I liked just about all of them but the Marion Jones one. As a Former Track stud, the whole documentary made me sick. I lost so much respect for the once talented John Singleton because of the way this was told. She is the definition of a loser. I don't care that she was a good basketball player or not, she helped destroy what Track & Field should & could have been here in the United States. Everything she says is complete BS. I hope she's a pariah for the rest of her pathetic life. It would have been one thing if she had just lied a few times, but the fact she lied FOR YEARS & constantly would go in front of cameras & say she wasn't using performance enhancing drugs destroys any sort of credibility she might have had. She's as bad as anything Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire, Jason Giambi, & Sammy Sosa did. Track & Field seems to still be trying to find an audience & she's a HUGE part of the reason why.

On a happier note. I loved "The U, The 2 Escobars, Tim Richmond, Who Killed the USFL, & the Best that never was, the best. They were all pretty dang good documentaries & many of them could have been released theatrically they were that well done.

If you are a fan of any sport on earth, this series is a must. Regardless of episode, ESPN is committed to tell a story of sports you have never heard of. Any true sports fan will glean a great deal of appreciation for the subject. Do not skip an episode!

Like ESPN's "Sports Century", the "30 for 30" stories get a lot of interviews from not just the athletes involved but coaches, media, family and friends to really get behind the scenes. I have enjoyed every episode I have watched but I have some personal favorites, like:

"The Band That Wouldn't Die"- being an old Baltimore Colt fan, this story of a band that kept together after the Colts' departure really hit home. They are now the Baltimore Ravens Marching Band.

"The Best That Never Was"- a poignant story of the unfulfilled promise of Marcus Dupree. Great interviews in this one with Sooners coaches Barry Switzer and Lu cious Selmon and Dupree himself.

"The Fab Five"- the story of the U. of Michigan's men's basketball team of the early 1990's that started five freshmen. Their story of reaching the national championship game in consecutive years and the later penalties (including vacating their Final Four appearances) is must-see viewing for any college basketball fan.

Other stories like "The U" and the one where Wayne Gretzky got traded to the LA Kings in 1988 were great, also. I give it 9 stars- it is simply a great show to watch!

A sport documentary series covering a wide range of sports while also telling the story about the social background and the cultural significance of famous sporting events. The genres and stories of the documentaries are varied and diverse like no others before them. Each documentary is done by a different director and crew somehow connected to the subjects of the documentary, giving every episode of the series a different feel and look, but keeping the overall tone and quality of the series in tact and providing them with a personal, sentimental touch of the director.

30 for 30 is a good doc show about professional athletes and their real super real unscripted triumph from winning unscripted games, unscripted championships, and getting drafted without a hidden hand to personal stories.

The narration and overall the whole product is very engaging. when you start a Thirty 4 Thirty you sometimes have to finish it because its presented and edited really well. I loved the Reggie vs NYC/Lee because Reggie is my favourite basketballer after the Doctor. Reggie vs the Knicks while MJ honestly retired was a good filler to get viewers in the seats. The rivalry may have been short but its top 5 greatest nba rivalries. You got a skinny guy who can only shoot vs the entire state of NYC. Verdict: a great unscripted sports show about unscripted events that the players who are not actors had to partake through.
