    ESPN 30 for 30......Looking for a good recommendation

    Great sports documentaries by these guys. I found the whole archives in Disney + ( who knew ).
    I was going to watch The 2 Escobars again but thought i would put it out there if anyone has a favorite or 2 in the series. One preview looked good " Miracles on the Plains " about 2013 Auburn Tigers.....

    Appreciate any input

    Most of them are worth watching.

    The one about NC St hoops winning the National Championship with Jim Valvano in the 80s was really good.

    The other ones that stick out in my mind are the ones about Michigan basketball's "Fab Five" and the NBA's "Bad Boys" Detroit Pistons.

    Most of them are worth checking out if you like the sport for each particular episode. 42-1 and Chasing Tyson are both good boxing ones. The older ones seem to be better than newer ones: The Legend of Jimmy the Greek, Hillsborough, and The Best That Never Was are all really good.

    Without Bias was really good. The Joe Delaney in the 30-30 shorts was great. Like Jake said, they are all pretty much worth watching.

    They are all good. I personally like the ones about the U and "Brian and the Boz"

    But like I said I think there has been maybe one I didn't particularly like so I recommend them all.

    42-1 that was really good. The one where soviets visit lake placid after is good can’t remember the name. The ones of sports I follow, I never feel like it’s anything new FWIW. The Mets one was long but the best. Once upon a time in queens

    The Two Escobars my favorite one by a landslide. Absolute masterpiece IMO.

    Some other good ones are: The Marcus Dupree one called "The Best That Never Was".

    also the Divac and Petrovic "Once Brothers" is excellent.

    it was very good but i disagree.

    THE TWO ESCOBARS imo is the best one by a mile.

    it is a masterpiece imo

    the emotional rollercoaster and the two intertwined stories.

    it is just incredible

    Got a chance to watch 2 today. Both were amazing

    The Best that never was : I remember Dupree from his big debut at Oklahoma but unaware of whatever happened to him.

    The 2 Escobars : I have seen it before , though it's been a while. Great watch
