Don't know who else is watching it, but so far it's pretty good. I think it's going to get more in depth. Chris Webber decided not to take part, but the other four guys are all giving commentary, plus Coach Fisher, and cameo documentaries from sports writers, coaches, and hip hop artists. An interesting start was each of the four guys admitting how much they hated Duke, how Jalen perceived Grant Hill, and how they all thought Laettner was a bitch/pussy.

I went to Michigan in 1993. Chris Webber had just left for the NBA draft. But I got to see Jalen and Juwan for one year, and Ray and Jimmy for another year. Such a long time ago, but brings back some college memories.

Seems like a pretty good documentary so far. I'm sure they'll get into the Ed Martin/money scandals.

I was a white junior high kid from Yuma, Arizona and rocked the black Nike socks every game. When Juwan went pro, I got his first pair of Nikes. Loved that team.

Good thus far. Not in my top-3 as far as the docs go, but in my top-5. I've seen most of 'em.

He's done a good job at SDSU but I don't know if he'll ever get another high-profile job after that disaster and all the trouble they got it.

He's like 70. That's what's going to kill his career aspirations. Besides, San Diego is a hotbed of talent for basketball. He's made SDSU. He's at a premier local. It's the perfect career-ending gig.

Why did Webber decide not to take part? Does it have something to do with the lawsuit?

Watching the not so Fab Five disparage Duke's black players as Uncle Toms made me embarrassed that I ever pulled for them. In retrospective, they were the low class hood rats everyone said they were.

Grant Hill totally destroys Jalen here (http://thequad.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/16/grant-hills-response-to-jalen-rose/) without even lobbing one insult. He shows the difference between an educated man and a thug.

Its great to see that you got the point that as 18 year old kids, they felt differently than they do today. :bang

The Fab Five were a fake-ass UNLV. Everything they claimed they started, UNLV did it first and did it better.

And all Grant Hill has to say to Jalen Rose is "scoreboard." Duke beat that team every time they played them.
