Brian Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Glad to see the series return. The Miller vs. Knicks thing tonight was great. I hated Starks growing up. I hated the Knicks in the 90's. The footage and stories were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Loved the footage of Pippens dunk on Ewing than walking over to Spike Lee and telling him to sit his ass down. And Spike Lee playing innocent. Pah-lease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenryan Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Good series. Kinda felt bad for Spike Lee. Seemed like Miller started all the s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I really enjoyed it last night. I grew up watching that rivalry, so it was a lot of fun to look back at it this way. Plus, it reminded me of the glory days of the NBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Just watched it today, that was a great show. Reminded me of how much I hated the Knicks during the 90s, especially Mason & Starks. The travelling Ewing got away with it on both of those last second shots was pretty ridiculous. Then again, in today's NBA, those would never be called either. I did really enjoy replay after replay after replay of Ewing missing the finger roll at the end of Game 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the day it happened, I remember seeing the fan behind him throw a towel at Ewing. Never got close but was funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Entertaining, but the whole seem rang hollow a little to me since they were glorifying this rivalry and at best one of these teams were the 2nd best team in the NBA during this stretch, but again, well done and kept me entertained. 30 for 30 has been very good, I'm the first one to rip on ESPN, so I want to give them kudos when they come through. The Jimmy the Greek one was excellent and I would say go out of your way to see the Len Bias one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 3, 2010 -> 11:57 AM) New on today at 3pm on ABC about Paul Westhead and Hank Gathers. It was a great program. Thought they could have gone more in depth into what the details of "the system" but overall entertaining and touching at the end. Overall these 30 for 30 pieces have been great, glad to see the use of outside filmmakers, which I think has helped keep ESPN's biased fingers off of them somewhat, although there is a whole film about the 04 ALCS coming up. Just watched the rerun of the movie about the U. I liked it a lot, especially with all of the old players talking about what it was like. I had no idea that Miami was just a small private university with a joke of an athletic program until Sullenberger & Johnson turned it into the U in the late 70s/80s.

Brian Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 "Trial of Allen Iverson" was ok. I try and stay away from the black vs. white arguements, no matter where they are involved.

I may be biased since Iverson's my 2nd favorite ball player ever, but I thought it was really good. What I found interesting was the different conspiracy theories that were going on around the town.

JuiceCruz16 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) I enjoyed the Iverson 30 for 30. I remember reading the Sports Illistrated article when it happened. No doubt then or now he was given a crazy unfair sentence where race had everything to do with it. He was in the wrong like literally thousands of other high school kids unfortunatly are who get involved in a brawl ( what extent AI was is still uncertain) and deserved to be punished, but the sentence he and his 3 friends got nailed with was and still is inexcusable!

knightni Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 The fantasy sports episode was solid, but low budget. I was actually in a league that mirrored the first one. NL only, auction style with the draft in the commissioner's basement. We put up money and had dollar values on the guys. We called each other for trades, called the commish on transactions and waited for the stat service to mail us stats and standings every week. The league started in 1986 (I played from 1994-2004) and it's still going today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
