    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>That nearly got really close right at the end. Funny how B/ball can swing like that. 10 pt leads can disappear in moments.</p>
    <p>Didn't happen though so it goes to game 6</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>

    The recent Orlando Magic one was also excellent, as was the Sonny Vacarro one which focussed on Nike and how they controlled college basketball

    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.

    <p>OKC continuing on, up 8 just before halftime. GSW somehow staying in it, despite being well below their best. Klay making some big shots, but KD is everywhere.</p>

    <p>OKC continue to look the better team. Should close this game out. Curry needs to step up, missing too many open shots.</p>

    <p>WOW what an amazing comeback. Just when you think they are down, the splash brothers come up big!!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>That is why they are the champions. But they still have to get it done in Game 7... what a match up. OKC the better team for 3.5 quarters but it wasn't enough, and they should have put GSW away far earlier in that game when they had the chance.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>This is an incredible series, and it's sad that anyone has to lose.</p>
