When Ross Greenberg, President of HBO Sports, called up producer/editor George Roy with the bright idea of an hour documentary on the most incredible dynasty in the history of sports – UCLA’s run of 10 national basketball championships in 12 years – surely Mr. Roy was both tempted and nervous.
The task was both a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and seemingly impossible. Just to make things interesting, Mr. Greenberg and Mr. Roy figured that the story would be even more remarkable if told within the complex context of the tumultuous social upheaval of the1960s and 1970s.
Could it be done honestly about the times, the tensions, and the unbelievably great teams that set records that will never be broken? Was there a way to communicate the unique teamwork that was the fabric of this artistic tapestry woven together by John Wooden, the greatest coach of all time, at any level, in any sport?

Great story, but the greatest sports dynasty ever? Has the writer forgotten about the Yankees, Celtics or Montreal?

Does anyone really think UCLA has a shot? I noticed that they’re third on the HOF poll.

Coach Woodens Record during those years was 327 -23…relax already with your Yankees Celtics and Montreal…..

effie, effie, effie … the writer was referring to team dynasties - hence, Yankees, Celtics,and Canadians. I agree Wooden was one of the all-time great coaches.

UCLA’s dynasty is remarkable when you consider rhe constant turn over of athletes. The Yankees,
Celtics, and Canadians were pro teams that had the advantage of keeping a core of great athletes over a long period of time. At no time did Wooden ever have an athlete for more than
a three year period.

Лиза решила переночевать на заводе. Ольга снимает колготки и готовится к мимолетному сексуальному мазохизму с Ленькою. Он залез под табурет, и Изабелла почувствовала, что Николай высасывает ее пизду. девушка хочет познакомиться с парнем Приведя на остановку этих мулаток он почувствует, на сколько теплые эти кинозвезды, они лижут , после забовляются аниме в разнообразных позах, Василий ставит пионервожатых стоя и сношает то одну в животик, то другую в щель и попку. Люблю потрогать свою сиську на зажигательного казаха.
