The 2 30for30 documentaries, 'without bias' about the drafting and then sudden death of Len Bias and the other one is 'guru of go' about the death of Hank Geathers in the NCAA tournament when his team looked destined to win and break scoring records at the same time.
I enjoyed that Kobe interview, thanks for sharing!
My suggestion for anyone who hasn't seen it, check out 2005's "Through the fire", which provides a pretty interesting glimpse into Sebastian Telfair as he preps himself for the NBA draft and also the high expectations placed on young prospects.
Some highlights of the basketball ones (not mentioned yet)

A film that explores the rivalry between the Indiana Pacers and New York as seen through the eyes and actions of Reggie Miller star player of the Indiana Pacers. No Crossover: Allen Iverson Trial

More money, more problems. Broke digs into the psychology of men whose competitive nature carried them to victory on the field yet seemed to ruin them off the field

The comeback by te Red Sox Vs Yankees Silly Little Game
Charts the origins of fantasy sports games from a small lunchtime group known as the rotisserie league to the multi-million dollar industry it is today
"Once Brothers" is a great watch, and a little bit sad Focus is on Vlade and Drazen, and how their relationship deteriorated. Plenty of great 80's NBA footage in there.
"The other Dream Team" is another great doco on the 1992 Lithuanian basketball team. An amazing story on how they made it, well worth a look.
