Nba Larry Bird:Basketball Legend 25th

Rating:
Summary: Es bueno, pero creo que le falta mas documentacion
Review: Es verdad Larry Bird ha sido uno de los mas grandes basquetbolistas de todos los tiempos, este DVD muestra algunas facetas de su grandiosa historia, sin embargo, creo que este DVD quedo corto en comparación con la serie de Michael Jordan, el cual está mejor documentado y tiene mayor informacion que el mismo Larry. Sobre los juegos que tiene incluidos, no son los mas notables que fueron vs. los L.A. Lakers y vs. los Pistones de Detroit. Sobre el Dream Team de Barcelona 92 no viene informacion. En general puedo decir que es un buen video para quien no conoce a Larry, pero creo que para ser de colección le falto información.

Summary: Nice documentary but too short.
Review: I am a great Celtics fan from Eastern Europe. This was a great chance for me to see some of all-time games in full (also bought Boston Dynasty pack).

I was bitterly disappointed when I realized that this was edition was relised in 1991 and that there are just few interview footage inserted in almost 15 years old material.

Documentary ends somewhere in 1988 and there is nothing about back injury, Olympic games 1992 and the Dream Team, coaching of Indiana and the Coach of the Year Award.

I have bought by Amazon two of Larry's autobiographies and red them. In the film there is nothing about Larry's personal life, about his first marriage and daughter Carry and nothonh about his second wife.

OK there are 3 full games in this package what make this deal well worth of buying.

Summary: Pretty good
Review: The Bird Documentary included is actually from about 10 years ago. It has some nice highlights and last about an hour or so.

The three games included are in their entirety, as originally broadcast. I remember watching the game where he scored 60 against Atlanta, and it was great to watch it again. By the end of the game, as Bird continued to drain impossible three-pointers, the players on the Atlanta bench were giving each other high-fives!

And the game featuring the duel against Dominique (after Bird guaranteed victory) is probably the greatest example of two super-stars going head to head...ever. And it was a game seven, no less!

The set contains two double sided discs. So, you have to flip the discs to watch all the games. The packaging doesn't tell you that.

I love the idea of putting classic games on DVD (an idea I had a long, long time ago), but how about an new introduction or player commentary? I get the feeling the NBA didn't put too much effort or money into the packaging. All they did was put an old documentary and some old games onto discs. Still, the content is good, but I would like to see even more of Bird's greatest games (especially from the playoffs). I guess I can buy the "Celtics Dynasty" DVD for that.
