Movie Reviews of Upsets and Underdogs (NBA Hardwood Classics)
Movie Review: Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnet - underdogs?
Summary: 4 Stars
It's nice to see NBA Entertainment coming up with a DVD like this that focused on the unsung heroes of the NBA. Noteworthy are the little big men like Spud Webb and Mugsy Bogues, and other "6th man" overachievers in the person of Mario Elie, John Starks and Darrel Armstrong. They are the TRUE UNDERDOGS. Would have loved to see Robert "Big Shot Bob" Horry or Ben Wallace, an undersized and undrafted center that has become one of the NBA's fiercest defenders and perrenial all-star. Also included in the disc are the greatest upsets, namely Denver's demolition of 1st seed Shawn Kemp-led Seattle in the early 90s and New York's climb to the NBA finals depsite being an 8th seed and injury plagued. Must see for every sports fan.
Summary of Upsets and Underdogs (NBA Hardwood Classics)
Expect the unexpected as this DVD explores the greatest upsets and overachievers in NBA history. From the legendary championship run of the 1977 Portland Trail Blazers to the heroic tales of Scottie Pippen and Kevin Garnett, NBA Upsets and Underdogs recounts the NBA's most inspirational stories. Even with the odds stacked against them, these featured teams and players, including host Bill Walton, have managed to steal the headlines with their epic performances. .NBA Upsets and Underdogs is 53 minutes of pure fun and nostalgia as Bill Walton hosts an overview of unlikely triumphs over adversity and obstacles in the National Basketball Association. The anecdotal material goes back only to the late 1970s, but that's early enough to cover such inspirational chapters in sports history as the 1977 championship series between Walton's Portland Trail Blazers and the expected winners, the Philadelphia 76ers. The latter, strong on flashy individual talent, claimed the first two games in the series. But in the end it was the harmonious teamwork of the Blazers--and the inspiring passions of their "Blazermania" fans--that won the day. The 1994 Denver Nuggets were similarly underestimated going into their playoff round with the superior Supersonics, as were the 1999 New York Knicks all through their fabulous postseason. But miles of film clips in this program prove just how dramatically the tide turned for both teams once they hit their stride.
It's not only teams in the spotlight. Tim Duncan, Scottie Pippen, and Mario Elie share their moving stories of working hard and overcoming bad luck, though it's the section on Timberwolves superstar Kevin Garnett (who went straight from high school to the pros, proving himself a natural leader along the way) that is most affecting. --Tom Keogh
