I just watched it.


Jan 25, 2018, 11:00 PM

Also, they always refer to it on sports talk shows. Anyway, after just finishing it I realized it was pretty mediocre.

Probably grading it on a curve since my now-deceased grandmother took me to see it in the theater when it came out

Now I feel like a jerk. Yeah it was pretty awesome.

I was wrong.

as far as overly sentimental sports movies from youth...


Jan 25, 2018, 11:10 PM

this was my favorite (it taking place in Clemson was a big reason):

Is it good? Not bad review.

Watching it now? It's incredibly cheesy and sentimental


Jan 25, 2018, 11:25 PM

so I doubt watching it now as an adult in 2018 would be able to see it any other way, but as a kid I wore the tape out and it had a pretty big impact on my love of basketball.

I could watch it now and probably enjoy it for the nostalgia, but I don't think I could ever recommend anyone see it for the first time as an adult (unless you are a big Maravich fan and/or grew up in Clemson).

How can you POSSIBLY use the phrase

'overly sentimental sports movies from youth' and not immediately go to Brian's Song?

The idea that a white guy could possibly run with a black guy just makes me laugh til I cry.

I really like Gene Hackman as an actor. That movie is overrated however.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah that;s what I thought after watching...


Jan 25, 2018, 11:15 PM

that will suck when Hackman is gone. He is great. I think he retired already.

Greatest sports movie of all time if you played
