NBA 30 for 30's you would like to see.

[CJ Mustard]

There's the obvious ones:

Malice at the Palace
Kobe rape case
The Decision
Kobe/Shaq
Lockout

Other ones I'd like to see:

Portland Jailblazers
KG in Minnesota (contract, loss of draft picks, etc)
2004 Olympics (USA choke)
Lakers/Kings rivalry

[fpliii]

Dennis The Menace
Straight To The Pros (High School studs that made the jump to the NBA)
One Last Stand (examining the final years of the NBA's greatest players; fitting for Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett)
AND 1

[J Shuttlesworth]

Game 6

[WayOfWade]

On a serious note, just Kobe and his career, both highs and lows.
On a not so serious note, pretty much everything OP put up

[Duggrr]

Kings/Lakers controversy
Jailblazers or Roy/Oden/Aldridge demise

2011 Miami Heat - Far and away the most hated and scrutinized team in NBA history. And they had such a crazy up and down season. It would be make for a fascinating documentary.

[AboutBuckets]

If there isn't one about the ear 2000s Kings and the controversy surrounding their postseason shortcomings, that would be an interesting one. Have Donaghy be the 'insider' and put it all out there

[1987_Lakers]

Dirk 30 for 30
Duncan 30 for 30
Dress Code 30 for 30
When they used that new ball in 2006 30 for 30
Uniforms from past to present 30 for 30

This is somewhat forgotten, I don't even believe new NBA fans know that the NBA used a new ball to start the '06-'07 season, it turned out to be a disaster, players couldn't stop complaining about the new ball and the NBA quickly switched back to the old ball like 1 month into the season.:oldlol:

IDK what the hell Stern was thinking there.

[Duderonomy]

Yeah the malice at the palace would be a good one. There could be a story in there about how it changed Ron Artest's life around. Or how it closed whatever window Indiana had for a championship. In a what could have been type deal.

Lebron will get one either about leaving the Cavs or his Heat years or about going 2-7.

The Spurs wouldn't have much entertainment value. So that's probably a no go.

The Kings screwjob won't be done, since ESPN pays alot to air the games and it would cast the NBA in a bad light.
Same reason why CNN or Fox won't cover conspiracy theories.

The dismantling of the Bulls and the Shaq vs Kobe saga

[1987_Lakers]

The dismantling of the Bulls and the Shaq vs Kobe saga

To be fair they won 6 titles in 8 years and were dismantled when the players started to age. Even if MJ never retired, Phil & Pippen stayed I'm not sure they would have won another title, it wasn't like the team was broken apart when they just started winning titles and everyone was in their prime.

Going off topic a bit, but I would like to see a 30 for 30 about the early-mid 70's Oakland A's. This is a team that won 3 straight world series (Yankees are the only other franchise to achieve this) and they are never talked about. They also had an owner who was cheap and never payed his players. He also cut a player during the World Series because the player made an error in the game, dude was a straight ass and the players hated him.

The good and bad decisions (including a more detailed explanation of the Chris Paul trade-that-never-happened) made by David Stern and how his reign (dictatorship?) changed the NBA over the past 30 years.

Should really just be a 30 for 30 on the Bulls dynasty as a whole. Lots of storylines surrounded the dynasty. The greatness of Jordan, the introduction of Phil, the feud with management, Pippen being so grossly underpaid, Jordan's first retirement, bringing in Rodman, the numerous superstars who ended up ring less largely because of them, Bulls/Pistons rivalry, Bulls/Knicks rivalry, Bulls vs Rockets what if, the ultimate breakup of the team, etc.

That would be great. But do you think they could really do the whole Bulls dynasty justice in just two hours? 30 for 30s are pretty in depth.

Shaun Livingston's recovery

outside of basketball I'd like one on the pakistani cricket teams match fixing scandal in england afew years back. lots of odd stories floating around about that but I think the ICC would be happier to keep that one hidden.

I firmly believe they beat San Antonio in 99. Just think, they won 62 games with Pippen missing half the season. Had they had Pippen the hwhole season, theres no doubt that they at least flirt with 70 wins. 67 at the least. Age be damed they were still a great team. And the shortened season would have only benefited them so much more because they could've went right to the playoffs.

I just think that's an iconic terminology and very unique. It would make sense as the title of a documentary on Stern. Not the revoked CP3 trade. Basketball Reasons would talk about Stern's massive influence on globalism of the game, marketing, and saving the league from the depths of hell prior to becoming comissioner.

Pippen being underpaid was his own fault for the long term contracts he signed due to personal insecurity. Jordan, the greatest player ever, was grossly underpaid until the last 3 seasons he was on the Bulls. Where he deserved every ounce of the 30+ mill a year he was making.

@ 97 bulls regarding the dismantling of the dynasty before the 1999 lock out season.

Absolutely Chicago could've won in '99. MJ wanted to play still. He would've kept himself, and the rest of the breakfast club (Scottie, and Harper) in game shape.

All the Bulls needed to do was bring in some form of young legs to supplement the Bulls aging top players. I think Rodman by that point wore out his welcome, so he would've had to been shipped out.

I think the Bulls could've beat a championship inexperienced San Antonio team in '99. They weren't youthful juggernauts.

If the 8th seed Knicks, sans Ewing got to the Finals. Why wouldn't Chicago have gotten there? Especially with a little extra rest on the legs of their best players before the shortened season started. I think that season would've, and should've been their last go at it. We got hosed thanks to Krause, Scottie's selfishness, and PJ's immaturity.

Glad to hear. Which video? Help direct me to it, bro. Anyway, I haven't been able to get on here much. Not that I really would want to since surveying the boards it looks like the quality of conversation has dropped even further down the abyss. I'm also having a fun, busy summer here in Chicago. Working a lot, multiple jobs, but at least I'm not doing the coaching thing anymore. I'll try to pop in more. Especially when the season starts.
