Gunnin

[cj hood]

is on ESPN Classic now...just started

[JoLovesMCA]

I know!!!!!! Was flipping through the channels and saw it on!!!!!! It's been played a lot this weekend. (y)

[Willyboy77]

I didn't get a chance to catch it yet, and it looks like it's on again at 8 pm eastern time Sunday, I won't miss this. Does yauch make an appearance at all? Any beastie songs in the soundtrack? There must be!!!

[cj hood]

I only watched a few minutes but I liked what I saw. Beasties had an instrumental on there but they should have done a hiphop track since there were so many rap trax playing in the film.

[beasties#1fan]

its on my netflix queue!!

[JoLovesMCA]

Also the directing is amazing. While you don't see Yauch any fan of the Beasties would know its him because he's got those signature camera moves. (y)

Honestly I don't care for sports but I do love documentaries. He got a lot of rave reviews for this film and I see why. :p

[Willyboy77]

Cool, I look forward to seeing this as I am a fan of the band and everything they do(y)

[cj hood]

Is that Yauch commentating during the White/Blue game?

[Willyboy77]

Not sure I didn't catch it all, it was pretty interesting yauch is a talent tho on the mic and the camera, I would have loved to see him show his face a few times!!!

[Willyboy77]

I think that kid from Oregon had fight for your right as a ring tone lol, it played when they were playing video games and they started laughing to the camera maybe to yauch.

it's been fun following Yauch's picks as they emerged in the NBA since they were high schoolers in 2006. some genuine superstars, some busts and disappointments as well.

-Kevin Love has become a dominant force in the league and led the league in rebounding in 2011. He was injured to start the season and he appears frustrated playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has true NBA superstar potential.
career avg 17 pts, 12 reb, 2 assts, and a nice three point touch (36% for a big man)

-Tyreke Evans was Rookie Of The Year in 2010 and became the fourth NBA player in history to ever average at least 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in his rookie year, joining Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and LeBron James. he is also currently coming back from an injury for the Sacramento Kings.
career avg 18 pts, 5 reb, 5 assts, 1.5 stl

-Brandon Jennings was considered a trailblazer, becoming the first NBA player to skip college and play overseas right out of high school in order to be eligible for the NBA Draft. as a rookie for the Milwaukee Bucks, he exploded out of the gate and scored 55 points in his 7th game as an NBA pro, and serves as one of the faces of the franchise. he credits his experience in Europe for his success.
career avgs 17 pts, 4 reb, 6 assts, 1.5 stl

-Michael Beasley is a hot mess. multiple incidents with marijuana and several outbursts of immaturity and character issues have limited him to being the "cancer" on every team he has played for. he had his best season paired with Kevin Love in Minnesota and is now riding the bench in Phoenix. Yauch painted this picture of a troubled kid back when he was being showcased in the 2008 basketball film.
career avg 13 pts, 4 reb, 3 assts and declining

Jerryd Bayless- emerging as a decent option off the bench for the Memphis Grizzlies

Lance Stephenson- getting starting minutes for the Indiana Pacers.

Kyle Singler- as a rookie, getting starting minutes for the Detroit Pistons and is currently ranked #9 on nba.com's rookie rankings ladder.

Donte Greene- played three disappointing seasons for the Kings and NBA D-League, fractured his ankle right before signing with the Brooklyn Nets. currently not on any NBA roster.

If you get the DVD you can see Yauch playing some B-ball in the extra footage.

Who'd have thought Love would be the best player out of all of them? I certainly didn't. I think Love's gotta be happy in Minny because mgmt has surrounded him with talent, especially recently. I know the Lakers have their eye on him, especially if their woes continue this season. Hopefully he'll stay put.

Jennings is pretty good and should get a fat contract coming soon.

I think Beasley's best basketball is still ahead of him.

I'm not sure what to make of Tyreke Evans.

[Brother McDuff]

i forget who's segment it was, but may fav part of gunnin was when yauch drops the instrumental for "by the time I get to arizona" by PE. so heavy, big ups to the bomb squad
