Agreed. Thankfully Paul made it another 11 years before sadly passing away not long after this video was made. Sure Paul never coached in the NBA after this season but he was already a retired NBA star with a lengthy volume of coaching work and relative success (to say nothing of his rings as a player) and he was in his late 60s already. In a strange way Paul Silas is a mirror of MJ. He threw in the towel when he reached his lowest point, content with the legacy he had already carved instead of chasing that rainbow any longer. Instead he was willing to instead fully support his son in chasing his goals. It's clear when you read his interview from when Stephen got hired by the Rockets just how truly, immensely proud he was of his son.

Ah man how do I describe this documentary? It felt like choosing a foreign film to stream that has a historical backdrop but unexpectedly becomes very depressing and with nothing to add to the arc of the story, there is a gay scene. Despite knowing this is not what you signed up for, you trust your decision as you can tell the director was committed to the story and character development and have already come to admire the actors ability to hypnotize you enough that you no longer realize you are reading their dialog. Though there were points of despair and even disgust while watching it, as you finish you are ultimately left melancholy and appreciative of the artists contributions to the films ability to make you feel. Yeah, watching this is kind of like that.

@C.Pendejo2 жыл бұрын
A rare level of athletic skill was a prerequisite, sure. But: a man whose absolutely freakish drive - his burning *need* - to win, to become the best, demanded a relentless rise to that godhood. And demanded he bring an NBA championship and a cargo-short-friendly golf course to Carolina, etc; demands met with varying levels of success. As a Bulls fan from well before a fateful moment - sophomore MJ's rejection by his high school's varsity squad - which set epic wheels in motion (earliest NBA memory, likely from a dismal '75 season the team went 24-58: watching from the cheap seats as Jerry Sloan earned himself an ejection by loudly swearing at the ref who'd just T'd him up, my dad's hands covering my tender ears a second too late), and who followed the team through years of mediocrity and watched as the team took this North Carolina kid with the draft's third pick, saw them finally post a winning record in his fourth year, bow out of the playoffs to the Bad Boy Pistons in his fourth, fifth, and sixth seasons before sweeping them in his seventh and never looking back - I, too, cried at those final words & image. That moment was the culmination of a *hell* of a lot of drama, struggle, and story lines for the team and the individual. I can't think of another in my lifetime which screams "this is what sports are all about" more fully. I reckon any of us who watched every episode of every season of that series see all of it captured in that photo. The waning seconds of this two and a half journey taking an mind-bendingly sharp turn to go there caught me *completely* off guard (though it also makes perfect sense), as did my involuntary reaction: breathless and sobbing. "Makes perfect sense?" Hell, maybe it was downright necessary, to remind us why Jordan, Silas (père et fils), the players, and we fans care about all this.

Great documentary. As a Charlotte native since the Hornets inception: a key detail was missed to explain why the city didn’t embrace the Bobcats. In June 2001 the city voted down a proposal to build the Hornets an arena in the Uptown district. In 2002 the Hornets left for NO. When Charlotte was awarded the expansion team that became the Bobcats, the city simply raised taxes and allocated funds to build the uptown arena that the community had voted against just a few months earlier. The Bobcats were never going to win the city over without being exciting. They never have been. Politics

I felt this was a nice change of pace for the Dorktown format. Don't get me wrong, all your programs are great, but I preferred the more low-stakes and humorous approach taken with this one. Featuring Seth on any basketball topic is also a must imo, his basketball videos are partially responsible for the channel's rise and its clear to see his passion and talent for talking about the sport.

