Some Things I noticed


I just got done watching most of the movie and here are a few things I noticed for the first time:

1. Jimmy can't play a lick of defense.
2. That white point guard cost SB the game in the championship. First, he takes a 20 foot shot with about 30 seconds left and a 4 point lead while Hickory is playing very passive defense. Then, once the score is tied he dribbles across half court right to the sideline allowing himself to be trapped by a double team and subsequently gets his pass stolen. Proves you shouldn't have a white point guard on a mostly black team.
3. The South Bend coach refused to call any timeouts when his team was falling apart at the end.
4. After Everett gets thrown into the trophy case and gets his shoulder ripped open, he plays the rest of the game. Yet after it has had a few days to heal and has been stitched the coach pulls him out after the wound is re-opened.

Keep in mind that it's base on the 1954 Milan's team.

The race of the point guard is irrelevant.

You know who else couldn't play defense? Alex English, Kiki Vandeweghe, and George Gervin. But you would still want them on your team.

And Steve Nash won two NBA MVP awards as a point guard.
