Great stuff on Spencer Haywood, the 1968 Olympics and growing up in the South in the 1960s.

Holy shit. I HAVE to see this documentary now. What an incredible life. I found that the late Dr. Wayne Dyer was instrumental in his education fascinating. I used to see Dyer around quite a bit here on Maui.

This should be mandatory viewing by rookies coming into the league. The Swaggy P's of the world have no idea of the struggles that came before them. Money has changed everything for them.
