Fab 5 Documentary

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.

"Those were the stories," Rose said in an interview with the Free Press last week after a rough cut of ESPN's "The Fab Five" was made available to the Free Press. "This is the Bible."
