Fab 5 was made by ESPN Films but not as part of the 30 for 30 series. Also, I own all of the 30 for 30's and the Fab 5 is not on any of the DVD's.

But I do agree with 33 that Fab 5 would have been the best 30 for 30. Amazing documentary.

If you like the story you should read the book "FAB FIVE" by Mitch Albom. 

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Yeah, but he wrote this book before he got famous for all that other crap.  The book is good more for the subject matter than the author, though Albom's poor qualities don't really shine through in the book.

Roll Tide War Eagle was pretty good too.

Definitely needs to be one on the greatest turn around ever.

A K-State/Snyder film made by anyone but PoetWarrior would be garbage.

1998 determined how it could be made, but no one would be brave enough to make it the way it should be made.

That's a harsh perspective.  Do you care to reconsider?

It's possible someone could do it better.

I don't think a lot of people were clamoring for a story on Petrovic and Divac either, but lots enjoyed it

It's a good story. People would enjoy it. It's stupid to argue that you have to be personally invested in the story to enjoy it.
