’s Saturday Afternoon Movie is Eddie (1996), starring the one and only Whoopi Goldberg as a Knicks superfan who gets the ultimate courtside upgrade: head coach.

📽️ Feature Presentation: Eddie (1996)

Whoopi Goldberg stars as Edwina “Eddie” Franklin, a diehard Knicks fan who wins a contest to be honorary coach for a day — only to find herself suddenly in charge of the actual team. With no professional experience but a whole lot of attitude, street smarts, and love for the game, Eddie takes a ragtag group of overpaid egos and turns them into a real team.

Packed with NBA cameos, fast-talking New York energy, and Whoopi at her comedic best, Eddie is part sports movie, part underdog comedy, and all heart.

🎭 About the Cast & Crew
• Whoopi Goldberg: At the peak of her 1990s stardom, she brings her signature sass and heart to a role made for her.
• Frank Langella: As the shady team owner who underestimates Eddie’s love for the game.
• Dennis Farina and a squad of hilarious players — including appearances by real NBA legends like John Salley, Rick Fox, Malik Sealy, and more.
• Directed by Steve Rash (The Buddy Holly Story, Can’t Buy Me Love) with a perfect balance of slapstick and sincerity.

🏀 For the Knicks Fans in the Building

This movie is a love letter to the New York Knicks, and it couldn’t be more fitting to revisit right now. Whether you’re rooting from the Garden or the couch, Eddie reminds us that heart, hustle, and a little bit of trash talk can take you all the way.
