No, but ESPN presents its just a spin off of to the 30 for 30 shows. So they had an excuse (well justified) to keep making them

The Best That Never Was is one of the best documentaries of any kind. It's number one in this group.

I agree, they're all great but I thought this one was the most interesting. That being said, they all sorta grab me even if it's not a sport or topic I would usually care about, all are well done.

I've watched the Best That Never Was about 10 times. I can't change the channel when I see it is on.

It really was good, his recruitment, time at oklahoma, leaving oklahoma, and I knew nothing about Marcus Dupree playing for the new Orleans team, plus the added dynamic of his brother and advisors.

Once Brothers and The Two Escobars are way ahead of any other for me. The Two Escobars might have been the most griping documentary I've ever seen.

ungaurded was infact not part of the 30 for 30 series, but was in my mind the most powerful piece ESPN films has done in a while.

My favorite 30 for 30 was the U.

The new one where LSU beats Alabama twice in one season is supposed to be awesome.

Marcus Dupree- best of all IMO. Amazing story.

the U- always liked the canes as a kid. Loved the swagger.

Reggie vs the Knicks- the nba was mythcal to me back then. Not the same anymore.

Best that Never Was

I felt real emotion for Marcus Dupree and the situation that he and others led him into.


Run Ricky Run was great too. Really came away from that understanding him more.

So true. As a kid it seemed like some of the NBA players were super heros. I remember watching MJs last couple years with the Bulls in amazement.
