ESPN 30 for 30 - The Fab Five Documentary Part 1/8

[CP2VIPERS]

yeah dick vitale probably sucks coach k's dick before every game he's obssesed with duke

[ZipGB8]

Pause at 5:33. Donald Williams (above Jimmy King), went to UNC, ended up being the 93 FInal Four MOP.

[ZipGB8]

The 7th one is Antonio Lang. Or Bobby Hurley.

[PetertheAverage]

Dick Vitale is number 7.

[XChronicHash]

this is more interesting than Lebron's documentary, movie and Hairline combined

[LMCMInterloper]

Thank you for this!

[goodguyusa]

Jalen (Detroit) and Juwan (South Side, Chicago) we're straight hood. The others were to a different extent. I am from the same neighborhood as Jalen and when he talks about his neighborhood growing up, I can verify that it is the absolute truth. He probably had the most famous dad of anyone in my part of the city and after it all, he still had nothing. I am so glad he became the success he did and Michigan played a big part of it. Go Blue!! and Go DETROIT! (ALWAYS!!!)

[mrjayz126]

I cant believe that ray jackson didnt play in the NBA.

[bossmax80]

11:56

awesome fucking sweater

[zupmarc36]

lol at 6:41 you can see Greg Ostertag at rank 44

[drumass666]

@zupmarc36 Three conference titles in four years and he would go on to get blasted by Karl Malone in the national news media. If you ask me, he ended up with the better deal in the long run compared to the Fab 5.

[Samax13]

this was a great documentary. very well researched.

[LostThoughtsOne]

Can someone please tell me the opening song thanks

[wildcatgreg]

This might be the best sports documentary I've ever seen. As a Kentucky fan who used to live in Detroit every summer growing up, it holds personal fascination for me. Always hated the Fab Five because I thought UK wins Final Four if Mashburn doesn't foul out, but now I respect them. Will never believe the Fab Five could legitimately lose to that atrocious UNC squad. So much more to the story. A truly superb documentary on a complex team.

[3419soxnation]

@4thwonder

yeah, doing absolutely nothing for them

[TBac813]

Coach K is the same way

[3419soxnation]

Am I the only one who finds it hysterical that not one member of the fab five has ever won a title of any kind in college or the pros?

[4thwonder]

@3419soxnation juwan still has a chance with the miami heat

[DoesNotExist305]

Can you upload "The U" too please? That would be greatly appreciated.

[donvito2k16]

i love michigan

[dtownlove10]

I don't care that the banners are down. The FAB FIVE will never be forgotten.

[wilbert916]

yall need to be hatin on penn state. NOT the FAB 5 !

[smrand2]

after watching this documentary i realized that chris webber is a bitch ass nigga

[Tyrunner0097]

Based on this, I almost think that Juan Howard should be given just as much credit for bringing the Fab Five together as Steve Fischer, if not more credit than Fischer...

[Tyrunner0097]

@Tyrunner0097 Check that, it should be spelled FISHER

[andreadimayuga]

"Before the Fab Five... dudes was wearin panties." LOL so true

[aznjumbo]

lol the coach just sounds so chill about everything like, o ya his grandma died so we came

[TheAntonioOcana]

Thumbs up if you think Detroit is the greatest city in the world. I've been every where man, everywhere, and there ain't nothin' like MoTown man, nothing.

[aznjumbo]

@TheAntonioOcana ... what a desperate way to get thumbs ups

[TheAntonioOcana]

@aznjumbo Desperate because I love Detroit? I could really careless about thumbs up brother, doesn't change my life. We aren't all as creative as the riveting aznjumbo series there pal... now that deserves some thumbs up. You can keep that thumb stuck up your anus man, its cool with me.

[aznjumbo]

@TheAntonioOcana yo ill stick to sticking my thumb up wherever i want to. Dude i bet you just wish you were half the man that your mom was.

[seanceltics15]

@aznjumbo haters gonna hate

[seanceltics15]

@TheAntonioOcana agreed

[friendlyboi069]

thanks for the upload!!!

[inveretus]

Absolute cracker of a documentary.

[drumass666]

@inveretus Absolutely. It's not my favorite of the series but hands-down this one had the best title sequence of them all.

