Mr. Chibbs Analysis
In 2005, after 14 seasons he would retire with career averages of 12.6 ppg, 6.1 apg, and 1.5 spg
Now let's slow the game down.
Life after basketball for Anderson has had its ups and downs and brought about troubles including alcohol addiction, depression, financial struggles, failed relationships
In an attempt to get his life on the right track and provide an example for up-and-coming athletes and anyone dealing with troubled pasts and the ups and downs of life
Anderson teamed up with (writer, producer, and director) Jill Campbell and Barry Greenstein (producer) to put together documentary about the life of Kenny Anderson entitled "Mr. Chibbs".

but you never know what emotions (failure, guilt, pressure to succeed, denial) are harboring inside
Anderson's success in basketball allowed him to escape the past and push those skeletons back even further in the closet during that time
But what about after basketball
Basketball is easy, Life is hard.
Life has its ups and downs which is something that we all experience and can relate to.

As a kid growing up in the early 90's, Kenny Anderson
(alongside Tim Hardaway...I know my hoop heads remeber the killer crossover) was my favorite player.
Of course Michael Jordan was top dog and is the G.O.A.T but with with Kenny Anderson coming out of NYC and being a point guard which was the position I played as a child I favored Anderson.
I can remember the days when I would rewind my NBA BELOW THE RIM vhs tape to the point where it was ready to pop. The good ole days.
Shouts out to Kenny Anderson. Good work on the documentary. Much needed in these days and times.

    The documentary, “The Two Towns of Jasper,” was excellent in my mind for many different reasons. It told of a black man being chained to the back of a pickup for three miles by three white men. The documentary consisted of good interviews, captive images, and the information was quality and factual.…

    Dennis Rodman, whose extraordinary rebounding skills helped the Pistons and Bulls win five championships, may be better-known among NBA fans for his unusual haircuts, offcourt antics and turbulent retirement. He reminded Bulls fans and writers of that side of him Wednesday, with a colorful and tear-filled press conference before Game Two of the Eastern Conference finals between the Bulls and Miami. (In an unintentional homage to the Worm, the Bulls gathered a greater share of offensive rebounds than their opponents, though they still lost, knotting the series at a game apiece.)…

As long as there is a court, there lies the opportunity to experience the hoop dream. For the likes of Tchaka, Russell, Corey, and Bill Russell, their paths may have been different, but their struggle for greatness in the ever-shrinking window of the hoop dream is all too familiar.…

    When it comes down to a film or television series that is known as a popular hit, most people may consider something along the lines of a comedy or drama. No one, in my opinion, gives much thought into viewing a film such as a documentary. A person may say or hear the word ‘documentary’ and particular stereotypical views such as elderly-people-sitting-around-on-a-Sunday-afternoon-with-nothing- better-to-do, or the history channel perhaps come to mind. Not many individuals give documentaries a chance, but I would encourage the viewing of the Academy award-winning documentary, Murder on a Sunday Morning, also known as Un Coupable Ideal, directed by the French-film maker Jean-Xavier de Lestrade.…

Not only did it succeed in receiving positive reviews from critics, it was also nominated and had won several awards in the year of 2005 and 2006. Coach Carter is an American biographical sports movie which is based on a true story of Richmond High School basketball coach Ken Carter, who made headlines in 1999 for benching his entire undefeated basketball team, Richmond Oilers for their poor academic performance.

    Michael Jordan is arguable the best basketball player who ever played the game. A phenomenal athlete with the unique combination of fundamental soundness, grace, speed, power, artistry, and an unquenchable competitive desire, Jordan single-handedly redefined the NBA superstar. The thing that separated Jordan from the rest of the all-time greats was his compulsive need to win. Jordan was and is still known for his intense competitiveness and will to win, but that has not translated to his ownership of the Charlotte Bobcats.…
