Has anybody watched any of these? They're pretty good I've seen a few and there's a couple of basketball related films.
One film is called "Without Bias" which is about Len Bias, he was drafted as the second overall pick by the Celtics in 1986 then died two days later from a cocaine overdose.

There is another one called "No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson," this is about the 1993 bowling alley incident and the ramifications of the incident on AI and the town. I personally haven't seen this but I'd like to.

Now for my favourite, "Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks" all about the great rivalry of the Pacers/Knicks and how integral Reggie Miller was to that.

There is a Michael Jordan episode being aired in the US on August 31 which details his first retirement from basketball and his baseball career, not sure when that will be aired here though.
A couple of other good ones that are not basketball related:
"Small Potatoes: Who Killed the USFL?" This is about Donald Trump's role in the fall of the USFL.

"The 16th Man" This is centred around Nelson Mandela calming things in South Africa with the Rugby World Cup in 1995 (narrated by Morgan Freeman)

"The Two Escobars" Pablo and Andrés Escobar, their lives and deaths and the impact of the 1994 FIFA World Cup on the Colombian drug trade.

You can buy most of them on Amazon or I'm sure you can hit up youtube or download them somewhere, they're usually aired on tuesday and thursday nights at about 8 o'clock on ESPN.
