^That looks excellent. Seen the Bird/Magic doc already and it's a good one also. Pretty much anything 30 for 30 makes is great. I think they have them all on Netflix now.

I like this one. It's about a skateboarding playboy legend who ends up hooked on meth and going to prison.

Tom Brady's story (as well as that of the 6 quarterbacks teams took ahead of him in his year) makes for very interesting viewing.

30 for 30 series - my fave is the Escobar story with the Colombian player that got shot.

+1 on The Two Escobars. To me it was clearly the best of all the 30 for 30.

This one is about much more than basketball, it's about friendship, war and life itself; inspirational and moving. Very good for those who want to try to understand the Balkans.

The Two Escobars was brilliant.
But the greatest has got to be the recent Senna movie.

Oh damn! I forgot the Fab Five documentary, easily one of the best. Watched it a few times and never gets old.

The Klitschko doc is excellent, here's a link, if it doesn't work there are tons more online:

Yeah the two Escobars thing was amazing. There's a few about Jose Mourinho on YouTube that are really good too.

About a really insane sport played once a year in Italy, basically a cross between football (soccer), rugby and street fighting!
