ESPN 30 for 30 Fab Five documentary

Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:16 pm

anybody watch this? it was really good. a bit of controversy when Jimmy King said he thought Grant Hill was a bitch in 1993 and Jalen calling black Duke players Uncle Toms at the time. I don't see any controversy in it at all.

Grant Hill's response was pretty eloquent.

I loved this, a great documentary.

First time I've actually sat through a whole 30 for 30

you should really watch the vlade/drazen one and the reggie one. both were top-notch (Y)

Haven't gotten around to watching this one yet but from what I've seen of the 30 for 30 films they're interesting.

I agree on the Vlade/Drazen one being a good watch. Haven't watched the Reggie one either. Being a Canadian and knowing how big hockey and Wayne Gretzky is in this country (I followed the NHL really closely prior to following the NBA closely, pre-lockout circa 2004; after the lockout I just sorta switched onto the NBA), "KIng's Ransom" which talks about Gretzky being traded from Edmonton to Los Angeles was an interesting watch. Same goes for the one that's all about the day the OJ Simpson pursuit thing happened and basically what was happening on the day in sports (clips of the actual pursuit, other NBA/MLB games that were happening on the same day).
