  • The episode uses interviews with Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudamire and Bonzi Wells to revisit Portland's late-1990s run and fallout.
  • Reported incidents include marijuana arrests for Wallace and Stoudamire, a referee threat by Wallace, and obscene gestures to fans by Wells.
  • Bonzi Wells says in the film that fans turned on him during that stretch.
