I just watched this. I grew up outside detroit and loved the pistons of the 80's and early 90's. So many great games with the celtics, bulls and lakers.
I thought this was great documentary!

When I watched the SMU one where they went undefeated and claimed they were the best team (1982) I went and found some power ratings from those years. http://sonnymoorepowerratings.com/cf82.htm

As a Piston fan, right back at ya. I hated the Bills and Lakers, but I had an extra special hate for the Celtics. I can't even tell you how crushing it was when Bird stole that pass.
That's funny because I felt the same about the celtics. I still remember it like yesterday when bird stole the in bound pass and won the game. Classic game!
I have hated the celtics ever since
Obv you mean the Bulls, and at least this is something we can agree on
Whenever I see or even think about that play, I get goose bumps. Bird gets all the credit for that play and deservedly so, but how smart was DJ to see the steal and immediately cut to the basket, but he never gets mentioned. BTW, the one single play that crushed me and will always haunt me was in '87, game four in the Garden, Magic with a baby hook shot from the middle of the lane. I have replayed that shot a million times in my head, watching him cock his arm back and just get it over the fingertips of Kevin McHale, to say I was devastated would be putting it mildly. Great times and (mostly) great memories of the NBA back then.
I think that was my favorite 30/30. The SMU piece. Great look inside college football.
Agree, Once Brothers is right up there for me as well. Another powerful documentary. I also really enjoyed the one about Paul Westhead and the Loyola Marymount basketball team.
Also, although not a 30 for 30, if u haven't seen the ESPN short special on Louis Mulkey and the Summerville basketball team that won the South Carolina state basketball championship, I highly recommend it. You won't regret the 15 minutes
