Oh Billy you so stoopid

That's Rosie's catch phrase in the movie.

I don’t really talk when I shoot I more groan and breathe heavy

Dang you right , I just had to think about it in her voice

What about Hoop Dreams?

 

[minowasmullet]

The Netflix doc on the Danbury Trashers is fantastic.

I second this

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

What about Hoop Dreams?

Sounds good it’s based on a true story right? A cursory search showed there is some truth to it.

Still haven’t seen Ali but I have seen raging bull it’s a classic, I forgot to add boxing thanks for the reminder.

Ali sucked. Watch the HBO docs on Ali Frazier 1 and the Thrilla in Manila. 100x better.

edit: I mean the movie Ali sucked, not the boxer.

No it actually is a documentary following the aspiring player for years I think

I don't think this is based on a real story, but it's something I could have easily missed but am glad I didn't:

Oh even better, like people trying to make it into the nba? That’s cool I remember watching something when I was in high school about baseball players who would go to every tryout for mlb teams and never making it.

Yeah I’m just trying to get into more lore and history of sports but that is a good movie

Pretty much any 30 for 30. And the Magic/Bird doc is incredible.



Bonus if you figure out who is doing the voice over.
