<br>
Yep. They're brilliant.<br><br>
Haven't seen that one, but have seen about 5-6 others about basketball. I'll look out for it. The one about the guy who was picked ahead of Jordan (Sam Bowie) is also great. Fark they're all really good. -

<p>Reggie vs Spike Lee. I remember watching that at the time when Reggie "suggested" that the Knicks were choking.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OKC has weathered the start from GSW in the 1st Q. The refs are certainly favouring the home team with their calls. The 2nd foul on Adams was total BS.</p> -

<p>Yeah we complain about home town refs in Rugby, but basketball takes it to another level.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I remember the breakers complaining that our refs were too fair compared to when they played on the road</p> -

<p>at the Taipans our hometown ref fucking hates us. Shits me we miss out on that advantage. He's supposed to give us the 50/50s, not actively give them to the other side!</p> -
<p>GSW opening up a bit of a gap here.</p>
-
<p>GSW weren't going to go down without a fight. I still like OKC to win game 6 BUT they need to win it. If the series goes to game 7 then GSW wins.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Adams was reasonably quiet due to early foul trouble. Bogut was more influential in this game.</p> -

Once Brothers (the Vlade Divac and Drazen Petrovic story)</p></blockquote>I forgot those. The Bias one is ok but the Divac one is excellent -

Have been smashing some excellent ESPN basketball docos recently. One of them is about Christian Laettner. That shot he made has got to be one of the most incredible things you could see in sports. Astonishing:<br><br><a class="bbc_url" href="
<br>
"I Hate Christian Laettner"<br><br>
Watched that about week ago. Enjoyed immensely.<br><br>
I always remember (and only knew) Laettner as the only amateur in the Dream Team (interesing he beat out Shaq for that role). So have been meaning to watch that for a while.<br><br>
Quite a fluffybunny with the way he hazed his team mates.<br><br>
But i found it difficult not to like him for his play in the doco.<br><br>
Amusing the passion from the haters was still raw. Especially given the "stomp" was pretty much a non-event.<br><br>
Amazing play that turnaround jumper though. -

Yeah the Vlade/Drazen one would be next on my list. An amazing story.
