"KU Basketball...a fabulous thrillride worth seeing!"
By Jeffrey Auslander
What is to be expected from a show that so many critics are buzzing about? Well, as a critic myself, I can tell you that this show is mesmerizing. There have been excellent shows in the past, but this one flies out of the screen and ascends to the heavens. It really is kind of freak-like. It all starts with the directing and producing. Roy Williams turns in another winner with his great ability to get his players to use their skills and get 100% out of them. I almost don't feel worthy of writing a story and being able to use his name. He is a god. The show starts out with lead characters Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce giving a dunking exhibition. However, they are humbled when a rookie named Kenny Gregory and a kid from Louisiana named Lester Earl come along and out dunk them. LaFrentz and Pierce spend much time trying to catch up with the two journeymen, but they decide to just settle with being first team All-Americans. Meanwhile, Gregory scares you out of your seat with his 40+ inch vertical, and that winning smile. Earl, puts down his New Orleans style gumbo and terrifies the audience, too. But the show only starts there.
If you like cinematography, this show will tie you up with aerial shots from the likes of Billy Thomas, Ryan Robertson, and Pierce. Thomas, who is smooth as "straight butta," unloads an artillery of 25-footers that are bound to make you duck for cover. Robertson, who has the best hair in the show, slashes to the left and to the right, then he uncorks a smooth, natural stroke of three point love. Pierce just adds to that love by downing his very own appetite of long-distance dedications. "The bombing scenes absolutely made me call home and ask for help," said an anonymous coach from Manhattan, Kansas. After the dunking and bombing sequences, there are outstanding supporting performances by T.J. Pugh, Nick Bradford, Jelani Janisse, C.B. McGrath, Eric Chenowith, and Chris Martin. All show dramatic and powerful efforts to influence the rest of the Jayhawk team.
The Jayhawks dazzle throughout the show and use their powers to knock down all the evil. Even the evil that lies in an infamous school in the deep southwest. They travel Miles to knock down every Simon and Wildcat that gets in their way. (Please read the words that are capitalized in the preceding sentence) The show ends in a city somewhere in the middle of Texas. I think it was San Antonio, but I am not quite sure, also I don't like to jinx. However, with all the high-flying talent and enthusiasm this show has to offer, you would be wise to check it out. Maybe at a place called Allen Field House...or something.
