What is your favorite basketball/NBA documentary?

[EveryManALion]

So I finally got around to watching all the ESPN 30 for 30s on Netflix and now I am hungry for more. I watched a few others on Youtube but seeing as this is where I go to get 90 percent of my basketball news and information I thought I would ask you guys and what is your opinion on some decent ones to watch?

P.S. Does anyone know where to watch "Gunnin’ for that #1 Spot"? I cannot find it ANYWHERE online and all the torrents have no seeders.

Thanks!:cheers:

I just didn't like how the rest of the team said they embraced being the bad guys and blah blah blah then IT, in every modern interview they did for the documentary, he tried to backtrack and play the nice guy. Damage control 20 years later.

ESPN's 30 for 30 series is the best programming on the channel. The Drazen Petrovich episode was among the best.

Hoop Dreams is my favorite basketball documentary, though.

Bad Boys doc is great.

Best doc with basketball in it? Hoop Dreams. A masterpiece.

I can't stand Isaiah as a commentator, he comes off as such a phony.

afaik, 'Hoop Dreams' is recognized as the most critically-acclaimed basketball documentary of all time.

When ESPN does the Allen Iverson documentary, they will call it

Isaiah is still young man. Give him a break. If he keeps saying stupid stuff after PHX, maybe we can talk about maturity.

He doesn't backtrack. He stated in Open Court that he played the style everyone else is playing. But because they didn't hide the fact they played that way, people piled it up on them.

Watch 80s, early 90s basketball, everyone played the same. People just mad the Pistons did it and owned up to it.

I really liked bad boys myself. They need to do more. There was a show on in early 2000s that did stories on current players. I totally forget the name.

Ive said before, it be cool if someone did NBA shoot interviews like in wrestling.
