Like, I'm listening to Jermaine's interview on Russillo now and there's plenty they talk about here that was only alluded to in the doc, like expanding on the fan's aggressive behavior explaining he'd threatened Yao Ming previously. Kinda weird since the Way brothers' last feature for Netflix, Wild Wild Country, was almost TOO exhaustive LOL.


Didn't feel so much like a doc as a spruced up 60 Minutes editorial but I'll be recommending it around. I get it, too - clearly these three guys are tired of talking about this thing, they just saw an opportunity to capitalize on it one more time.


PLUS, it does feel like a really important catalyst for the current player empowerment era. This is the last legs (or the first steps of the last legs, anyway) of that time when the mainstream opinion was that guy from the Bill Burr joke complaining that the players made too much money to be annoyed with fans or the media, whereas now "shut up and dribble" maybe isn't quite fringe yet but definitely gets framed negatively when it comes up.


I sometimes wonder what the suspension situation would be like for a very similar incident in the past five or so years.
