ESPN 30 for 30: Once Brothers

This was really good. Huge fan of the 30 for 30 series.

This one was by far the worst one I've seen too. There also wasn't much of a story here, they weren't really friends, basically Tupac recorded a song for Tyson to walk in to. That was about the extent of their relationship and they tried to make it seem like they were best friends.

This one was very good, but my favorite is still "Run Ricky Run"

Yeah I never knew that his friendship with Drazen ended over that either. Thought this was a really good one, it was very suprising to hear that the Lakers had never seen Vlade play live before they drafted him. It's amazing how much overseas scouting has changed since then. Today, both Vlade and Drazen would probably be top five draft picks.

One Night in Vegas was one of the worse imo.

My Favorites were probably:

The Two Escobars - I kept this one on my TiVo
The Band that Wouldn't Die - Because I'm also a band nerd that became attached to the team through band
Run Ricky Run - I think I really enjoyed seeing his side of that story
Into the Wind - Unlike all the others, I had never heard this story before, and thought the story was great
Once Brothers - Did a great job of tying the sports aspect with all the non-sports stuff, IMO

I really like the one with Ali and Frazier. You could see Ali was slipping badly and Parkinson's was close. It was really sad.
