Sports Documentaries

[TippEverton]

Watching a lot of these lately and the vast majority of time they're brilliant.

Had absolutely no knowledge of basketball until the last dance, I've followed that up with three more about the sport, Best of enemies, about the Lakers Celtics rivalry. Without Bias, the story about Celtics draft Len Bias, and tonight, without doubt the craziest story of them all, Rodman, For better or worse, what a story that was, brilliant interviews, characters and detail in them all.

What's folks favourite ones or recommendations ? So many of them out there.

Almost any episode of 30 for 30 is great. Check out the one on Jimmy Connors or Greg LaMonde. The Duke Lacrosse one is quite astounding.

The 30 for 30's are excellent, theres great detail in them that you can even enjoy if your knowledge of the sport isn't great.

Think I've seen the Connors one, will check out the Lamonde one, watched the Pantani one the other night, another good watch.

You’ve likely seen “Senna” but if not it’s worth a watch—I knew nothing about F1 but learned a lot.

My favorite sports documentary as of late is “Barkley Marathons.”

The Two Escobars is excellent

Senna was brilliant, same guy done the Maradona one.

Neutrals up here in Scotland thought it was great and the youngsters were amazed at how brilliant that team was.

Hoop Dreams is still the stand out for me.

Slaying the Badger

Chasing Tyson from the 30 for 30 films is excellent. It's about Tyson and Evander Holyfield.

The 30 for 30 about the Red Sox series with the Yankees is really good.
Free Solo
A Sunday In Hell
No No: A Dockumentary is really weird. The story of Dock Ellis pitching a no hitter whilst tripping on LSD
When We Were Kings is the greatest sport movie ever made, in my opinion

 

[urquattro]

Mr Calzaghe, truly a great fighter.

 

[Connor]

Pretty much any 30 for 30 is worth a watch if you can get ahold of them
Iverson is what inspired Jordan to finally do The Last Dance so that's worth a look too
I Am Ali
