Once Brothers

[b0mberMan]

I just watched this documentary on ESPN. Not bad. Chock full of great humor such as footage of Russia/Yugoslavia in the 88 Olympics. Lots of unkempt, dirty Eastern Europeans with mustaches that even hipsters wont grow now for irony's sake. The whole thing is narrated by Vlade Divac in English, which is pleasantly absurd. Bonda fide hands down winner of the whole thing was Jerry West at his press conference after drafting Divac:

West: "I got to meet Vlade and his wife and I tell you, they are just wonderful, really wonderful people. (turns to Vlade) DId you understand what I just said? (silence). Of course not. I said you're terrible."

Also, I will never understand the clannishness of the Eastern Europeans. What is the former Yugoslav republic? The size of South Carolina, tops, right?

I thought it was one of the best 30 for 30 documentaries yet. The highlights of the Yugoslav team in the late 80s were tremendous. That was some beautiful basketball being played. Also, Vlade still cracks me up for some reason after all these years.

Edit: I just looked it up. Yugoslavia was roughly 99,000 square miles. That would make it the ninth biggest state in the US, slightly larger than Oregon but smaller than Colorado. It's population as of 1989 was roughly 24,000,000, which would make it the third most populous state in the US.

Saw this, great documentary. First of the 30 for 30 I've seen and I'm impressed. I never really thought much of the 30 for 30, but the commercials were on all the time.

Divac is hilarious.

On Demand The U. The Ricky Williams one was pretty interesting, too. And I liked the Gretzky one.

You need to watch The U. Also recommended is the one on Len Bias.

I've probably seen about half of them and The Two Escobars was my favorite and it wasn't even close. Just a completely fascinating story told brilliantly. I think it was up for an award at some big time film festival.

Two Escobars = very good

Len Bias = awesome

The U = Spectacular. Just awesome, start to finish. Put over the top on anything ever on TV by the drunken Bernie Kosar interviews.

The U was awsome.

Also liked the one on the UFL. Great stuff when Jim Kelly and Steve Young are talking about making plays in a 65-60 shoot out. Plus you got film of Trump being a jag-off and walking out of an interview for the film.
