FINALLY
I think the Bill Russell documentary put the battery in the back to create one for Wilt
I love the 60s NBA. Probably my 3rd favorite NBA decade after the 2000s and the 80s

God forgives, you are forgiven.
Showtime has been killing it with the docs for the past few years. They pulled ahead of hbo and espn as far as sports docs.

I hate ESPN, but they are clear cut the #1 in the sports documentary business

Not in the past few years. Four kings, hector camacho doc, ward doc and a couple others>>>> whatever espn has produced in the last couple years. Last great doc they dropped was last dance.

True you got a point, but a few hits in 2 years doesn't overtake anything though. On top of that 30/30 is still banging out great documentaries the past 2 years from the ones on 2000 Ravens, 86 Mets, Lance Armstrong, etc
This doc could be great and still not top it because Sportscentury was so good, especially the one on Wilt. I wish all of them were available.
In for thisAll three parts on demand
Watching part 1 now...
Very interesting. Wilt being put in the slow class because of his stutter, the rule changes, Wilt living in New York and owning a nightclub-commuted to Philly for games, clashes with coaches, the evolution of his game--finger roll and fade away, and the 61-62 season/ 101 point game7 game ECF vs Celtics, racial climate in America and on the teams he played on
Another thing is the AI voice. I've seen some reviews mention it, it's different and a sign of the times, but not overly distracting
