When all those hall of famers starting saying where they came from and then Connie Hawkins saying he was never told he was good at anything outside of basketball
Good to see Connie. So much talent came out of NY.
A lot of people don’t even know his story

I loved it overall but felt the end was too Lebron-centric. To have a section about him entering the league, another about the decision, another about the Spurs/Heat series, then the rise of Golden State ending with him bringing the title to Cleveland seemed to be a bit much. Especially since they completely skipped over Bad Boys Pistons, Rockets back to back, and just giving more attention to some of the older players. Would've loved a section on the the pandemonium with Iverson entering the league and the changes he brought about like the dress code. Hell if they gave a whole section to PJ/Spreewell I would've like one on all the craziness surrounding Rodman or a section on all the wacky offenses different coaches have rolled out over the years.

I loved it too but I think their lack of attention to high school bball was weird. Also only the 1950 NYC b-ball scene being the only bit on nyc b-ball was also weird.

Near the end now. I feel like they glossed through a lot of the 90s/00s but spent mad time on the other decades.
