They say that it's the greatest documentary of all time (and I agree).

Amazing that the 7 foot force Rashard Griffith never played in the NBA but Amal did.

He figured since he was already getting paid by Stu here in the States, he would try his craft overseas.

That's tight, although I liked the Allen Iverson documentary better. Same director.

Agee's father was shot and killed on the streets. The same thing happened to Gates' older brother. Gates' older brother was a hooper in his day and wanted to go to Marquette but didn't have the grades. He scored something like a 6 on his ACT.

I think what St J's did to the Agee's was terrible. Made me ashamed to be a Christian (I am C of E.)
