Sports-themed biography, intense and real
The coach is so handsome!
Like the last info:
Don Haskin led the Miners to fourteen college league appearances and 719 victories, and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1997.
Texas Western College's victory over Kentucky was hailed as the greatest subversion in sports history and the most meaningful stop in the college league.
Don Haskin:
Kentucky is very strong and Adolph Rapp's name is deafening, so this win is significant
David Latin:
The first thought was do we really have a chance to win?
Pat Riley:
From the beginning we felt the pressure from each other and they played with incredible effort and passion
Eston Artis:
It was in that spirit that we won when David Latin shouted and fought them
Kentucky is a tough team, they're fast, and my rule of thumb is that we have to win
We ran into the field and we saw a huge crowd, the commentators were white, the cheerleaders were white, the referees were white, the reporters were white, and it was a hostile atmosphere.
I think this game can be regarded as the 1966 version of the Emancipation Proclamation, and when I read about this history in the books, I realized that there is more meaningful than five blacks against five whites.
The public always thinks black players are not good, saying they can't take the pressure to go, just scare them and they'll lose.
That's how white people thought of black people at the time, we can't compare to white people at all
We went through a lot of discrimination that season, people spat at us, fans called you nigga, idiot
That's how everyone saw it at the time, white team vs black team, that's how it was for us
We play football with a deeper meaning than they play, they just want to win another championship, what we have to prove is that people of all skin colors are the same, there is only opportunity, nothing is impossible
If I could go back in time, I really want to go over and shake hands with the Kentucky players, not to treat them with arrogance, not to say thank you for giving us the opportunity, the opportunity is not a gift, it is earned by us
Don Haskin and his team members pursued the sublime and made a great cause to imprint their footprints in history. They did it.
God is not fair, black people can't choose their skin color, but they choose their own destiny. It's not just a basketball game, it's a dignified victory!
What's wrong with being discriminated against? Destiny is in your own hands.
