seems like a good show.
But why do we care about Sebastian Telfair?

What has he done with his NBA career? :|

im not saying we should care about him, im just simply saying that after what he's been through i have gained mor respect for him. And regarding his NBA career, he's only been in the league for 2 years. Wats to say that he wont develop or blossom into a good player, not that he's a bad player right now. and BTW its not a show, its a documentary.

It was just about the same as any other rags to riches story.

I hate him as a player (wait, Portland - let we get something straight - you passed on Chris Paul because you already have Sebastian fucking Telfair? How does that make sense? They're both the same age and Paul is like zillion years ahead of him development-wise.) and he makes himself a lot prettier in this documentary than he probably actually is. I just don't fucking trust him. Marbury connection in that sort of things. And I'll watch the film tomorrow, if everything goes as planned.

Its supposedly very predictable and nothing special at all. I probably wouldn't like it, but I'd watch it anyway since its about basketball.

I like it. He doesn't appear to be a thug, which is certainly a good sign, although I'm still bothered by the whole girlfriend's gun affair. And if they were so poor, where the hell did he get that coupe?

So was Lebron. I'm not sure when was Garnett's first time, but I think it was either in his third or second season. And you can bet on that Paul is gonna be one next year and he's three months older than Telfair.

He should've did what Darius Washington did and that was go to college and get noticed, then he would have a better chance of developing. Even though Washington isn't getting paid the big bucks yet, he may have a better NBA career than Telfair if he can keep up his great play in Memphis.

I tihnk this would've been more interesting had it been aired last year in his rookie season, but this year it seems like it's outdated, especially seeing clips of Dwight Howard in HS

I jusrt watched this show on ESPN classic. :?


It's really ironic how comming out of highschool is truely a "lottery". It's either ur good straight from HS like bron...or you're a bust like this dude.

Funny how they showed dwight like his rival..when howard's career now is leaps and bounds better. I must admit that i feel sorry for him..but then ..he's a dumbass for not going to college. There should be a rule against peepsqueakes going pro out of highschool. They certainly need more development just cause of their size than people like garnett, mcgrady and bron. He's now enjoying a career as a mediocre player...i bet he wishes now that his ass went to college.
