Being a fan of Steven Soderbergh and enjoying many of his previous films, having not relatively been completely familiar with this film wen it was released but then so deciding to give it a watch. It was much different than had initially expected and for this reason quite worse.
By reading its plot description, expected something like "Draft Day" but the basketball version. What this film was is focusing more on the business side of the sport where it sort of felt like a documentary. Most of the scenes were one-on-one conversations from agents, clients, coaches or assistants. This isn't a sports film like most might assume. And for this reason is why many of these reviews consider the film to be boring- because they simply expected different (most likely a film showcasing basketball). This was just a lot of talking.
