Introducing his never before seen 'leaping one-hander' to the masses on a national level, Kenny Sailors quickly grew to be a fan favorite while leading his Wyoming Cowboys to the Collegiate National Championship in Madison Square Garden in 1943. But after playing on several losing teams in an unstable, emerging league now known as the NBA, Kenny disappeared into the Alaskan wilderness only to be forgotten by the sport he helped pioneer. Now, nearly sixty years later, the multitude of people he has touched along the way have forced Kenny’s humble reemergence.

Review

Boringname

This is a very entertaining documentary. The man it follows, Kenny Sailors, has lead a very interesting life worthy of several documentaries, and is woefully unrecognised by history. His wikipedia page is far too short for the stories told in this film. It is well paced, has excellent editing and cute animated segments, what more could you want?
