30 for 30 love

I am a huge fan of the sports documentary titled "30 for 30" on ESPN.


For those who don't know it is a group of  documentaries that chronicles different, unique, special, memorable moments and people in sports history.
30 directors exploring 30 different topics.  The research is concise, the reporting is thorough, they conduct fearless story telling at it's finest.
 The story of 'The Fab Five", is my absolute favorite 30 for 30 documentary. The 5 talented freshmen who went to the University of Michigan went to the NCAA Championship twice.
The bigger deal is the life experiences that they gained along the way, trials and tribulations they overcame as a team and personally. (See the Chris Webber time out)
30 for 30 documentaries go very in depth and are well written and produced.
I know the the hearty sports fans know what I'm talking about.
My top five 30 for 30 documentaries are as follows:

1. The fab 5- The coming of age of 5 talented freshmen who changed the world of college basketball forever.

2. You don't know Bo- The greatest two sports star of all time and the unfortunate ending to his career.

3. Survive and advance- The NC State Wolfpack National Championship of college basketball and their tear jerking account of their run to the title. (not to mention Jimmy Valvano)

 4. Believeland- The tumultuous struggle of a city thirsty for a World Championship and the eventual quenching of that thirst with a Cleveland Cavaliers championship win.

 5. The U part I- One of the most fun 30 for 30 docs, the dominant college football program of the late 80's early 90's absolutely invented swagger. The Miami University Hurricanes
