Winning Time

Yep, another ESPN classic. I was taught that to get the attraction of the audience to watch the documentary, start it off with some action. That is exactly what this documentary did, showing the last quarter of game one in the 1994 NBA playoffs between Indiana and New York. After giving you a taste, they slow the pace down by talking about Reggie Miller's past and being overshadowed by his sister. As interesting as it was, it was still pretty boring, but you knew that if you kept watching it, the pace will pick up again. They were very thorough in their interviews by asking everyone that was involved in that game. Coaches, players, and even fans like Spike Lee. The only thing that I wasn't fond of was the time chronology in the video. After summarizing the 7 game series making the audience assume that it was over the period of 2 weeks, they just fast forward one whole year to their re-match series in the 1995 playoffs. I would've like it better if there was more story building between the two years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-CTRf-w9ZQ
