Director: John Dorsey, Andrew Stephan
People tend to think of athletes who failed to live up to their potential as contempible. Chuck Klosterman wrote a fascinating piece about Ralph Sampson, who was a good-not-great NBA player who still managed to disappoint people with how not-great he ended up being. Marinovich's story seems to be indeed that he got lost in other people's narrative of what he was expected to do. I'm not sure about the craft of the documentary, but it was an interesting choice having Marinovich on the beach telling his life story.
It wouldn't be a 30 for 30 without a subconscious jab at the NCAA - amazing how responsible it seems to be for messing up careers.
