The intros were classic
I was 13 at the time, so I didn't know who the fukk 70% of these muthafukkas were, other than vaguely by name at best.
They used to be 30 minutes (then later, an hour) so it was like quick history legends.
Then the other network (I think fox sports?) came up with Beyond the Glory in response. That shyt was fire too. Felt edgier. The Vince Carter one was fiya, so was the Roy Jones one. I was HEATED when I saw how he got robbed of his Olympic gold medal.
All of these docs laid the ground work for 30 for 30.

damned mine eyes, DAMNED mine eyes!!
shyt my bad, I thought this is new.
I won't get into who gets taken off.
I can only say that in my view...in the last 20 years, the following people could be included (if you went 1920-2020):
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Lionel Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo
Michael Phelps
Usain Bolt
Barry Bonds
Tom Brady
Albert Pujols
Lebron James
Kobe Bryant
Shaquille O'neal
Tim Duncan
Serena Williams
Tiger Woods
Lewis Hamilton
Great list though i feel they would keep Bonds out and maybe Duncan too. Basically they would have to expand it because to many of the originals would have to come off. Cause you still got cats like Clemens Aaron Rogers Griffey eventually Mike Trout would have arguments too. I also feel that Hakeem and his story should have been on there. To have come over from Africa back then without playing basketball till he was damn near 18 and turning into one of the greatest ever should be more celebrated.
