Personally I just can't get into the movie. Just not my taste. But from a trivia question perspective it has some good ones. Toni Basil was in that movie and I still get a kick out of that. And then there is Phil Spector...
I don't even remember watching the NBA until the '77 finals. It was all ABA in the house I grew up in. The point was that nationally there wasn't much of a draw. Bird and Magic made the NBA must see TV and the NBA became "cool."
Meh...
The one thing I will say is that Stephen A. wandered afield of his "expertise." MLB is not his forte. He isn't qualified to talk about the sport. I will also add that a "language barrier" is nothing new to MLB. Foreign born players have been around for quite a considerable time.
If you were my age you would appreciate the NBA of the 80's more than any other era. Quite frankly the league was hot garbage in the 70's. Not only were those players that came in during the 80's extremely talented they were the league's salvation. Can you imagine watching the NBA Finals on tape delay?
