Without Bias

I'm a big fan of ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary series. I just recently watched another one called "Without Bias." It is the story of Len Bias, a University of Maryland basketball player who was drafted second overall by the Boston Celtics in the 1986 NBA Draft, but died of a cocaine overdose only two days after. The story is told in a such a way that I really felt connected with what happened. There are interviews from teammates who were there the night of the incident, audio of the 911 call and other features that make you seem like you are reliving the story. Basically they do a great job storytelling in the documentary and I would recommend the 30 for 30 series for any sports or documentary fan because they are extremely well done.
