The Legend of Dwight Anderson Documentary debuts tonight
One if the greatest, if not the greatest, basketball players who have ever graced the city of Dayton will have his story told to the world as the Dwight "The Blur" Anderson documentary will air tonight (6pm) at the Kroc Center.
Anderson, who although in his mid 50s, still can hoop with the best of them (young and old).
And he still does dominate. On a daily level.
The story will chronicle the life of Anderson starting as a youngster, as he progresses to High School, in which he was widely considered the best player in the country when he decided to attend Kentucky for college.
There will be exclusive interviews with some of the great sports heads regarding Anderson, along with the footage of "The Blur" as he was nicknamed because of his great ability to get anywhere he wanted, when he wanted. And to also score.
From anywhere. At anytime.
He once hit a shot from behind the backboard in a college game, "Larry Bird style" before Larry did it. Announcer Al McGuire announced a star is born after one of his games as a frosh at Kentucky in which he dominated the opposition.
With 8+ years put into the documentary, this sure to be sports entertainment at its finest.
The story is produced by Cincy native and Journalist Branson Wright. Wright currently works for Cleveland Plains Dealer.
Doors will open at 5.
First come first serve seating, so get there early.
Or you'll miss it in a Blur.

1st Annual Knox Indy Pro Am Challenge tonight; NBA stars on tap
With the Summer almost over, now is the time where NBA players are getting ready to get into shape and head back to training camp in a few weeks. However, the people in Dayton and the Miami Valley will get to see the last BIG NBA Showcase today (6pm @ Trent Arena, Fairmont High School).
Carlos Knox, one of the legends of Dayton and Indiana basketball (Meadowdale HS, IUPUI) will be bringing his Knox Indy Pro Am on the road back to his hometown, as the best of Indianapolis will battle the best of the DYT in this Sunday Showdown.
The Indy players will feature starting Pacers PG George Hill, reserve G Lance Stephenson (former Cincy Bearcat) and Starting PG for the Champion Miami Heat Mario Chalmers. The Dayton NBA players will be Miami Heat G Norris Cole, Oklahoma City Thunder G Daequan Cook, and Toronto Raptors F and former UD Flyer Chris "Flight" Wright.
There will be one surprise player, as legend Dwight Anderson (all 50+ years of him) will be battling on the court with the Dayton squad as well. Just the fact that he can still play (and yeah he can STILL BALL with the best of em) out there is a testament to his skills.
Knox, who has the best summer league in Indy, has been quoted as being "blessed and excited" to bring this opportunity to Dayton. The buzz has been tremendous, the event should be sold-out and he is looking forward to the atmosphere and show.
This is definitely SOMETHING YOU DONT WANT TO MISS.
