description: In the brave new world of the NBA players are marketed like cartoon characters and image is all: pro basketball has become the most hyped product on the planet. Amid the relentless selling of the NBA it's become increasingly hard to get close to the game and more importantly to the human beings who live and breathe hoops: the coaches and players. That's what Full Court Pressure - a detailed hilarious poignant look at the Seattle Sonics - accomplishes. Curt Sampson spent the 1993-94 season with the Sonics on and off the court. He casts a jaded and very funny eye at the NBA promotion machine and he gives the true fan all the X's and O's they want.
