Not a big documentary person but found myself watching this one because I love that era of basketball, it was pretty cool overall imo.
Summary - Details the 7/8 member undergrad USA college Select Team that defeated the '92 Dream Team in their first day scrimmage. No media present and 1 game tape, never before released.
*****Be Warned.******. Heavy Duke influence and bend with the documentary which might make you gag/throw up more than once.
Some takeaways.
- Kentucky's Mashburn wearing what I'm saying was a 10 grand gold chain is very telling. (There were a few others but his stood out.)
- Felt like the Select college team were guys that were known to be bought and paid for, from programs that were really elevating their under the table payrolls at the time. Duke, NC, KY, Michigan, etc.
And Coach K, ole Roy went out of their way to not mix in guys that were from programs that weren't obviously dirty and paying players.
- Some notable guys not on that Select Team due to their June draft status or undergrad status.
Shaq, Mourning, Jimmy Jackson, Harold Miner.
- Calbert was the only 1993 first team All American not on that USA Select team.
Curious, anybody know the story or have thoughts on why Calbert was omitted from that 1992 USA basketball college Select Team? tia
