    Awesome.
    Will be watching this one. I still haven't seen a team like the Fab 5. Were they the best team ever? No, but if they had won both of those title games they would have been in the running for sure. They were definitely unique...5 freshman dominating. Crazy. I think I can still name them all: Jalen Rose, Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King, Ray Jackson. I wonder what happened with King/Jackson?

      I lived up there when all that was happening. I was 10 years old and remember it very well. I've read a couple books about the team and I'm curious to see what new info, if any, ESPN brings to the table with this one. Must watch for me.

        This is the team that made me stop following Michigan basketball. Knew that they were dirty when they stepped on campus.

        Must watch for me.

          I can't wait to see this. I loved the Fab Five when I was a kid. I had a pair of baggy maize shorts and the black socks back then to.Although it stinks what they did I never stopped Michigan basketball. I have stuck with the program ever since the Fab Five.

            The 1993 Tar Heels come to my mind, when I think of the Fab Five. Good Times.

                The cheating didn't bother me a bit. Its the getting caught that sucked.

                  Uh..... How about the 2001 Duke Blue Devils?

                  Williams, Dunleavy Jr, Battier, Boozer, James and Duhon. They make your precious Fab Five look like puppies.

                    I can't wait for this.

                    Lots of childhood memories here. I was 10 growing up in Michigan, how could I not love them?

                    They didn't revolutionize anything (or cheat, for that matter). They won't be making a documentary about the 2001 Duke team. He wasn't saying they were the best team ever. He was saying that the amount of hype and the way they ushered in a new style hasn't been seen since.

                      I loved the Fab Five. They brought in their own style with the baggy shorts, black shoes and socks. I enjoyed that team a lot. Good times.

                      4 of the 5 were top ten recruits and I think Jackson was top 100.

                      This is a must watch for me. Besides watching games the only ESPN programming I watch is 30 for 30.

                        This isn't a 30 for 30 btw, that series has ended. This is just some ESPN original programming. Kinda a sign of how badly ESPN has fallen and how rare their good original programming has become.

                        Really looking forward to this, I still have the '93 title game on VHS somewhere.

                          Title Updated... your point about ESPN programming is spot on. I just assumed it was 30 For 30.

                              LOL @ Jalen Rose. He is on First Take right now saying, "They were a better team than Carolina." If you were so much better, you should have won the game.
