Born Ready, Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch ‘Gunnin for that #1 Spot’

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

From Salon.com - the best part of “Gunnin’ for That #1 Spot” is the actual Elite 24 game. (This year’s tournament will be held on Aug. 22.) Taking up at least a third of the film, the game is a supercharged, fast-paced, immersive experience that celebrates the players’ showmanship and true talent. Yauch replays, rewinds, slows down and speeds up the footage to explore the plays from different angles. Exquisitely cut to a fast-paced hip-hop soundtrack, the game is part music video, part video game and part pure, joyful basketball.
