ESPN 30 for 30: One Night In Vegas

Wow, one night i got home late and started watching a documentary on espn, 30 for 30: One Night in Vegas, it was really good then all of a sudden up pops one of my comicbook covers i did years ago for Revolutionary Comics. It was a Sports Legends cover featuring the brown bomber, Joe Louis, it was always one of my favorite covers since i was always a huge boxing fan growing up. I was so thrilled to be included in this awesome documentary

This was a very good documentary, and here is a brief description of it from one of their official sites for the show......

On the evening of Sept. 7, 1996, Mike Tyson, the WBC heavyweight champion, attempted to take Bruce Seldon’s WBA title at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. At this point in his career, Tyson’s fights had become somewhat of a cultural phenomenon, where the ever present hype of the professional boxing scene would come face to face with the worlds of big business, Hollywood, and hip hop. Sitting ringside was controversial rapper Tupac Shakur. Shakur and Tyson were friends, a feeling of kinship linked them as each rose to stardom from poverty only to be thrown in prison. Following Tyson’s victory, Shakur and “Iron Mike” were to celebrate at an after party, but the rap star never arrived. Shakur was brutally gunned down later that night, and the scene in Las Vegas quickly turned from would-be celebratory revelry to ill fated and inopportune tragedy. Director Reggie Bythewood, with the full cooperation of Mike Tyson, will tell not only the story of that infamous night but of the remarkable friendship between Tyson and Tupac.
