Considered by some to be the best recruiting class ever, the "Fab Five" consisted of Jimmy King, Ray Jackson, Jalen Rose, Chris Webber, and Juwan Howard.
On February 9, 1992, the Wolverines matched up against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
This was perhaps one of the most notable games of the season for the Wolverines, as this was the first time all five players started in the same game.
Not only did the Wolverines win the game, but all five players accounted for every single win. Michigan reached the championship game in 1992 and 1993, both of which have been vacated by the school for violation of NCAA rules.
As high school players, all five were rated in the top 100 of prospects, four of which were in the top ten (Ray Jackson was ranked 84th).
Not to mention, four of the five players went on to play in the NBA (Jackson was the only one never to play in a game). Jimmy King played two seasons, while Webber, Rose, and Howard ended up to have long, lenghty careers.
The ESPN documentary has caught some heat lately, most in part to some comments made by Rose. Rose recently referred to Duke black athletes of the 1990's as "Uncle Toms".
It has drawn much controversy from former players such as Grant Hill, Antonio Lang, and head coach Mike Krzyzewski.
Rose has said that the comments weren't what he actually felt, but he was just in the moment.
Regardless of what was said in the documentary, the Wolverines were a great team, despite never winning a championship ring.
But their team will still go down in the history books as one of the best collegiate basketball teams of all-time.
Here is some of the documentary:
