There is a generation of men my age who were influenced consciously or subconsciously by the Fab 5 of the Michigan Wolverines, when these five guys came together to play and lead the Wolverines to back to back Final Four Appearances they were the definition of cool, and subconsciously I have to this day still done things these guys did almost 20 years ago, the baggie shorts (something they made extremely popular) the black socks, the shaved heads, these guys took all those things none of which were popular at the time and made them the coolest things on the planet, I actually forgot about all of those things and why I did them until I saw the 30 For 30 Film on the Fab Five. "The Fab Five" cataloged the story of how all these guys came together to form one
of the best teams ever assembled in College Basketball History, that would change the tide for collegiate sports forever, the documentary was honest, almost to a fault, and caused a ton of controversy when Jalen Rose (now an ESPN analyst) called Duke a school for sell-outs and accused Grant Hill of being an Uncle Tom, it was raw, unflinching, and impossible not to watch, just like the Fab Five themselves.
