30 for 30 running thread

That's because you're still waiting for "30 for 30: October 1919"

 

I'm throwing Antwaan Randle El into the mix...

Drafted by the Cubs, played point guard at IU and QB/WR in college and pro football.

 

He possibly would make a second team, which would begin with Deion Sanders.

 

The 1983 NC State doc is really good.

 

The scenes at the table with all the players reminiscing are great.

 

Damn, that ending.

 

That's high on the list of 30-30s. Excellent stuff.

 

That was one of the best ones. All those NC State players seem like really likeable guys. It just shows you how fickle sports can be. Sam Perkins' buzzer shot is 1/4 inch more accurate in the ACC tourney and the whole thing never happens, and Valvano is a forgotten footnote.

 

They segmented each game during their run between the interviews at the table so well.

Some of those comebacks were amazing, especially the one against Pepperdine, down 6 under a minute to play, no 3-line and then to see how it all shook out.

How Houston didn't win the title game by 25 is a mystery. Drexler and Olajuwon alone should have made it that.

 

I haven't seen all of them, and I know how easy it can be to call whatever the last great one that you saw as the best of the bunch, but I don't remember enjoying one of those as much as I enjoyed that one...

 

I couldn't top laughing at the motel they stayed at in Corvallis.

 

The next one looks good as well on the infamous Olympic gold medal basketball game that was stolen from the US.