I've been hoping for a while for an NBA or (less likely) NHL team to get the Mariners/Falcons treatment. I wonder if Charlotte basketball as a whole could have worked for that. The Hornets/Bobcats really have dick-all in terms of a winning history whereas the Falcons made a Super Bowl and the Mariners tied the all-time single-season wins record. I sort of expected if we did get an NBA deep dive (I just think NHL was less likely for the same reason it took 4 years to get a slightly half-baked -- I love the fellas but I'm just calling it like I see it -- NHL Fumble Dimension -- Jon et al just aren't that versed in hockey), if we did get an NBA version it'd be the Orlando Magic. *Some* winning history (they've been in two Finals), *some* star history (Shaq, Penny Hardaway, Dwight Howard), but no championships and probably many stories untold outside their fanbase. Maybe someday :)

I became an NBA fan right before the start of the 2013-14 season, the only year where both the Charlotte Bobcats and the New Orleans Pelicans were active NBA franchises. I found out, shortly thereafter, that the New Orleans Pelicans were formerly the New Orleans Hornets, which had moved from Charlotte. When the next season began with the Charlotte Hornets replacing the Charlotte Bobcats, the league announced that the old Hornets' history, records, etc., would be inherited by the team born as the Bobcats who now bore the Hornets' name. Even at the age of 11, I thought this made no sense. "This is absurd. History is a collection of objective facts, not a chain of grocery stores - it can't simply be acquired and rebranded. This act of retconning is completely illegitimate." -Jon Bois, 2017, on the Cleveland Browns. The truth is, in 2004, the Charlotte Bobcats were born as ghosts. I reconciled this in my own mind at the time, even if it made no difference to the league or anyone else. In my mind, there were two franchises. The old Hornets, who moved to New Orleans in 2002, had a brief stint in Oklahoma City, returned, and then changed their name to the Pelicans, and the new Hornets, born in 2004 as the Bobcats. So when Chris Paul retires and gets his original jersey retired, it SHOULD be done by the Pelicans. When I started watching this video, I knew instantly who The Unicorn was. Maybe it was the dissonance between my own logic and that of the league, or becoming a basketball fan in the intermission of this awkward two-year retrieval of the name, the repeated references to the draft lottery as their silver lining, or something else, but I subconsciously resolved that the Bobcats ended their season by drafting Anthony Davis, and then didn't question it for 1 hour, 34 minutes and 26 seconds, from 27:49 to 2:12:15. It was then when an image came to mind. A hazy image of an otherwise inconspicuous player shooting a basketball in a white striped jersey, with both elbows jutting out to his left. It had probably been five or six years since I'd last thought of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, but when I did, my jaw dropped and stayed open for probably a full minute, and it felt like three. This documentary took on a completely new tone after that point, summarized perfectly at 2:15:14. Every hardship detailed in the length of this doc - every win, every kinda-close game, everyone who, without evaluating through the staunch lens of a longtime NBA fan, boasted remarkably impressive careers in the sport - amounted to absolutely nothing. It wasn't just that they'd lost out on The Unicorn. They passed on Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, Andre Drummond, and others. They continued to flounder in mediocrity, and then faded into obscurity. That realization - that the Bobcats weren't getting the first pick, that the journey the Bobcats players took, kicking and screaming, to unprecedented levels of sucking, one I had known about for years but now felt like I had experienced personally, had NO silver lining - is the type of realization that makes someone type out this long of a comment. The dramatic irony of The Unicorn being lost on me resulted in one of the coolest accidental rug-pulls I'd ever experienced. I've been watching SB since I was 14. I've seen every Chart Party and Pretty Good, and (basically) every Rewinder and Beef History related to basketball. I've only ever seen four Dorktowns, and this was one of them. I turn 20 this month. Thanks, guys.

Whereas a lot of content makers would use vaporwave or modern synthwave to try to achieve an old school vibe, Jon uses music that, while it may or may not be recently composed, captures accurately the feel of a program from early millennial childhood. Sonically, it’s true old-school in HD rather than a vaporwave-y, fever dream take on nostalgia. I don’t know if I’m really making what I’m trying to convey make sense, but Jon’s music choices give me the weird, uncomfortable childhood feelings along with the nostalgia vibes, and I can greatly appreciate that
