Is anyone keeping up with these? I've seen them all except for the Allen Iverson one. My favorites so far have been the USFL, Muhammed vs Holmes, Jimmy the Greek and Reggie Miller ones.
The Ricky Williams one coming up should be good also.

The Straight Outta LA one was really good. Seeing Snoop be such a groupie for Ice Cube was good stuff. All the crude animations were funny, especially their shifty eyes.
I didn't remember the Superbowl Shuffle-esque video the Raiders made after they beat the Redskins. Howie Long looked like Bosworth back then.

Finally mixed in the Ricky Williams one...that guy is an effing nut. He tries to make everything sound all philosophical but he just sounds like a mouthy pot head to me. It's a shame, the guy could have been greatness had he had his head right with bong.
The June 17th-OJ one was greatness, probably the best one I have seen so far. I loved how they didn't use any in studio interviews to explain anything, it was all done through news clips and audio. I also really liked seeing all the behind the scenes newscasts and pulling the curtain back on that NBA Finals game. I didn't remember that OJ phone call to the police while he was in the Bronco at all. Stirring stuff...I still need to see the Escobar one.

i watched the two escobars greatness, but over two hours and pretty much all subtitled That was frustrating. All that reading while watching what was going on was a bummer. The story was amazing though. The OJ one was crazy. I loved all the audio of stuff we never got to hear. |
