It is not a better story. Solider to slave to Gladiator to Savior of an Empire. Kind of like Kobe's story Champion to hated by everyone to MVP and soon to be champion again.
Well I like Braveheart more. Gladiator was just like one stage fight after the next. The emperor was very played though, as was Maximus. I dunno, I just felt Braveheart was better overall. I was emotionally attached.
Lol they were both great movies, I'm just more in favor of Gladiator. Mel Gibson was actually offered the role of Maximus, but turned it down.
Maximus was more badass. But Gibson's girl was hotter. They shouldn't have killed her she was nice :[
Just remembered to finish reading this interview, it was superb and insightful. Pau comes from quite a privileged family I think, but he's such a smart dude he had plenty of options with that intelligence and dedication. I really respect this man and I think he's great for the game.
Nadal is agile and smooth on the court, I don't really know what your point is. LeBron is boring to watch. That is a terrible analogy, Federer gets owned by Nadal and Nadal is known as the number one player in the world by winning so much, not with stats. Who has Federer ever beat in a Grand Slam that was that good? I like Sampras more than him too.