[nomorecoolones]

this is by far the greatest sports documentary of all time......

[lemond234]

Country Day won the Class B State championship with Webber not Class A

[DMAC2812]

[luddenbaseball28]

@eman6942 cause the video is about them, and they didnt like them?

[daveymeats]

@luddenbaseball28 christian laetner grant hill and coach k beat the fab five sooo yea

[luddenbaseball28]

@daveymeats ok, they were supposed to win, they were the number 1 team in the country for years and who was michigan? if the fab five came together for another year or even a second i guarantee that they woulda beaten duke twice

[daveymeats]

@luddenbaseball28 cough, excuse, cough

[luddenbaseball28]

@daveymeats cough, sweet comeback, cough

[luddenbaseball28]

@daveymeats and cough, its true, cough

[daveymeats]

@luddenbaseball28 what its true that the fab 5 never beat duke? yea thats right 

[luddenbaseball28]

@daveymeats ok cause of a bullshit play that shouldnt have ever happened. if they stayed for the next two years, they woulda busted duke

[neverscared11]

@luddenbaseball28 and now bobby hurley and the other Hill who started

[drumass666]

@neverscared11 ...Thomas Hill. Who's the sixth one, now? Cherokee Parks?

[neverscared11]

@drumass666 LOL  yeah right !!!! gotta check to see how many dislikes now. more Dukies,,,,,,Duke ....Boooooooo

[neverscared11]

@drumass666 still 6 dislikes.....must be Cherokee Parks ! funny

[AZ520ful]

@neverscared11 havent heard that name in a minute lmao

[chltwn32]

Hey Jimmy, despite what Michigan has done in their attempt to "erase" u guys they can't. Reason why is the same reason why Biggie, Jimmy Hendrix, and Michael Jackson will never die. Because we saw it and with things like YouTube all we have to do is press play and it immediately brings you to life which means you'll live forever!!

[lilhuiedewe]

@chltwn32 until a solar flare whipes out all electricity on earth

[UnionKid15]

Thanks a lot for posting this video series.

[damagedone56]

how come this is not on the dvd's itself i bought it the other day and was disappointed that it was not on there o well thanks YouTube

[duhawk69]

The flyin illini actually were the first team to wear their shorts baggy. 1989

[yankees032778]

I think the difference between private and public school basketball exists in every city, not just Detroit

[whayes8084]

For those they don't know Plano, TX where Jimmy King comes is far from a "hood." Who is he kidding? It's upper middle class as you can get. Look it up.

[AlterBreaker]

@whayes8084 yea u aint lying abt tht

[nikopstylee]

sickest intro

[Jay6Cool]

Wish they would've won

[espben360]

why did non of them win a championship?

[Ogothefox]

@espben360 Because college and pro are not the same. Webber had the best NBA career out of all of them (IMO) but the Kings were overrated during his time. Jalen had the luck and honor of playing with Reggie Miller but lets not forget that this was during the Air Jordan Era. Plus, the NBA had too many greats in the 90s.

[nomorecoolones]

@Ogothefox

the King overrated during his time???? What are you talking about??? The ripprd them off from winning a chamionship (2002) and played the most spectacular basketball since the bulls.......

[NuckinFuttsvidz]

Upload The U



[damagedone56]

this is a classic

[MgoMuse]

Go Blue espn did a great job.

[DetroitSuperman23]

i feel bad for chris webber that unc game wasnt his falt at all

[shinobimastah08]

God he looks like Cam Newton.

[kingpp74]

12:40 Fye SnapBack

[officialflightmusic]

i would miss the shit out of the freethrow fuck gettin shot for a game

[24Reference]

Webber, Rose, King and Howard were all McDonald's All-American's Jackson was not. When the graphic shows on the screen Jackson is listed near Greg Ostertag, Though Ostertag played in the same number of NBA Finals as the Fab Five combined (Fab Five: Rose 2000 with the Indiana Pacers and Howard 2011 with the Miami Heat. Ostertag 1997 and 98 with the Utah Jazz.) Jackson was not even drafted,

[24Reference]

Interesting that Alan Henderson was considered a better prospect than Jalen Rose.

[24Reference]

The Fab Five don't wear short shorts.

[ADAJ3]

thanks for uploading!

