I thought the one with Vlade Divac was among the top ones also.

This wasn't even top 5 for me. That's how good this series has been. Maybe top 10. Maybe.

EXCELLENT documentary.
I wish CWebb was involved with it, but whatever--kinda figured he wouldn't be since he's yet to address the whole situation.
As a 12-year old kid living in Michigan during the '91-'92 season, these dudes defined basketball for me. Mike was always an influence, but living in that state AND being a die hard U of M fan during their back-to-back championship game runs was something I will NEVER forget.
Back home in MI and around the world, they will always be legends man. These dudes transcended the game and still do. Like Jalen said, who was the starting lineup for UNC?
*sheds a tear for the good ol' days of college hoops and U of M basketball*

i can agree with that. if you could somehow police it so that it wouldn't get abused i would favor it. i agree that the players should be somewhat compensated based on how much revenue they bring the school they attend. i just didn't think of any pragmatic approaches to how they could be compensated outside of the tuition and housing.

1. The U
2. 2 Escobars
3. The Best that Never Was
4. The Fab 5
5. Once Brothers
6. Run Ricky Run
Fab 5 could have been the best if they had CWebb's story. But I cant imagine how he feels; you can tell he's still got that on his mind a lot.

Like my dude Trife said above being from Michigan and living in Michigan during the Fab Five era was just nuts. My dad was my 6th grade basketball coach and all the starters got to pick which member of the Fab 5 we got to be.
I cried like a baby when Chris Webber called that timeout.

When I was 12 I had my Michigan shorts stolen from the middle school locker room. Had me like
. Someone saw those shorts and got jelly. I wanted to get even but as a skinny short white kid I knew I wasn't about that life. Great doc, man.
