About this product
In the early 1970s, America was being torn apart by the war in Vietnam, with racial unrest in the streets and a distrust of the White House. But there was a happier place where men of different backgrounds showed people that amazing things could happen when they worked together Madison Square Garden. Stitched together by Red Holzman, these Knicks - Bill Bradley, Willis Reed, Walt Frazier, Dave DeBusschere, Earl Monroe, Dick Barnett & Phil Jackson - may have seemed an odd collection, but by embracing their differences and utilizing their strengths, they showed the NBA and the world what it was like to play as a team. Based on the book by Harvey Araton, director Michael Rapaport explores the only championship years of the New York Knicks, when they made the NBA Finals in three out of four seasons, winning two titles.

In 1983, the NC State Wolfpack, coached by Jim Valvano, stayed alive in the postseason by winning nine do-or-die games in a row - seven of which they were losing in the final minute - beating the likes of Michael Jordan and three-time National Player of the Year Ralph Sampson. The unlikely squad made it to the national championship game against No. 1 Houston, aka Phi Slama Jama, a team featuring future NBA Top 50 all-time players Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. NC State was one of the biggest underdogs ever in the final game, one that went down as possibly the best college basketball game in history-ending with one of the most well-known plays of all time. Told through the eyes of senior captain Dereck Whittenburg, the film takes a poignant look at Jim Valvano and his remarkable impact. Approximately Run Time - 100 Minutes.
In 1985 the Chicago Bears dominated the game and embodied everything that encapsulated that emorable decade flash, chaos and a get-out-of-my-way attitude. Their Super Bowl winning season had it all the birth of Buddy Ryan's 46 Defense, the loss to the Dolphins that ruined their perfect season, the Super Bowl Shuffle and a colorful group of misfits who became the toast of football.
The story of one of the greatest upsets in sports history has been told. Or has it? On a Friday evening in Lake Placid, a plucky band of American collegians stunned the vaunted Soviet national team, 4-3 in the medal round of the 1980 Winter Olympic hockey competition. But there was another, un-chronicled side to the Miracle On Ice. The so-called bad guys from America's ideological adversary were in reality good men and outstanding players, and there was a certain shame in them having to live the rest of their lives with the results of February 22, 1980. Director Jonathan Hock explores the scope of the Miracle on Ice through the Soviet lens, giving it renewed suspense and a fresh perspective. In the wake of that famous loss, head coach Viktor Tikhonov and captain Slava Fetisov waged a personal battle that determined the future of Russian hockey.