[GentlemenJeff]

I went to best Buy to get the exclusive 30 for 30 Blue ray, and The Fab Five wasn't even on it. -_- I wasted gas

[kobeistheman100]

One of the best 30 for 30 if not the best Also the pony express is a good one

[ArsenalFan20007]

@kobeistheman100

Once Brothers is the best in my opinion. It has so much emotion.

[MrKangaroo42]

I used to live right by finney high school and my high school used to play them in basketball

[MrKangaroo42]

I used to live right by Finney, and my high school would play against them.

[yankees032778]

THE BEST sports documentary I have ever seen. I'm not a Michigan fan, or even a college basketball fan, but this was great

[whayes8084]

@yankees032778 Better than Hoop Dreams? Don't kid yourself...

[yankees032778]

@whayes8084 Hoop Dreams was too long for me. But it was still amazing

[BuschGardens2010]

what is the song played in the beginning from 0:33 to 1:24

[rowdyloudy75]

"Before the Fab Five dudes was wearin' panties out there"... Oh Ice Cube lol

[Supastrbballah23]

is it just me or does jimmy king and kyrie irving sorta look alike?

[ahrenjones]

you might wanna miss dis freethrow or we gone see you in the hood.....lol

[Canadianflipboy1]

@ahrenjones

So do people say that to shaq? cause he misses almost every free throw xD

[ahrenjones]

@ahrenjones ayy das me

[Khachik2003]

lol juwan howard looks like will smith

[TheGatorfan93]

This 30 for 30 series was pathetic,fab 5?How about phi slamma jama?hoya paranoia?They did more culturally then these punks.Espn is so fuckin weak,so fuckin cheap.Look what they have on as there as programming.They show sportscenters on a loop,nothing but talking head bores.They have access to the biggest boxing library,yet all they show (if its just not ali and tyson)are camacho and whitaker marathons.2 of the most boring fighters ever.Mostly its poker and other filler.Boycott espn

[lambomb222]

@TheGatorfan93 AYE SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH... IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DONT WATCH THE VIDEO YOU DUMB SHIT... ESPN DID A VERY GOOD JOB ON THIS STORY

[TheGatorfan93]

@lambomb222 ESPN doesn't do a good job on anything,other than show horrible programming shit for brains.

[genuineracing]

@TheGatorfan93 Then why are they the 'Worldwide Leader of Sports'?

[TheGatorfan93]

@genuineracing Cause they're the only game in town.How sad is that huh?

[pheagles22]

@TheGatorfan93 are you serious? You honestly have a problem with them doing one on the fab 5?

[TheGatorfan93]

@pheagles22 Well yes im serious,i could care less that they do a 30 for 30 series.Why can't they show better programming?The fab five wasn't NEARLY as interesting or controversial as ewing's mid 80's georgetown teams.Nothing on them,because espn knows this is ''safe'' controversy.Yet we see this and the miami football team.Who espn tries to sell ''brought swagger and intimidation to college sports''.Its a joke

[pheagles22]

@TheGatorfan93 How can you even say that? This is a safe controversy? There was uproar for weeks about the comments about Duke and it sparked debate everywhere. Your other point is just biased or something because the Fab 5 DID influence the sport HEAVILY and you can deny it all you want but its a fact. The Miami thing, too. They were a unique powerhouse that came and the amount of NFL players they produced is unreal. They're a very worthy pick too

[TheGatorfan93]

@pheagles22 And look how controversial those ewing led georgetown teams were in the mid 80's.Everywhere they went,fans holding signs ''ewing's an ape'',throwing bananna peels at him and his teammates.There STILL has never been a more polarizing sports team then those 84 and 85 hoya squads.That's what i mean by safe.

[pheagles22]

@TheGatorfan93 so because Patrick Ewing encountered racism ESPN should not make a 30/30 about the Fab Five? I think you should be aware of the fact that they're not related incidents and you could make the complaint that they didn't do it for any of their specials rather than be upset that they "chose" fab 5 over ewing's hoyas. Fab 5 were anything but pathetic, they were a monumental team in not only NCAA history but basketball history, period. You write em off like they were nothing.

