Bob Costas, playing himself, narrates the final scenes with what is supposed to be excitement but sounds mostly like disgust. High Flying Bird, the new film from Steven Soderbergh, is not really a sports movie. Basketball, meanwhile, is the one sport where player empowerment truly has grown by leaps in recent years. The background to the Davis saga is that the Pelicans are owned by the Benson family, who also own the New Orleans Saints. (Confusing this message somewhat is that the Pelicans on Friday canned the GM who didn’t bow to Davis’ demands.)
