hes pretty much the reason why this city lost its team ironic enough...he was suppose to carry them...what a bad pick..smdh...he deserves all 308 l's on his resume...they chose him over michael finley….let that sink in...its like if the raptors after trading away damon drafted the bum big man robert traylor r.i.p instead of jamison and then couldn't trade for vince ...it would of set the franchise back and maybe they lose their team...imagine a finley rahim bibby trio in 2001?..they would of been really good for years...maybe the rapts leave instead since its a dumpster fire with no star

This is Fantastic! I’m from Oklahoma and I’ve been a pretty serious NBA fan for the most of my life. Oklahoma is very rural for the most part. I always looked up to Bryant . I always thought of him as someone who did the impossible and made it out. I like how Notable Former NBA players (Shaq) always give Bryant credit. He was good and gave players as good as him problems. It makes me sad that retirement came early for him, but he played his heart out every game. Long Live Big Country!

@@mikemontana1990A few reasons would be that other cities (especially Seattle) deserve it way more and it sucks for Vancouver that they happen to be located so close. They just didn't have a strong enough fan base the first time to support a team. Both Vancouver and Toronto are big enough to support a team but because hockey is so much more popular in Canada only a large city like Toronto can support a team. Too many basketball fans that live in Vancouver are now Raptors fans so this takes more asses out of seats.

Hey I just wanted to say that I loved your documentary! I’m probably around your age and I grew up in the lower mainland. My wife and I just moved to Grand Forks, BC to get away from the insanity that is Vancouver. Vancouver has always been an expensive place and now more than ever. Going to Grizzlies’ games when I was a kid was the affordable thing to do and it was fun. My dad couldn’t afford to take me to Canucks games so we did the alternative. Remembering the Grizzlies and watching this documentary definitely brought a warm feeling to my heart. Thank you for making it!

I loved the game back then too and my life revolved around it. Collected cards,went to games, bought gear, and played all the time with the dream of making it to the NBA and playing on the Lakers. Never made it...but I definitely revisited those times and how precious and yet simple life was through this doc. Thank you for taking us back!

This is a terrific doc (Grizzlies fan or not) that makes me nostalgic, and it's so nice to see Country in such a great place post-basketball. Looking forward to 'The Grizzlie Truth' in a couple of weeks at VIFF.

He was a good guy. I was a supervisor at the Richmond BC Costco (where Bryant shopped). He came through the til once and, his Costco membership had expired. I went to override the temporary "block" on his Costco card and, give him a friendly reminder to renew. He asked "How much was the renewal?" and, I just said "$66.3 million dollars" with lightning speed and, kinda laughed out of an uncomfortable embarrassment for saying something that he *might* find offensive (he had no inkling of my "offbeat/witty" sense of humour). We looked at each other and...he laughed his Big Country ass off and extended his hand to me, shook my hand (I'm 6'5" - not tiny at all) with his hand enveloping mine in an almost cartoonish manner...and, said - "Will you take a cheque?" Brilliant. Then, once he was through the humongous Costco line up, he stopped to sign kids autographs as he was swarmed by approx 40-60 kids. He asked my for a Sharpie and, some paper and...he spent close to 30 minutes with those kids until each and every one of them had a Costco "blue card" with his salutation and, signature. He was a good man...from Gans Oklahoma!

I enjoyed this film! My freshman year at OSU was Big Country's senior year. I remember walking into the lobby of Ag Hall one morning on my way to class, and there he was standing by the elevators. (At his height, he was impossible to miss!) It looks like he is happy back in his home town, which is good to see.

Great - just great! A very, very beautiful documentary! Not just a tall, but also a truly big man in peace with himfself, and a young woman having found some, too.

Thank you, this was beautiful & well done. I liked how it told two stories of life with basketball, hers & his. It'd good to see that Reeves has moved on and is content in life, and it was very awesome of her to donate her gifts from him to the BC HoF.

To any kid who owned NBA Hangtime on N64, knows that Vancouver was always the main computer team to play against and Reeves would always whoop ass on there.

Great story on both sides Kat. I loved watching it. Makes me appreciate the Raptors even more. It was great to see and be inspired by yourself and BIG Country. Thanks for your effort and making the donation to the museum.

Wow that was AWESOME ! I'm a Kings fan and can appreciate loving a team who isn't the winningest. Also almost losing the team. Big Country seems like a great guy. Cool you gotta meet your idol and he was nice and kind to you

I think this also speaks to the connections seen in small market NBA teams. The connections with players can still be still super intense, but they don’t get as much coverage as say Kobe & Lakers fans, and often times the players end up shrouded in more obscurity after the league

Being socialized in the mid 90ies to the NBA, Big Country is no stranger. Even here in Germany. But boy, the Grizzlies were bad. And not even just on the court but the marketing around them (which is important to reach us fans in Oversee). I Collection their cards neverthelessy Great to get some insight to the Vancouver situation and of course great to see, that Bryant Reeves is doing fine (and still plays). These are the worse side effects to the NBA Business: Relocation and leaving fans, history and players behind. Great, that this film brings something back.
