Showing you're age there, young'un.

BO KNOWS!


Yeah I was born in 83' and got right into the American sports card sensation favs being 'upper deck' and the 'choice' cards.

I guess we didn't get alot of footage back then, did the Bo Knows ads air in Oz

Fab Five never stopped balling in my mind!

A mate let me borrow his box set: Vol. 1 & 2.

Smashing through it at one (sometimes two) docos a day...

Great story. Some of these you couldn't make up.

Watched Winning Time the other night. How Miller won THAT game was amazing. Also a good laugh too.

Huge call but 'the two escobars' is one of the best doco's I have ever seen as well.

ESPN show it often another classic

Of those 30 for 30 docos the Drazen Petrovic/Vlade Divac one still brings a tear to my eye.

I'll never forget the day of his death that morning in high school a Croatian friend of mine was beside himself.

The House of Steinbrenner is the only one I've found to be a bit of a snoozer.

Unmatched - about the great friendship between Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova was a bit "girly".

Felt like I crashed their party...

IIRC, not the ads so much. Mainly posters and stuff in sports/card stores. MJ and Bo were the faces of Nike at one time, if I'm not mistaken...

He was just heating up, too.

Catching Hell: Steve Bartman Story about the guy who caught the ball at a cubs game is great also, but it goes a bit long.

Agreed, certainly could've been better. The visuals though with the landscapes and stuff are outstanding but could've done with a bit more action and blatantly left a lot questions un-answered for a sequel. Oh and needs more Engineers!

Very interesting concept though and IMO didn't even need to be a prequel to Alien, would've been a good idea as a standalone movie(s).

Saw it at the movies and was a bit let down but enjoyed it much more for what it is second time around.

Got it ex-rental (bare bones no special features) for $7.50, happy with that.
