    Wait, so is this the only one? The short one? ESPN will have a 30 for 30 about his journey too right?

    no we literally got put to task for a nine minute student film.

    Daryl is getting his daughter articles written about a student film that take longer to read than the excerpt takes to watch. She got access to top level executives in the NBA for a student film! It's a well done short, but man, Daryl is running through a press circuit for this. Father of the year.

    i felt the same after watching it. it wasn't bad at all, but given all the access she had handed on a platter it could have been more expository, instead of basically just the played out quotes we already expected

    I feel like the title should involve Halloween somehow... because I remember having a Halloween party at my house in college in 2012 and espn was just kind of randomly on in the background and I saw the news .... that was awesome.

    This feels like a shortened version of a real documentary. 9 minutes is not a documentary..

    I was ready to go to a party that night and got the Woj Bomb right before heading out the door. I changed into a my ASU Harden Jersey and put on a Rockets championship hat and that's all i cared about for the rest of the night.

    Oh, so that 9 minute documentary must be what this was about. I thought he said 30-for-30, not “30-for-30 style”.

    Look, I liked it. But, I would give it a grade of incomplete. We are really only seeing one side. The Rockets side.

    In order for this to be a complete documentary, we need to hear from Presti and the Thunder. I wonder if she even asked to talk to Presti? I know that Presti probably doesn't want to talk about the trade. But, if she wants to be a great filmmaker, she has to tell the complete story.

    honestly it wasn't bad but I was kind of underwhelmed by it. I thought it would be longer and more in depth considering the build up it had.
