Lights Out in Blackham 'Slam Dunked' Documentary

[CajunVic]

That is a creative way to say defenseless.

There was no justification for what the NCAA did to Louisiana Basketball.

All because Authement refused to present the case, they gave the death stamp.

In the 43 pages of this thread, you are literally the first and only one to bring up or use the word "culture"

Give Dwight Bo Lamar, Beryl Shipley, and all the cutting edge players the credit they deserve and release Lights Out in Blackham

I'm not invested financially. However, am of that generation.

Each passing day, Blackham becomes more irrelevant. People of that generation are aging out. The younger generation cares less for sports with each birth. The racial side is lost today in the "everyone is a victim" mentality.

The ESPN 30 on 30 window is about nailed shut by apathy on the part of America. I'm sure those with this vision would love to see it completed.

Bump.

Posted this 6 years ago. Think it’s safe to say the light went out on this project years ago.

Would need someone with connections to media, drive and money. This is now a Spike Lee type project.

Maybe some hard truths were discovered during the production and the makers just got discouraged and walked away.

It is possible, but it would hard to beat the known hard truth of the actual death penalty.

An embarrassing hard truth is that none of the compiled defense was presented to the NCAA which resulted in the DP.

That is why the evidence was still available for Ron Gomez to write Slam Dunked. That defense was supposed to be in an NCAA vault somewhere in Indianapolis.

Not even close. The film maker was discouraged but it had nothing to do with his findings.

Get someone like Spike Lee to produce it.
