I can't wait for episode 2!

I have a feeling these episodes are going to get better and better each week

Carl’s right

The way this season is slowly building, “the town” believing and listening to tough love speeches is like a real life/ big city version of Gene Hackman resurrecting Hickory lol. They picked some year for cameras to follow this team.

So. Not just free publicity but get paid for it too? Well done.

I wonder if the NIL payments are for next year as well or were only for this year

"anything to do to market the product of St. John's Basketball, I will do."

Can't wait to see him dancing on a float in red chaps at the next Pride parade.

Another great episode. 2 things really stood out to me.

The comment by Rick about the Russian basketball team

And Zuby and his family. Easy to root for is an understatement

I did not know about Rick's child. That was a tough experience for him & his wife.

The show is fire. I don’t remember the sad story about his child. Devastating.

I do believe that’s the year they scorched us at the Garden before they played G’Town. I was at the game and Brooks and Donovan hit everything. I so wanted the rematch with the Hoyas but we were denied.

 

[Marillac2]

Extremely well done.

Great second episode.... loved the whole Zuby story about his family and second family. Love seeing the personal part of these kids lives. They are all so much more than just the players we see on the court. This is a great group. Thought it was real interesting hearing Rick say that last play at Creighton was for Zuby. As RJ drove the lane, Zuby was open at the three to RJs left. Surprising that a Zuby three was the call there from Rick?

Forgot about the Pitino's losing their baby son. What a tragedy for the whole family. Amazing to see how that team then went on to the final four.

Can't wait for next weeks episode.

Episode 2

Favorite moment so far... prior to NM game:

Rick during office interview: "It's not about who wins or who loses, it's about both teams playing a great game."

cut immediately to:

Rick mic'ed during practice: "WE DON'T WANNA LOSE TO THESE FUCKING GUYS!!"

Ep 2 in the books. Compelling.

A nit pick, pointed out by OLV72 to us in our group text.

RP says he grew up on E. 26th Street in Manhattan, just blocks from the Garden. Rick is 72, the Garden back then was the "old" Garden not the one down the street on 33rd Street like it is now. Eight Ave. between 49 and 50th Streets.

After watching Ep 2 how can anyone not LOVE Zuby, the back story about his families is so touching. His Pops seems so genuine and the reason behind us getting Zub.

Rick sitting around in the coffee shop b.s.ing and busting chops with his "guys", who doesn't relate to that.

I was weary, but I love this show, almost as much as Monte's Bound By Bushwick.

So Looie born and lived in Manhattan and so did Rick, two paisanos, “Cent'anni" !!!

Kind of surprised they didn't show or mention the fans in the Bahamas chanting Zuby's name during warm ups for VA game the day after Baylor game
