Starts out killing lions, ends up fighting for the rebellion.  There's a movie in there.

I think that would be a very very good film. But who'd play Mike? Not Mike. That's for sure

I would be very interested to watch a Barry Bonds autobiography where he unveils everything hes done and gets into the nitty gritty of steroid use.

Obviously would never happen though..

Some rather poor attempts have been made at making movies about some of these people, but I would like a present-day, serious, thorough, (and as factual as possible), adaptation to film, (aka the recent "Ali" starring Wil Smith), made with integirty on the lives of Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Joe Louis, Wayne Gretsky, Dan Osman, Jeret Peterson, 1980 USA Olympic Hockey Team, Darryl Stingley, Mark Spitz, Pele, Wayne Wong, Rubin Carter, Reggie Lewis, Manny Pacquiao, Jean-Claude Killy, Lou Gehrig, Len Bias, Joe Garagiola, George Mikan, Joe Jackson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and most of all his teacher, Bruce Lee.

I love those 30 for 30s about players that were can't miss and missed

Felipe Lopez, Ronald Dupree, Heath Shuler, Ryan Leaf, and Lenny Cook would make really good movies if done right
