Fab Five documentary brutally honest, stunningly thorough
The Fab Five's Michigan basketball legacy has been tainted in the years since they left school, often told in bits and pieces, odd-fitting sections here and there.
Numerous attempts have been made to tell the complete story. Free Press columnist Mitch Albom wrote a best-selling Fab Five book, Fox Sports made a "Beyond the Glory" review show, and many others tried to gather the entire puzzle of these college basketball revolutionaries.
