Greatness Code: Kelly Slater to reveal “full-on breakdown” in new Apple TV series, also starring Tom Brady and Lebron James: “I started crying and then I had to go out and compete…”

What one event tore apart the eleven-time world champ?

Y’think Apple has a chance at swinging viewers away from Netflix?

Yeah, me neither. 

It’s to Apple what Spotify was to iTunes. 

Still when you’ve got cash spilling out of the cupboards, you can afford to take a few chances.

And Apple are spearing a hunk of their 117 billion in cash reserves to create a TV and movie streaming platform, and if you buy a new Apple phone or computer y’gonna get a year of it for free. 

I got it and it ain’t pretty. 

Doomed, I would suggest. 

But.

A new seven-part docuseries called Greatness Code that covers “defining moments” in the careers of various sporting titans, Lebron James, Tom Brady, Usain Bolt, as well as eleven-time surfing champ Kelly, looks like it might have a few laughs.

Kelly promises to reveal the event that led to a  “full-on breakdown”.

“You think about this whole lifetime building to this one moment,” says Kelly.

What do you think the one moment is?

(Losing the title to Andy at Pipe in 2003?)

And why do you think he hasn’t spoken about it sooner?

NFL god Tom Brady, a co-producer of the series via his company Religion of Sports, says he’s “not sure” how he ended up alongside “the gnarliest gnar shredder @kellyslater…but I’ll take it.”

Episode one airs July 10.

Where Kelly falls in the seven-episode series is yet to be revealed.

I’ve said it before, if you read the psychopath test you’ll find a few startling similarities.

Liam Carroll

Is it when he gloved up in that first Taylor Steele movie and the lidded wonder clocked him?

J H

During his Baywatch run Slater was probably that famous. The show was doing a billion viewers a week globally.

Hippy

Is it possible to go back into time and root for Andy instead of Kelly?

Never been so sick of any athlete since Kobe.

Jimmy the Saint

They should have gone with Mike Stewart, more championships in a sport that is also as extinct as pro surfing

Kennypowersmullet

One of the most tubes humans on the planet. An a nice fella

J H

He’s the best QB of all time and married a Super Model who makes more money than he does,

Why should he be humble?

P.S. I am a die hard Jets fan and loathe him, Belichick and the Patriots.

FL Skunk Ape

Kelly, you know what I do here… DM me and send me a care package and i’ll whitewash any Slater hater commentary out of the comment board on this shitty low life website.

Chief Hot stuff

Whenever I see DM, I always think deep and meaningful.
What’s it really mean?

astro

It’s a variation of the dick pic, bexy.
They get together on video chat and Direct Measure.
It’s all very sad and pathetic really.

Chief Hot stuff

My girl just told me it’s direct message on facebook
But she won’t let me see hers
Fuk it
Out of sight, out of mind.
Shell never find another like me anyway.

Chief Hot stuff

J H

I see we’ve taught you well, Young Jedi.

Always be profiting!

Chuck Dukowski

Tom Brady not sure how he ended up alongside Kelly Slater? Brady’s wife Gisele was listing the men that she has screwed in order…

Gino

Was the time Trader Joe’s ran out of organic blueberry hemp kombucha.

Believe it or not, I was actually there at the restaraunt (at another table) and from what I overhead Cameron was complaining that she got a nasty yeast infection after sleeping with Kelly, and was simply using the breadstick to illustrate that yeast belongs in bread, not in her twat.

Wiggolly's Paddling Style

One of the benefits of you wearing a burqa is that we will never be able to truly verify this story. However I believe you.

Chief Hot stuff

It’s great for spying on people
An old ASIO trick.
If I get hassled I just scream RACIST

Gino

No need.
Surely you’ve seen the Chinese spy at the PM’s conference in Canberra in a bright red coat last week telling SBS not to film her.

Chief Hot stuff

I havent
But I read an article about how some abo girls workin at SBS said the cunts there were racist fukwits but not in so many words https://uploads.disquscdn.c…

Chief Hot stuff
Yeah_na

Wiggs would probs..

Waterproof Polo

Whoa! That’s some weird shit. And it was sbs, and they’re not exactly prone to hate crimes.. the article you cited aside

Shroom

Pauly from 2007 wants his comment back..

Chief Hot stuff

NEGATRON

Shroom

Shroom

Shroom

Admittedly a very low bar.

NEGATRON

Forgot about that!

Shroom

Haha good times old man

It’s definitely the moment when he was leaning down to buy some shampoo at the supermarket and some heartless dog cunt told him he should be careful cos he’s developing a bald patch at the back. I’m pretty sure LeBron and Tom Brady will have identical stories too.

J H

Kelly is just mad that LeBron found an okay-ish looking hair piece.

And that LeBron faked a hate crime before Kelly could,

Karl Von Fanningstadt

It’ll either be about when he “invented” the “greatest” fake wave ever made or when he decided to leave Quik after all those Titles in order to become greater than a sports champion to build an “ethically sustainable” clothing brand and become a champion of self-important jackasses everywhere… actually, probably about when Andy died, after he, Kelly, basically already had his tenth Title wrapped up.
“And why do you think he hasn’t spoken about it sooner?”
Because he’s now just making it up.

FelipesFrontFoot

Fuckin amen on the making it up

Brutus

I’ll give ya a hint…..broken hearted , at the quiky pro , lost in both rounds , and then returned home for family reasons……

Audit In Progress

I was guessing it would probably be that one time The Goat couldn’t comment on Insta because it was down for like 6 hours.

Chief Hot stuff

A pull.
