Battlegrounds: King of the Court, 2005

Hosted by NBA 2-year veteran LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, this is the third installment of the Battleground series. This season, teams, instead of individuals, from two big cities in the U.S. play against each other to project which city produced the best team in the country. Illinois native Andre Iguodala of the Philadelphia 76ers assembles the team from Chicago and New York native Ben Gordon of the Chicago Bulls assembles the team from New York.

The documentary is a 6 part series (7 avi parts here though, 230MB or so each).

All NBA Rookies Episodes

Here are the 6 episodes from this great show.

It's a Spike TV show in association with nba enterntainment about the 2004 rookies. It looks like the ESPN show "The Life" except it follows 6 players (the guys you see above: Howard, Okafor, Iguodala, Nelson, Harris & JR Smith) during a full season from draft day to the end of the Playoffs. There are also rare footages from famous rookies like Pippen getting "friendly" slapped by Oakley, O'Neal spinning on the hardwood, Melo struggling during practice and much more.

After several upload attempts on other servers I've put them on Megaupload which doesn't seem to delete the videos.

NBA Rookies

This episode 4 has been the hardest file to upload so far. It must be cursed or something. I got unlucky so many times with the upload as it failed everytime around 90% of the process or the upload was completed but I had to "wait for the redirect", which never came. The file was originally 700MB but I managed to recompress it so now it's just 400MB and I finally could upload it right on Filefront. Last time I uploaded a Rookies episode there it only lasted for 1 day and got deleted, so grab this one in priority as it might be removed anytime soon.
I'm also reuploading the first 3 episodes for those who haven't seen them since it's a great show and you wanna watch it from the start.

NBA Rookies Episode 1

This show is great! I loved it when I watched it back in 2005. It's a Spike TV show in association with nba enterntainment about the 2004 rookies. It looks like the ESPN show "The Life" except it follows 6 players (the guys you see above: Howard, Okafor, Iguodala, Nelson, Harris & JR Smith) during a full season from draft day to the end of the Playoffs. There are also rare footages from famous rookies like Pippen getting "friendly" slapped by Oakley, O'Neal spinning on the hardwood, Melo struggling during practice and much more.
There's a total of 6 episodes and I'll upload 1 every other day.

In this first episode, you will see the anxious rookies waiting for their name to be called at the draft and at the same time decisions being made in the Sixers' "draft war" room, Okafor discovering with new team and trying to find his marks with Team USA, skinny Howard getting physically ready for the NBA, and so much more.
