It’s good. But no way can it ever be ranked ahead of “When We Were Kings” to my mind.

That documentary is fucking incredible. Less than 2 hours and utterly flawless. Has it aged? Not one bit; other than the silly montage in the middle. All other sports documentaries have really just ripped off their model.

I’d say it’s top 10 docs all time, sports or no sports.

      jonattonyeah I’ve not seen that as I’m not bothered about boxing, but to be fair, I’m not that bothered about basketball either (loved in when I was a kid mind) and loving that Jordan thing.

        When we were kings is awesome. Even if you’re not a boxing fan. It’s worth a watch.

        not sure if i’ve seen that or not, i’ll take a look. i’m pretty sure i watched 75% of the bulls games from maybe 89-98, every playoff game for sure, so it’s cool to relive it with a different perspective.

          Gave reckoning a go last night. Unbelievably bad. The acting is straight out of a cheesy American soap opera.

          Anything new and decent on netflix seems to becoming more and more rare.

          Mad_Cyril I stick to the foreign language stuff mostly.

          You must be an absolute pro at reading subtitles.

              Thought MC had a live in translator who kips under the stairs of his mansion. who only comes out when he’s watching Netflix

                Yes it is brilliant isn’t it? I’m not a basketball fan by any stretch but this has me hooked.

                Do they really play 82 games in a league season? Are they playing every 3rd day or something?

                    Anyone dived into White Lines yet? Looking for some feedback before starting it…

                      Don’t do it!

                        White lines is absolutely awful . I lasted one episode.

                        gcw i think one of the reasons its so good is that enough time has passed that everyone involved is willing to be pretty honest. and yeah, they play way too many games, one of the many reasons i haven’t followed the nba in quite a while.

                          They play for 48 minutes a game and have squads of 15 people and only 5 on the court. The Premier League play for twice as long and more than half the games.

                          I loved the game as a kid and represented my school up to under 13s and then my fucking parents moved and the school I went to didn’t play it. The problem with watching it now for me is that games are only interesting at the end and only if they’re close - I realise that’s not how it is, it’s just how I view it.

                          Those baskets in that Jordon documentary are breathtaking.

                            Always been amazed at how easy they make slam dunks look. I am 6 ft 5 and I don’t think I can touch the hoop, let alone get above it to dunk.
