What Do Audiences Want Out of Sports Documentaries?
Donnovan speaks to filmmaker Robert Alexander, director of HBO's 'Shaq' documentary, with all episodes now streaming (2:54). They discuss the process of making an in-depth piece on a larger-than-life subject like Shaquille O'Neal, and what the relationship is between subject and filmmaker. Afterwards, Donnovan brings on Sho, and the pair debate other sports docs, and how various biopics outside of sports (such as musicians and actors) have garnered different results. Plus, a chat about the NBA's renaming of their various end-of-year awards, and Donnovan answers an important question: what would the Donnovan Bennett Award be handed out for (36:23)?
