DVRed this, watching it now.

One question: Did the creepy guy drive down to Durham just to talk about how much he hated Duke? Odd scene.

I liked the story. Not sure if it was 30 for 30 worthy but it was entertaining.

This one felt very contrived to me.

This. The guy that made it was just awful to watch and I actually found myself rooting against him in his "quest". A quest that nobody cares about btw.

like i said, it's funny because only kansas fans care about it and they all knew all about it because it's such a recent story. kinda weird to do a 30 for 30 on that.

I legitimately had no idea Kansas had such a tie to Naismith so I guess I learned something.

The more I think about it, it might be the worst documentary I've ever watched period. Wish I wouldn't have wasted that hour of my life. Almost every 30 for 30 was well worth watching so I figured I owed it to myself to watch this one to the end, but it was just terrible. There was no story to be told what so ever.

It seemed like the whole thing was a sham

He talked to Larry brown and Roy Williams but couldn't get bill self ? He had to get mark Allen to fly to Austin to talk to booth like booth didn't know about the rules auction and had to be convinced? David booth Is in the information business but he doesn't know about the importance of the rules being auctioned off?

Plus the guy was a total douche

Yeah, I think they could have found a better route to take if they wanted to feature obsessive fans which was ultimately what this was about.
