I just thought that maybe he didn't have the prestige boost of being from an established school. Like if you're from Kentucky, even if you don't look great, you still get a chance at the second round at worst. Maybe. I'm not into the NCAA. Just trying to work things out. I'm not the one who thinks he should really have gone much higher. Klay though. His school looked like it sucked and he got picked higher. I guess being able to shoot counts for more. That was the knock on Kawhi. He had a very simple offensive game coming out and no one saw him becoming the monster that he is. I forget the exact details. but there was some complications during the offseason he got drafted in, so the Spurs just gave him a coaching tape and all he did until they could play was work on his outside jumper. Seems to have paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingintheNorth4 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Scottie's dunk on Ewing in the 94 semis is still one of the most disrespectful dunks that I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still send that gif to my Knick fan friends often. All different angles and everything. It never gets old... to me. I didn’t enjoy MJ’s passive aggressive shot at Uconn Men’s hoops. They win their first title the year after, jerk! Poor Scott Burrell too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say though that while I'm watching it I am really not impressed with this doc. I'm very entertained by it since there's good footage and interviews and these were my formative years of watching NBA. But in terms of the story they're telling, the order they're putting it in, how much they tell you the tale of any individual game, etc...it's incoherent and kind of garbage. I think one could be sort of lulled into liking it because it's a mashup of plenty of cool interview clips and highlights. The time flies by. But the people who made it should not be proud of what they've done. Only the footage they've assembled. I'm enjoying it, but imdb has it at 9.3 currently and I dont see how its anywhere near that score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because everyone likes the swearing and it's the only sports thing to watch? People probably also like that he's opening up a little bit, even if he's just showing you a crack. I think at one point he was legitly the most famous person in the world. And yet, none of us would ever want to be him. Odd duality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first week, I didn’t know there was an edited version running at the same time on ESPN2. So I let the nine year old stay up to watch. I told him beforehand there would be language, he isn’t to repeat it, blah blah blah. Later that week, my wife finds out about the clean version and suggests that we watch that instead for the second and subsequent weeks. I told her we could, but I really didn’t think he paid much attention to the swearing. Flash forward to the Sunday of eps 3 and 4. The family is having dinner in the car at Sonic and she asks him if he enjoyed The Last Dance and was looking forward to watching it again. First thing out of his mouth “Yeah, they cussed a lot momma.” Okay... we’ll watch the edited version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Speaking of the edited version, they bleeped it out when Jordan called Scotty Burrell a ho. Was hilarious because I couldn’t figure it out for a second, because they bleeped it out at the end of a sentence where it sounded like he was saying bitch. But the subtitle ended the sentence “h*” Guess I didn’t realize we had to edit the name of common garden utensils now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Game of Zones is knocking it out of the park with these last few episodes. Barkley's Sun-Kings as Angola quote is fantastic, as is the James Harden ice cream helmet. Also Jokic has the jokes, finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really are a fucking asshole to say that about another Knicks fan. Or another decent human being really. Still arguably better than Snyder though. Marginally.

Ramsay B. Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I guess Joe Benigno from WFAN recently had a NCAA-style Bracket of Pain, featuring all different moments of sports agony.

I also didn't know he came from such an academic background. Kerr probably came off better than anyone. And it's a good life lesson to see how Jordan respected him when he was willing to stand up for himself and fight. On another note, Jerry Sloan has passed away. A true legend. Rest in power!
