THE BEST THAT NEVER WAS - Trailer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 мар 2011
- Philadelphia, Mississippi, was the site of the most notorious crime of the Civil Rights Era: the murder of Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner, three young men who had come to Philadelphia in 1964 to investigate a church burning. Marcus Dupree was born three weeks before the killings, and eventually would join the first class to go through integrated public schools in the state. By the time Marcus was establishing himself as the best high school running back in the nation - some say ever - Philadelphians white and black took pride in him, and in the fully integrated team that he led. He was the town's first shared joy, and the school's games became the first place where groups of whites and blacks ever came together as one community.
It would be naïve to believe that Marcus singlehandedly gave rise to a "New South." But it would be cynical to disbelieve that he did help bring change to a small town with a horrible past. It is here that the best of sport still resides - in its ability to tear down the isolation and separateness that permeate everyday life in America, and to give people something bigger than themselves to share, a way to transcend the distinctions that otherwise keep them apart. For this experience, Marcus feels blessed beyond any measure of wealth or fame that might have come his way had he fulfilled the promise of the professional career that eluded him.
PREMIERED Tuesday, November 9, 2010 on ESPN.
This movie inspired me to graduate college after watching it in 2014. After 2 years, i was failing my classes, didn’t know where I was in life.. this 30 for 30 hit me so hard mentally and emotionally, that made me realize my life didn’t have to end that way.. it inspired me to drop out and make me realize what i really wanted to do.. now, 4 years later, I’m gonna get my college degree and hopefully become something all because this 30 for 30 help me put my life in perspective
Joe Eoj thanks for sharing, what a credit to you as a man.
Great story Joe, thanks for sharing.
That’s incredible. Were you an athlete? How did this film inspire you to go back to college ?
Thank You For Sharing Your Story!
it took a loser 2 make another loser not be a loser anymore,,,🤔 how ignurt
This is one of the best documentaries because of the kind of person Marcus was and still is. So genuine. Mistakes were made. But I love how he never felt sorry for himself. How he worked so hard to come back and embrace life.
FACTS!!! Me and my Brother watched this Documentary when it 1st came out in 2010. And in my opinion, it's the BEST 30 for 30 EVER!!!
I was in middle school when i watched his episode and i told people Marcus Dupree was the greatest college running back ever
One of the top five 30 or 30, my No. 1
It was my clear #2.
#1 was the 2 Escobars by a mile.
@@learnhongkongvenezuelacuba7810 this has the highest rating of any 30 for 30 out of all 90 on Imdb
The best imo
the best PERIOD…
Mine as well
I still watch this documentary every now and then, beautiful bond he has with his brother.
Yes 🙌🏻
As a Husker fan, we threw undue hate on so many great Sooner players. I regret that. But when Marcus was chewing up the Huskers, we just looked at each other and shrugged. He was above it all, a privilege to see him in action.
This is probably my favorite 30 for 30. Marcus is a great dude who really got the short end of the stick
This title just has always stuck with me. There are so many people out there who were and are great who never got to live out what they were put on this earth to do.
Almost makes me want to shed a tear.
In a parallel Universe the world got to see Marcus Dupree get his HOF Gold Jacket
This one almost makes me cry every time
Oh I hear ya, man. I was like screaming at the TV. How they totally swindled his money and everything. Kudos to him, for not backing down and getting back in shape and going pro. Just a shame man, no one could touch him.
Fr3shTiger it makes me cry, i admit it
Fr3shTiger almost. Shit.
I was 17/18 senior player, in oklahoma when he was a senior. We all knew about him, even though there was no internet, cell phones. Limited cable tv. Thats how big his legend was
As a former 141 lb left halfback who was offered a scholarship to play for little Troy State in 1960, I have watched football all these years -- even coached briefly-- and I am convinced that Marcus Dupree was probably the greatest running back of all time. Yes, there was Bo and Herschel, and Jim Brown, but for sheer ability and strength and size, there was never another as gifted as Marcus Dupree. The pity of it was that he came from northeast Mississippi, a place in time where there was simply no understanding of his talent and therefore no proper handling or nurturing of it. Had he had proper guidance, he would have been more than "the best who never was."
You forgot Earl Campbell who I think was the best ever.
Possibly the most gifted high school and college running back but i dont think his talent would transcend to nhl all star level cause he was too emotionally unstable.
