This documentary, directed by Emio Tomeoni, also known by The NBA Storyteller, follows his six-year journey to uncover the real Leroy and understand his struggle to reclaim his story. In 1977, Smith beat out Jordan for a high school varsity spot, a moment Jordan later used to fuel his competitive drive for 30 years. Unknown to Leroy, who was overseas, Jordan’s tale of being cut became famous. When Leroy returned to the U.S., he discovered his name had become a part of Jordan’s legend. The film delves into Leroy’s quest to reclaim his identity and sanity in the shadow of one of basketball’s greatest icons. "I spent a lot of years trying to move past being 'the guy who beat out Michael Jordan,' but it was always there, a part of my story whether I liked it or not." - Leroy Smith "Six years after starting my YouTube series, Leroy contacted me, and we set up an interview. And I was able to get every single answer to every single question I had. Beyond that, I met a real person who had been navigating this strange position, living between trying to live a normal life and being part of Michael Jordan's legendary story." - Emio Tomeoni Leroys Podcast : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lessons-from-leroy/id1716457619 https://lessonsfromleroy.buzzsprout.com/ Fun Links Mjs Playground Documentary: https://youtu.be/h7BjAMjwS1c Mjs Playground Music video: https://youtu.be/VQ2980ItO7M Leroys Podcast : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lessons-from-leroy/id1716457619 https://lessonsfromleroy.buzzsprout.com/ Stock Footage From Storyblocks.com Stock Music from Soundstripe.com Special Thanks to #LeroySmith #MichaelJordan #fredBrown #Thisamericanlife Advertisers and beyond email: etomeoni@gmail.com Voice overs by Ethan Herschenfeld : https://www.ethanherschenfeld.com/ #nba #sports #michaeljordan #documentary #thisamericanlife #lessonsFromLeroy Link to Articles in films https://www.espn.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=reilly_rick&id=4477759 https://sports.yahoo.com/news/jordans-night-remember-turns-petty-075600787--nba.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHC7Ghwb1nbzKWRPzEYSnJApnNgEd7o0Upvr0VJEELDNUIOO2cahv3EXI_FJ1IwtBnCqHAkkLzffqLuklTiWiWvEEJtT7pA0l5Wfv0VcJs-XumrVVOaIYM848ilu1EiTcXiLYAlvQ2BcZm45Eka4TXgI6Ho0krzQIYgBfc9P9Lde 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:04 Hall of Fame 00:09:01 My Obsession 00:12:27 Come Fly with me 00:15:21 Michael Jordans Playground 00:18:55 Was MJ even cut? 00:30:34 Loyalty 00:34:01 Pop Herring 00:39:28 David Vs Jordan 00:47:28 Trapped 00:48:22 Remember the contract/Charlie Murphy 00:56:16 WAIT THERE'S MORE 01:02:33 My Conclusion </video> <video> Backlash to Michael Jordan’s hof speech #nba #michaeljordan #thenbastoryteller #documentary Description: #nba #michaeljordan #thenbastoryteller #documentary </video> <video> Wilt Chamberlain had no interest in getting married Description: Please watch: "Michael Jordan and Leroy Smith : The Man & The Myth (An Original Documentary)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdIAo2jrFro --~-- </video> <video> Stephen A.

The buzz, the excitement, The hoisting, the impending core self collapse, all the big questions loom: Can TNBAST Emio secure autographs from legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or legends for other reasons like Juan Toscano-Anderson? With humor, nostalgia(aka regret) and a touch of suspense(maybe full blown lies..idk at this point) dive into a (hot ass) journey filled with iconic names, from the 1977 Seattle Supersonics to the supersonics from the 90's and the 1977 dunk contest featuring a supersonic ... all the way to Isaiah Hartenstein. Smothered by the condensed air of expectations and humidity of Las Vegas, will TNBAST Emio's convention nightmares collapse into reality or will he completely embarrass himself in uncountable and unknowable ways. Some goal will be accomplished and some goalS wont(?) i guess.

When we forget things we usually embellish our stories a little (hopefully not a lot) to keep people interested. Even if we remember an event and it's not interesting enough then we embellish. Everyone does it. Especially those of us with self-esteem issues. Here are some of my favorite embellishments that I found from NBA stars. Shawn Kemp - He claims Larry Bird gave him 50 in three quarters The Celtics only played sonics once in the 89-90 season. Bird scored 40 points. Double checked and there's no 50 point game against seattle. Kyrie Irving - Jose Calderon - He claims Calderon gave him 26 and 14. The only time Jose Calderon scored 26 points was 11/21/2008 against the Nets. Looks like he never scored above 20 against Cleveland. In Irving's first game against Calderon the statline is 15 pts, 6 rebounds, and 11 assists for calderon.Irving says he was 6 and 6 but he had 6 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds. Allen Iverson says in his 1996-97 rookie season that 76ers played three games against Suns- He says Kevin Johnson scored 39, 9 and 9 against him but he got 36 pts, 8 ast, 3 rebounds. Still good, but not the same. Paul Pierce - This is my favorite one because he prefaces it by saying "I ain't going even going to lie to you" and then the man named "The Truth" says in the 1998-99 season Grant Hill scored 38 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds which is very specific. But the only games from that season show -March 12, 1999 - Hill - 33 pts, 8 asts, 8 rebounds -April 27, 1999 - 32 pts, 2 ast, 4 reb So The Truth was lying. Remember, it's okay to say "I don't remember exactly."
