Thanks to bigfooty hall of famer nufan for alerting us to this.

The documentary brings you the startling untold story of what transpired on that fateful 2004 day. Here we here from the participants, protagonists and punchers as they explain what really went on in Detroit.


From the company that co-brought you "The Last Dance", Netflix will screen this fly on the wall documentary on August 10. Check your local guides.

Nigeria coach Mike Brown tries to help Ron Ron achieve zen. Lover not a hater Austin Croshere employing a more tactile approach.

That looks interesting to say the least.

I still remember the day it happened. I got booted off our computers at school because I wasn't doing school work

 

[Richard Cranium]

I was at home watching it live. I always used to tape games back then (2004, what a time), so I have the VHS stored away somewhere, either the live broadcast or the evening replay.

I think Grantland (RIP) did an oral history of it back in the day. Maybe for the 10th anniversary. Was a good read. Pretty sure once they were all back in the rooms, Artest said something like "you guys reckon we'll get fined for that?"

Nice one for lockdown 6!

Used to love Jermaine O'Neal in the early 2000's

Forgot how good he was and how stacked that Pacers team was

Jezz Artest is one wierd dude

Good doco

 

[Itsmyshow]

Watched it last night.

Great Doco..

 

[Gak Attack]

I didn't think it was that great to be honest. Didn’t really add anything that wasn't known. Came across as Pacers players woe is us doco. Sure they copped it rough and Pistons organisation should have taken a lot more of the blame but Pacers were hardly innocent.

Future generations can throw this doco on when someone asks " Why is the NBA so tiggy-touchwood these days ?? "

 

[Mazza1234678]

Stephen Jackson was unbearable in it

The only thing I wasn’t a fan of

Jermaine O’Neal came across well and you cant really expect much from Artest

 

[peternorth]

I enjoyed it. Brought back so many memories of that day watching it unfold then the coverage thereafter.

The VHS, grainy as VHS. Man kids dont know how good it is these days with the HD 4K.

The music was unsettling and helped shape the mood. Felt like you there.

Best bit was Metta winning an NBA title

 

[Ron]

A decent watch, nothing outstanding but was ok to watch for an hour.
Jermaine came across very well, he spoke honestly and i felt for him.
Captain was a flog, like he usually is, so that didn't surprise me.

I wish i'd stuck my leg out sooner

One of the great Spurs

All Spurs are great.



Except Sean Marks, bloody kiwi.

 

[BEEG]

Not what I expected, I thought it was good not great.

Some of the fans involved were just absolute flogs.

I still say Ben Wallace got off light he started that with the carry on after the rough foul.

Yep the one I really felt for in the whole episode.

 

[peternorth]

The fact that Jermaine wore a suit and jax and Ron Ron were in more laid back gear I think added to the notion that he was a big victim here.

Thanks Eddie Maguire

Just finished watching it.

Any coincidence Tim Donaghy was one of the refs? He and his mates probably had the Detroit line, whilst planting John Green in the stadium to cause mayhem and have the game ultimately cancelled and bets refunded

 

[hamG]

It might sound bizarre, but I was lucky enough to watch it live back in the day. I found the doco did not actually come across with just how tense the situation was. They kept showing just 3-4 second cuts of the incidents with a narration, it didn't come across how completely out of control everything was all over the floor and in the stands and in the races. s**t was happening everywhere constantly.
