Review of Rebound: The Legend of Earl 'The Goat' Manigault (1996) by Andrew S — 25 Dec 2010
Anyone that loves a comeback story, love the legends of NYC basketball (ala "The City Game" by Pete Axthelm) will love this movie.
The story begins at Kareem Abdul Jabbar's retirement when a reporter asks him about the greatest players he had gone against and saw play during his life. Kareem, who was known as Lou Alcindor, on the city courts in NYC before his conversion to Muslim was presses to give one name. He said, "That would have to be The Goat". This is Earl "The Goat's" story.
Don Cheadle, Eric Lasalle (who also directed it), James Earl Jones and others all give stellar performances. Kevin Eubanks,formerly of the Jay Leno Tonight show, does the score .
One of the greatest stories ever. One that should be in everyone's collection.
