Hoop Dreams

I suddenly have an urge to attend my first basketball game. Though, something tells me I won’t see anything like this at Madison Square Garden these days. (Via jdickerson. Soundtrack NSFW.)

Has anyone made a comparable compilation for players of the greatest game– rugby league?

do you remember going to basketball once with your mum, think it might have been in Sheffield. Its the only time I’ve ever been to basketball ?

Yep. It was for the student Olympics. Not the best advert for the game, from what I recall.

I was never a huge fan, but that video reminded me about how even in Newfoundland in the 80s people were arguing about who triumphed – Bird or Johnson. I loooooove the sporting montage. For my money tho, it’s gotta be Zidane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZV-q-nxBkk&feature=related

There’s lots out there on the game’s greatest players.
