What are your top episodes?

There's a little mini-marathon on ESPN2 right now..i'm watching the Hank Gathers one, I really like this one.

My top 3:

1) June 17, 1994--love how there is no commentary, just news tapes and reactions
2) The best that never was--love the marcus dupree tapes from when he was healthy
3) The U--classic

The Best that Never Was and The U were both great. I liked the USFL one too

Can't wait for the Bartman one that is coming out later this year

The Len Bias thing is so nuts...but here's my question (my roommates and I can't figure it out)...had he done coke before? We heard that was his first time, but then the one dude he was doing it with said he had done it with Bias before. I'm assuming it wasn't his first time..

June 17th is incredible. Watched it like 5 times and can't get enough of how crazy that day really was. The Reggie Miller one was good and the Ricky Williams one was very eyeopening. The U and the Wayne Gretzky one were good too. Also a Silly Little Game about the inventors of fantasy baseball was pretty cool

Pony Excess was my favorite. All the jackasses on blogs saying that Ohio State needs the death penalty need to watch Pony Excess to find out what REAL NCAA violations are!! Just an FYI, I don't think Fab Five was an actual 30 for 30 special. Just an ESPN show.

I've only seen 2 (possibly 3 because I don't know if the Fab 5 counts)

In no order

Pony Excess
The U
Fab 5

I'd like to see them all because I've really enjoyed the ones that I've seen.

I really liked the best that never was but it got me thinking, who was the best of the best that never was. Clarett or Dupree?
