    Honestly I don't think I've ever seen a 30 for 30 I didn't like. It seems to be one of the few things ESPN does right besides PTI

    30 for 30 is greatest production ESPN has done in years. I tune in every time a new one is released

    I like Two Escobars, Fab 5, OJ Simpson (Jun. 14, 94), The U, One Night in Vegas, Bad Boys

    I like the Reggie Miller one for sentimental purposes. My dad is a big Reggie Miller fan and he's the one who got me into basketball, I started watching near the end of his career though. I think he got injured in a motorcycle accident and he was out for most of the season, I remember his last game against the Pistons in the playoffs.

    I've been watching a lot of 30 for 30 documentaries on Netflix lately and I was just curious to see which one's you guys like or would recommend. Here's some of my favorites:

    Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks

    Reggie was a bit before my time, but this made me wish I was watching him play. The Spike Lee story surrounding Miller's rivalry with him and NYK is great.

    No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson
    I have always liked Iverson and this covers his issues in high school. Not a lot of actual basketball in this one, but still good.

    Straight Outta L.A.
    I'm a big Raiders fan so I would obviously love this one. It's directed by Ice Cube and talks a lot of NWA. Perfect for someone like me who loves sports and music.

    The Fab Five
    Not a huge fan of Michigan or Webber/Rose, but I've always liked Juwan Howard and this documentary made me a fan of all of them.

    Bad Boys
    This might be my favorite of them all. Also a bit before my time, but the Detroit Bad Boys are fun to watch even if it's just highlights. Isaiah Thomas can go f--- himself tho.
