"The Last Dance," the popular ESPN documentary series about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dynasty, ended over the weekend and people who were glued to every episode are starved for something new. The series would have been well-watched before the pandemic, but with stay-at-home orders in place across most of the country, it became a focal point for people desperate for sports, entertainment, and something to talk about other than the novel coronavirus.

So now what?

While ESPN’s 30-for-30 series is well-known and critically acclaimed, there are other sports documentaries worthy of watching. While some cover the greatest athletes of all time (like Jordan), others explore more obscure sports, events, and athletes. They can also be valuable teaching tools—exploring issues of culture in different countries, geography, civil rights, war, the environment, the reach of poverty, the impact of systemic racism and sexism, and the force for change that can come from individual human beings or teams bound with purpose. They are often the stories of struggles, perseverance, awe-inspiring achievement, and heartbreaking failures. Many have even been nominated for or won Oscars.

Here are some to stream:

Hoop Dreams (available on Hulu, HBO Now, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Google Play, iTunes)

This 1994 doc that follows the lives of two African-American Chicago high school students with dreams of playing in the NBA is arguably the best sports documentary ever made. It won the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury and Audience awards, and its exclusion from Oscar best feature documentary nominations (it was given a film editing nod) not only caused huge controversy, but it was also the impetus to change the nominating process in the documentary category.

Here are some that did earn Academy Award nominations and wins for best feature documentary, in reverse chronological order.