[TheGatorfan93]

@pheagles22 Ewing?The entire team encountered it,and thompson maybe more than all of them!And im not writing them off,im saying ewings hoyas were more culturally relevent,which they clearly were.But the reason i first commented here,was to bring up that espn's programming is awful.More people would tune in to a great old fight or football game,then watch 30/30.Its just another cheap way to overload there stations with forgettable filler,while duping the masses.

[WatchVenusSpa]

@pheagles22 Yeah they influenced the sport alright, to a point where basketball ceased to BE a sport. Only Webber gave a crap about the GAME, the other guys on that team were only there because they didn't have the talent to be rappers.

[pheagles22]

@WatchVenusSpa That's one of the most ignorant things I've ever read. I guess the whole documentary went right over your head. Keep in mind they're 18 year old kids straight from the inner city of Detroit. When you were 18 you weren't a little bit more obnoxious than you are today? Seriously, that comment is flat out racist.

[WatchVenusSpa]

@pheagles22 Really? Jimmy Johnson's Hurricanes of the 80's came from a FAR worse ghetto in Miami for the most part and they still respected their teammates and their coaches and didn't cross the line with the NCAA. Then again they won National Championships and these chumps won nothing. If all you are known for is your clothes and for trash talking, your legacy is that of failure.

[pheagles22]

@WatchVenusSpa first of all who are you to judge the severity of a ghetto? Second of all how does that change the ignorance of your statement? They didn't give a crap about the game they just wanted to be rappers? There's no defending that. Howard is STILL in the NBA, Webber had a long career, Jalen had a long career, you don't get to be that good without caring about the game and striving to get better. Its 2011 save that bigoted opinion for yourself.

[WatchVenusSpa]

@pheagles22 How was that in the least bit racist? These guys NEVER dedicated themselves to basketball at ANY point during their Michigan years. Jalen Rose never dedicated himself to the game AT ALL. (Just style over substance which is why every team that got him couldn't wait to get rid of him.) Howard was mediocre at best his entire career and continues to gravytrain because of how close he is with Riley. Webber remembered how to be a basketball player YEARS later in Sac-town.

[pheagles22]

@WatchVenusSpa like...you're just a flat out idiot. You don't get a scholarship period without being dedicated to playing the game let alone have a NBA career....let alone have one for nearly 2 decades. And it definitely is racist to say they "just wanted to be rappers" and the fact that you don't realize that is pathetic.

[tdot4life15]

Webber is dirrttyyyyyyyy

[Amino2]

Thanks for the upload!!!

[rodbros123]

does jalen rose have any relation to derrick rose? cause they kind of look the same

[dayjob77]

@rodbros123 i dont think so

[buster60341]

Chris Webber pick the Michigan over Duke and I was happy he dont pick Duke.

[LIwrestler125lbs]

11:00 LAMO!!!!! Funny comment by Jalen!

[AZ520ful]

11:40 my man Lute Olson was on the move.

Too bad

[teamjack93]

Great documentary. Thx for posting this SportsFanatic. Won't compare UNLV to UM cause loved them both and I root for anyone against Duke.

GO BLUE!

[topdogg757]

I liked both UNLV's team that DESTROYED Duke in the nat'l title game and Michigan's Fab Five because both were must-see. But if they were to have played one another, I'd say that UNLV woulda demolished Michigan because Coach Tark would've pressed the ball the entire game and Coach Fisher wouldn't have an answer for it.

[sightseaing]

yo

[GoBlueCutGreen]

RUNNING REBELS cut it out dude u cant compare apples to oranges BRAHH......

[WatchVenusSpa]

Jerry Tarkanian's Running Rebels of the late 80's would have destroyed these chumps.

[T74G]

@WatchVenusSpa

would have been sick to see!! LJ versus Webber....Anderson Hunt vs Jimmy King, Ackles or Scurry vs Howard....the mismatch would have been Anthony trying to defend Rose...Rose would have killed him!! other than that...i say its a pretty interesting match up!

[unlvrebelx]

@T74G ....you're kidding, Anthony wouldn't have been killed by Rose....no mismatch at all, especially at that time, and in college.

[T74G]

@unlvrebelx

6'8" highly skilled point guard versus 6'3" defensive specialist...who for some reason in the pros got scored on a lot....hmmmmm

there's room for argument...

[dmsghostt]

thanks for posting this, i love it
