    Actually that's not the ending, just the sequel.

    It's traditional for the protagonist to suffer setbacks from his success so that he can have a rebirth in Part 3, and thus showing everyone why he was so great in the first place.

    Glad it's not solely focusing on his time in NY. That security did not know he was on the team is really telling..

    Here's video from KSL...

    I'm glad Jeremy was able to make it for the Q&A at least.

    Too bad that things didn't go as planned with the snow and all but then most everything in Jeremy's life hasn't gone as planned, I guess. It seems to be working out OK anyway. :)

    Did anyone else from the team go? Or did they decide to skip it since they missed the opening of the movie anyway, and save viewing it for another time when they're not as road weary, and decided to use the time to rest and settle in from the storm?

    I wonder if this is Lin's first time viewing the document? If it is, I hope it has the same effect on him as when the Rocket's coaching staff showed the team game footage of a great games they had played this season. Maybe he needs a reminder of how fun and how great he played when he had a carefree, nothing to lose, confident attitude.

    And talk about great timing. Playing the Nets on Saturday and then Jazz on Monday, replicating the start of "Linsanity."

    Now if Harden goes down with a pulled groin in the first quarter of tonight's game, then it's destiny. ;) Just to be explicit, I don't want Harden suffering any injuries and missing any games for the rest of his career.

    It seems no one from the team went because it was too late to catch the film. Jeremy was only there for the Q&A and media.

    Jeremy has seen portions of the film but not the full final version.

    So, maybe even the snowstorm was a blessing in disguise for Jeremy in regards to this film....He didn't have to feel awkward during the screening but still found out that at least some teammates and staff were excited to see the film...

    And he'd like to see a film made about Omer. :)

    When you're a marginalized minority with barely any civil rights it's tough not to root for somebody that had overcome that........
