Disappointed Laker fan....
|
| Being a lifelong Laker fan, I was excited to view this release. However, after viewing it, I was disappointed. First of all, the highlights are not adequate. This video is only an hour, with the last 4 minutes being a video by the band Sugar Ray. What??? The last half of the video is highlights of the Finals, which I think was quite a bit of coverage for just 5 games. Not only that, but at least half of the highlights were of the Sixers, not the Lakers. Other than game one, the story line of each game goes like this - a highlight of Shaq dunking, one of Kobe scoring, and a "Oh, by the way, the Lakers are up by 20". Then the next 5 minutes show Larry Brown telling his players not to give up, play with heart and highlights of Iverson!! Then the scoreboard shows Lakers by 5 or 7 with a minute to go! What kind of coverage is that? This video focuses more on the Sixer comeback runs than the highlights of the Lakers building big leads in the first place! That leaves me to wonder if the producers actually knews who won this series?? And what about hightlights of the Spur-Laker series? I expected to see much, much more highlights of this series, especially games 3 and 4 where LA won by huge margins. This was addressed in the video something like "the Lakers ended up winning game 3 by 20+ points and game 4 by 30+ points". There were hardly any highlights of these games, which I consider the high-point of this great playoff run by the Lakers! Also, the first ten to fifteen minutes of this video focuses on the riff that developed between Kobe and Shaq towards the beginning of the season. Great story line, but old news. This subject could have been covered in two minutes, with more time alloted to other playoff hightlights. Last, why isn't this release available in DVD? A DVD release would allow more highlights, plus bonus footage. USA Home Entertainment did a lousy job on this release, in my opinion. Lakers rule again and again and again! |