Lol
The best 30 for 30 ever ! Made me cry.. How Sad
I'm just glad he is ok. He is a good guy.
He had the wrong people in his ear. Feel so bad for him. People used him up.
He and Eric Dickerson were my favorite running backs of all time
I an an Alabama fan. Most of all, I love football. I will always blame Switzer for the downfall of Marcus Dupree.
People are different, you can't treat them the same. If the Sooners had a good coach, this story would be legendary. Over time, Switzer destroyed everything he touched......
The most talented RB, I've ever seen play College football. He had it all; size, strength, speed and agility.
Greg Pruitt played college ball at Oklahoma in1971. Just as good as Dupree. Pruitt's era of ball was one of the toughest ever.
The only winner in this story was the slimy black preacher that got a power of attorney on Marcus and spent all of his money. That preacher preyed on a poor uneducated family with a talented kid. All in the name of the lord.
He got sentenced to 3 years in prison a couple years back for scamming a HUD program
F that guy. What a slime ball.
@@bobsolo55 Good because he is a wolf dressed in sheep clothing. Hopefully Marcus got some of his money back.
Dupree and Hershel. Those were the two best college RBs I saw. I know there were other greats but they were the best IMO.
The Oklahoma Sooners needed to come up with a new set of rules for a player as talented as Marcus Dupree. Mentorship and mental toughness were all they needed to provide for him to blossom. It's a shame that he didn't play for Ole Miss or MSU because we may have seen him play 4 years. Thank you Marcus.
The best high school football player in history to date...period. ..
When you are writing, rather than talking, you don't need to write the word "period". You know that, right? :-)
@@dundeedolphin Actually you do when your trying to emphasize a point as opposed to just completing a sentence.
@@MarsVee123 You don't. Period. (Only joking 😂😂😂)
@@dundeedolphin FUNNY...exclamation mark.
This trailer does nothing to capture the extraordinary story of this extraordinary man. If you haven't watched the full documentary, do yourself a favour and look it up.
Excellent documentary, excellent story of how life can disappoint but you got to keep fighting
An amazing guy. A great big brother. That’s the best legacy.
Coming out of high school the guy had absolutely everything - size power vision, breakaway speed and the ability to truck you or juke you....
this always brings tears to my eyes, Especially his mom and brother
My list of most amazing college backs.
1 Hershel ...holds the fastest 100 meter time by any running back with over 2000 career yards. Durable and extremely tough.
2 Marcus Dupree the most beautiful back to watch ever.
3 Adrien Peterson
Violent, rugged and ran mean as hell.
4 Reggie Bush the most electrifying ever
5 Bo Jackson level headed competitor. Did not understand pressure. Unflappable.
6 Dalvin Cook monster talent. Probably made more big plays in big games than anyone else. Winner!!!!
Kovačević Dobrina OU fan here and I hate to say it, but leaving Barry Sanders off that list is criminal.
No Barry Sanders ?😂
No Tony Dorsett??? Dalvin Cook (you playin right?)
Sad that Marcus missed out on a National Championship!
Switzer is full of it !!! He tried to move Dupree to tightend because he did not think he was good enough to be a back at Oklahoma. It was the boosters and fans that pressured Switzer into putting him the game as a back.
How is this from 12 year's ago?
My favorite line is
"There's always an Uncle."
I remember that Nebraska game where he just seemed to glide down the field and leave everyone behind.
He was like a man playing against boys at Oklahoma. I can't imagine what it must have been like trying to stop him in high school.
This movie kind of makes me angry. He had the most God given talent I have ever seen and wasted it. Just think he could’ve been one of the best ever. But I guess God had a different plan for him. Great story though
Just imagine if he was born in our era with great trainers who would know how to navigate his talent. Who knows what he could’ve done
Kind of unfair to say he wasted it. He's a 19 year old making decisions that were too big for him behind a fraudster that conned him out of his earnings. Also the injury is what ended his career. Could have happened at any team right ?
The injuries, not him, are what derailed his God-given greatness, way too soon.
Like Bo Jackson, Gale Sayers, Billy Sims, Marcus Lattimore, Sterling Sharpe, Eddie Lee Ivery, Robert Brooks & so many others.
The damn ACL needs to be reconfigured!
I'm watching this full movie right now on Amazon.
