Great documentary not just for basketball nerds

"We Beat the Dream Team" (2025) is pretty entertaining. For such a small moment that most people would not even know, this film does a great job grabbing the viewer and keeping them on the edge of their seat.A group of college players beat the greatest team of all time during a practice scrimmage and no one from either side seems to have forgotten about it. The story should've been long forgotten but the Dream Team players/coaches reluctantly recall how it went and the college kids tell every detail with a smile.This should be just a film for basketball nerds, but the energy and playful retelling of the story would keep anyone interested the whole time. It's a short and sweet documentary that has instant rewatchability for years to come! Highly recommend!

Fair and Interesting

I really enjoyed We Beat the Dream Team. Grant Hill was perfect as the narrator and the various interviews with both members of the Dream Team, coaches, and the Select Team were all well done and interesting.The twist from Coach K really surprised me and I could definitely see the hurt in the reactions from the Select Team.The interviews of the players from the Dream Team about the veracity of the claim were very enlightening as well.It's a shame Coach Daly isn't around to give us his thoughts on the entire claim but perhaps that makes it more fun to speculate.In any case, a beautifully done documentary well worth watching.

Unexpectedly great...

I didn't know this happened until today, grabbed my curiosity when I saw it listed in my feed on Max, couldn't help myself. I had no expectations and I'm glad I didn't, really enjoyed the entire thing from start to finish. The back stories, the side stories, the arguments, and just everything about it was fascinating. Showed the importance of how expectations can get the best of us, even the greats. And how a scrimmage woke up The Dream Team and sent them off to be great in front of the world. Grant Hill did a great job on this...I highly recommend watching if your a sports fan. I'm not even a big basketball fan but this was a nice surprise to my day.
