These are classics and just wanted to get y'alls take on it. I'll start and go with Elway to Marino. Great draft and loved all the info that came out from the Front office guys. Thoughts?

The Best That Never Was is one of the better documentaries that I've seen in any genre.

Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. the New York Knicks

One of my favorite docs ever in any genre. As a 90s kid & NBA fan, this is a must watch any time it is on.

Pony Excess is the one I looked forward to the most and it did not disappoint.

Man, some of the good ones are really good, so good that they go beyond being a good "sports film."

My personal favorite is "Pony Excess." The story on its own is pretty incredible, but the way the film is put together is great.

Big fan of The U parts 1 & 2.

Other than that, Pony Excess and Bad Boys.

So many to choose from.

There are so many great ones. Personal favorite is probably the one about Maurice Clarett.

I liked the university of Miami films. Also, UnGuarded, brought me to tears.

Never liked The Boz, but that 30/30 was entertaining. (or was that on a different channel?)

Slaying the Badger. Probably the best cycling related documentary featuring some true legends of the sport from the 80's

Shaq & Dale
Favorite Non-LSU one was probably the Christian Laettner one, The U, and the Marcus Spears one.

They had an interesting one for the UEFA Championship in 2012. It wasn't a 30 for 30, but it was a story about a team going up against Germany in the finals. And before the match, some Nazi officers came into the locker room and said if they beat Germany, they'd all be thrown into concentration camps.

It's be been while since I watched it so my memory of its pretty shaky

Eta; found this after a good bit of digging

They were killed. Not hauled off to concentration camps.
I'd probably choose a bullet in my head over a concentration camp anyways.
