Scott allowed Goldsmith's score to remain on European prints and the composer said, "that this dreamy, bucolic setting is suddenly to be scored by a techno-pop group seems sort of strange to me". [29] Normally, Goldsmith would spend 6–10 weeks on a film score, but for Legend, he spent six months writing songs and dance sequences ahead of time. [29] Only 12 players have averaged at least 25 points per game in the postseason, min. 70 games played. ... [+] Sorted by True Shooting. Stathead A centuries-long combination of trade, migration and the sheer deliciousness of Indian food has meant that the whole world now loves curry AND has their own unique way of making it!

Therein lies the issue with historical lists. You’re required to make arguments against other legendary players, even when you don’t want to. Arguing that someone is right outside the top 10, across the 75 years of basketball, should never be confused with ‘disrespecting’ one of the greats. It’s entirely possible to appreciate the legends of the past while understanding their spots on the pyramid aren’t set in stone. The list is fluid over time and it’s meant to change, especially when otherworldly superstars enter this rarefied air. The following songs are featured in the European and director's cuts, with lyrics composed by John Bettis (composer of many Carpenters songs) and music by Jerry Goldsmith: Is Your Love Strong Enough" (written and performed by Bryan Ferry over the U.S. print's end credits). Darkness: That is why I have called you here. Since I must remain in darkness, you shall be my eyes and ears. At the very worst, you could label him as an average defensive point guard throughout his career. Will he always be missing those All-Defensive selections that Kobe, Bird, and Duncan have? You bet.Scott wanted the character to be “very sexy” and suggested a satyr. After that, Bottin presented him with the idea of the red, devil-like makeup.

I will join the chorus... This is a beautiful, and thoroughly enjoyable fantasy film as long as you watch it in digital widescreen and do not bother with the 1hr 30min version. The Director's Cut(better known as the European release) is worthy of an IMDb rating of 8. The American theatrical release is worthy of a 6.5. The point is, a player launching himself into this territory this early is not unique to Curry. If a superstar’s peak performance is transcendent, breathtaking, and impactful enough, the longevity factor is not required. If that player is responsible for a culture shift within the sport – not just the league, but the sport – on a global scale, it’s perfectly fine if the résumé is still being constructed. Like Shaq, defenses still have no clue how to handle Curry in the halfcourt. It doesn’t matter if they are well-equipped to switch. He will find space and make you rethink your strategy. Shaq’s prime felt the same — defenses were subjected to the lesser evil, knowing it was only a matter of time before he coasted to 40 points. Throughout his career, Bird was 2.7 percentage points above league-average efficiency, while Curry is 7.5 percentage points above the modern average. At the time, Scott said, "European audiences are more sophisticated. They accepted preambles and subtleties whereas the U.S. goes for a much broader stroke." [28] He and Universal delayed the North American theatrical release until 1986 so that they could replace Jerry Goldsmith's score with music by Tangerine Dream, Yes lead singer Jon Anderson, and Bryan Ferry.

As for Curry’s placement among the top legacies in NBA history, it’s worth discussing how sensational he was to close this season. Scott's first cut of Legend ran 125 minutes long. [28] He then believed there were minor plot points that could be trimmed and cut the film down to 113 minutes, so he tested this version for an audience in Orange County. However, it was decided that the audience had to work too much to be entertained, and another 20 minutes was cut. [28] The 95-minute version was shown in Great Britain and then the film was cut down even further to 89 minutes for North America. [13] Power, Ed (September 30, 2015).

What he does at his size is so different from the traditional ‘greats’ in this league,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said after winning the 2022 title. “I’ve said it many times, Steph reminds me so much of Tim Duncan. Totally different players, but just from a humanity standpoint, from a talent standpoint, humility, confidence. It’s this wonderful combination that just makes everybody want to win for him.” Playten, in an additional uncredited contribution, provides the voice of Gump, because an executive thought that Bennent's voice sounded too German.
