I hadn't watched that one when it aired, since the airing schedule for the docs they made after the original 30 for 30 run was very random. I'm not sure how many people even saw this one. I've been watching any of the 30 for 30 or other ESPN docs on Netflix that looked interesting to me over the last few days. Both of these were on there (the second one is called Renee), and I loved both of them. Also couldn't get enough of The Best that Never Was, and the Magic Johnson one was fairly interesting (Magic even narrated it himself). Jordan Rides the Bus was also interesting, because like everyone else at the time, I considered his baseball venture a complete failure, but as an adult realizing just how impossible that transition should be, what Jordan did was actually fairly impressive -- especially when you consider that he was improving over the course of a few months, and did decently in the Arizona Fall League after that.

I watched The Dotted Line, and enjoyed it a bit. It wasn't great, but it held my interest, and the sequence where the young agent was watching the draft and just praying that a couple of his clients -- all of whom were marginal draftees -- would get picked. Other than that, rather forgettable, but not bad.

A lot of people know that the USA didn't beat the USSR in the final game of the tournament - but the people who are aware of that rarely understand that the Soviets still won the silver medals. It took a long time (and finally, Wikipedia) to convince someone that this actually happened in a conversation I had during last year's Olympics.
