For fun, I checked the TV listings.
It's only on twice. Now and Friday (during the Tournament). Even TruTV has better things to show.

Just angry and bitter that despite their success the Fab Five will always be remembered before them
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
Fuck Duke
That is all.
De gustibus non est disputandum
Not exactly ESPN after Bracketology.
That Grant and Christian had to produce it themselves as a "what about us?!?" is kinda sad. Even Bobby "fired because I assaulted a student" Knight got in on the action from what I read. But obviously from the Nework, no one cares.
Any bets that it ends with a giant loan scheme and massive debt for one of the producers? Yeah, didn't think so.

Said Michigan was the most overrated team to never win anything.
Knight should
Just lay back and enjoy it.

Does that even make sense? I don't doubt that he said it, but that statement isn't logical. If Mich was overrated then they shouldn't have won, or it should be "the best team to never win anything." I think.
I think it makes sense
I think he means its the most overrated team, b/c they never won anything but are well-known and have notoriety. I can kind of see his point of view, considering the fab5 is more well-known than many teams that won the title around that time, including the '89 team.
"A flute with no holes is not a flute. A donut with no hole is a danish"
The only quote I could find...
from Knight about the Fab Five's on-court legacy* was this:
"What did they win? They didn't win anything," Knight told WBTV's Tom Roussey. "They talked about tearing down their banners, what the hell banners did they have? They didn't even win a Big 10 championship."
*he had plenty to say about their legacy off the court, which, like...yeah. Out of all the people to talk about off-court legacies in college basketball, it's Bobby Knight.
"We bring you to Michigan to take care of Michigan; your job is to protect that block M."

Wonder of shawn merriman feels about a movie being made with his cash? Thats all about grant and christian?
Its called a royale with cheese
Weren't we a 5 seed that
Weren't we a 5 seed that year and made it all the way to the finals?? I'm pretty sure we paid our dues, Dookies!
"They will meet a dastardly fate here for that! There isn't a Michigan Man who wouldn't like go out and scalp those Buckeyes right now."

#6 seed actually. Apparently (using the film's logic) we were even "overrated" just to be seeded that highly . . . despite making the national-title game.
Basically, Jalen made a
Basically, Jalen made a fantastic film about his time in college and yea they kind of ripped Duke and Grant Hill a little bit. Grant Hill either decides to or is approached by someone to make a movie as well. Jalen's Fab Five film was pushed and advertised almost a month before airing all over ESPN media entities and was talked about for weeks after airing. Grant Hill's flick was on TruTv (lol) and ya I haven't heard about it since 5 minutes ago.
The problem I have with this
The problem I have with this is that the Fab Five documentary didn't really rip on Duke to the extent that it was received. Jalen, Juwan, Jimmy and Ray explained how they felt about Duke when they were like 18 years old, not how they feel about them now.
Jimmy said he thought Laettner was "a bitch," but then when they got on the court they respected his game. Furthermore, Jalen just said that he didn't like Duke because they wouldn't recruit black players like him, but they would recruit players like Grant Hill. It wasn't an attack on Hill, it was more of an attack on Duke and the system of recruiting than anything.
I thought it was hilarious
I thought it was hilarious when all the Duke people were getting offended about it. For going to Duke they fail at understanding Verb Tenses
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
Dear Grant Hill
If Laettner was involved...
with this project, I'm sure it returned a negative investment.

The beatings will continue until the uniforms improve!
hmmmmm...
I imagine we could just ask both viewers what they thought of this documentary.

Laettner called Grant Hill asking where is his motherfucking movie check.

Wait - I thought Grant Hill
Wait - I thought Grant Hill was the epitome of class and dignity. Acting the part of the jilted lover is beneath him. Right?
Tru, you can't call out as overrated the 91-92 Duke Team
Documentary.
Very underrated show. Perhaps close to zero.
I only watched a couple
I only watched a couple minutes. But those minutes were terrible and they didn't get it. Jalen said bad things in his movie but he said "I thought", the implication is he learned as he grew up. Nothing he said should have offended. But the Dukies movie signs off with Hurley saying I'm a regular guy, but with two rings. They do a montage to "I love to hate you" and all I could think was how they don't get to this day why they are hated at all. Where as Jalen has grown up to be very aware of his surroundings and perceptions. Win for Fab Five finally
the difference between the
the difference between the Fab Five and Duke is the Fab Five was on ESPN and Duke is on TruTV.

They should be thankful they played us. That's the only reason that team will be remembered.
Special Teams means special times!
wait wait the fab five
wait wait the fab five won...... um, nothing. check your TO's. bwahahaha. over rated then and now. but your little special was on espn. congratulations.
Yet you're here
Rathervthan discussing it with the three other Duke fans who watched it. So even you think we were more relevant. Thanks for proving our point.

I'll burn everything I own if
I'll burn everything I own if you went to or currently attend Duke. Also if you were even alive when that game was played.
Special Teams means special times!
So what is it exactly that
So what is it exactly that Duke fans do during September/October? It must be awful to watch the football team you have down there attempt to win games, I mean my god have you ever be relevant...ever?
Blank.....Blank......You're not looking at the big picture here.
they conveniently ignore

I think it's hard to be
I think it's hard to be overrated when you go to back-to-back Final Fours. And I don't recall anybody mentioning the Fab Five when it comes to the best teams of all itme. They're on the list for most talented and most impactful teams, but not the best. People don't care about Duke. They only care when Duke loses, so nobody but Duke fans are going to watch this.
And Christian Laettner and Grant Hill are bitches.
Don't discount the POWER of TruTV!
Grant Hill & Duke's counter point to the FAB FIVE will not be silenced!!!
is this new?
Is this a new documentary or was it on someplace else first? TruTV seems like a pretty inauspicious place for a debut.
bwahahaha!
You guys are hilarious.
I know it's hard to take a back seat to the Duke Dynasty. But playing the football card?
Remember this?
