No it was not. But I just made the valid statement that Rudy, it (Moneyball), and Miracle were all based on true stories, and a lot of the scenes were true.

Karate Kid gets my vote. I can't think of any other sports movie where the villain is the protagonist; we finally get to see the other side of a sports story.😲 This right, Daniel-san is the bad guy.
Johnny Lawrence, despite losing the final match because of Daniel's cheating, displays great sportsmanship and personally hands the 1st place trophy to Danny. You da man, Johnny.🤩 Truly an inspirational character who shows us how to lose with grace and dignity.

Well, if you like Karate Kid, then you really need to watch Cobra Kai. It is well done, two seasons are already in the books, and Season 3 premieres on Netflix on January 8th:
Season 1 Trailer:
Season 2 Trailer:
Season 3 Trailer:
Again, well, well done.
When I was a small kid, my quite wonderful mother bought me the book - a lovely, fat, hardback with large print - that this movie was based on.
Cobra Kai is just a fun, entertaining, fantastic series. Aware of itself and of its own limitations, this series really brings out the best in TV-series making. It's just great. Can't wait for S3.
Yes, that is certainly the case. And the other good news is that Season 4 of Cobra Kai has been "ordered up" by Netflix!
