Fuck da Blazers, yo

Had a really cool minimal soul of the game Blazers campaign that Harry the motherfucking Hutt fucked up.

Would've done with Denzel's monologue from this section. Called up my black copywriter hero and asked him about it while i was writing, and he was cool. Said Sheed could do the VO.

I've wondered if it was smart or racist of me since then to ask him.

ESPN.com%3A Page 2 - Sports Guy%27s Top Sports Movies%3A No. 40: "In the first scene%2C as Jesus slowly warms up to his father%2C they walk along the Coney Island Shore as Denzel waxes poetically about the great Earl Monroe. We find out that Monroe was so good%2C blacks started calling him %22Jesus%2C%22 which the white media changed to %22Black Jesus %28subtle info that only a director like Spike would have known%29. That%27s how Jesus got his name. Spike even throws in some Earl the Pearl footage to hammer the point home. It%27s a wonderful scene%2C and I don%27t mind using the word %22wonderful%2C%22 even if it makes me sound like Rex Reed. It%27s that good"