30 For 30 absolutely outdid itself. This one was about life first and football second
The soundtrack gives me chills and the whole story is so motivating
Do you know the songs used in the doc?
The truly saddest thing about this is how badly Marcus was betrayed by his "Pastor" Ken Fairley who also became his agent. It was Fairley who convinced him that Switzer was mistreating him and Fairley who convinced him that if he left & transferred to Mississippi State he could play because Fairley was dealing under the table with MSU alumni.... unbeknownst to MSU. It ruined his collegiate career and his timing in going pro.
He transferred to Southern Mississippi
Dude handling his money was a crook.
Can I use the sound to this video in a podcast and put the link to this video in the bio?
This was one scary man out of the backfield. I thought as a kid that he was the best I ever saw.
The Best always finds a way. That's why they're the BEST. Life decisions included. He may have been the best gifted athletic wise but made some horrible life choices and that's why he never was
It so sad to see what happened to this superstar because of this reverend who exploited him. I hope this reverend rots in hell!
I see it different the Greatest that was!!!! Because he did exist and still does!!!
I know that feeling for a fact
Next to Bo Jackson, the best athlete I've seen in the backfield, college or pro.
As a RB he would have been better
I only recently found out Anthony Mackie narrated this one.
I wish espn would allow us to watch these documentaries for free I mean if we wanted to buy them we wouldn't use youtibe
Hopefully he has speaking engagements talking to young athletes on how to deal with adversity
This 30 for 30 made me feel like there is a piece of his life they forgot to put in the episode. It makes me sad that the best football player of all time turned into the saddest ended career.
I think he averaged something like 7.4 yards every time he touched the ball....his FRESHMAN year....behind a marginal offensive line.
Injuries do in the best of them....such as Gale Sayers.
Should have gone to Southern Miss like he originally planned and he would have made it to the nfl.
So can anyone explain to me why he couldn’t play at southern miss ? Why did he have to sit out? How did Ken fairly screw him over in that aspect ? I don’t understand that whole dynamic
Under NCAA rules if an athlete transfers he/she has to wait at least a year before playing again. Marcus left Oklahoma halfway through the 1983 season before learning he couldn't play again until 1985. So he turned pro with the USFL with Ken as his agent. Some people think Ken engineered the whole thing.
He should have gone to Southern Miss originally and everything would have worked out for him.
Still makes me mad…the preacher is a thief
Nothing, will ever immortalize college or high school football and the scandals more than any other documentary. Now we NIL and instant college transfers. Do you know how many guys would love to play in college for free?
The failure of coach to understand his players. One size does not fit all.
i cried watching this
Great story
i had to stop before watching to the end.
It seems like he has a happy life now. When I see this I see tragedy. Marcus may not see it as tragic, Because he seems happy. But I feel so much potential was wasted. If you had just stayed in Oklahoma, maybe get a college degree. And then play in the pros for many years, Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champion, his life would be so different. He would be a lot wealthier, and he could’ve done a lot. But who knows. The preacher Ken, Unfortunately there are people who are predators and take advantage of young people
Fun fact - the movie is narrated by the new Captain America.
If Hershel Walker and Eric Dickerson had a baby, it'd be Marcus Dupree.
who was the guy at 0:46
SUPERMAN 🦸♂️
Forever known as "The Greatest that Never Was".
People always act like it was all natural God given ability and he put in zero work. Look at that freaking physique 0:39. Dude put in some work on that body.
Barry Switzer ruined this great athlete
COACH SWITZER NEVER RUINED ANY OF THE PLAYERS HE COACHED!..STOP WITH THE SLANDER AND LIBELOUS BULL!!
my faorire
What a good man
Sad
The duece
Jonah Lomu! Search him up.. he rips this guy in half. Real life juggernaut.
He was bonafide.
This is sad
Whos better dupree or dickerson?
The pony express
Dupree
@MDolphins10 but thosethat seen hi orplayed against him know
Done it to himself
No he did not. Where he came from and in a different era? His family didn't even know. Information loops were just not possible. All his family had were guesses, about anyone. He was never shown any other way, especially by his family. They knew what they knew and no one did.
Tis what it tis, tain't what it tain't.
My cousin was Greatest Football player of them all.... Chris Hogue Payton
That's weird because the only place his name is on the entire internet is in your post.
Just sh$t..
This goes to show how people will use you, ken fairly is a con man
