ESPN is anxiously anticipating their 30th year anniversary and are doing so with a series entitled “30 for 30.” The documentary style series pairs the most magnetic sports figures with film directors that share common grounds with them. In Ice Cube’s case, he will chart the history of his beloved Oakland Raiders.

30 other filmmakers including Boyz N Da Hood’s John Singleton (Marion Jones) and Hoop Dreams‘ Steve James (Allen Iverson) will take the Director’s chair for ESPN in what promises to be a fulfilling tribute.

“30 for 30″ is slated to begin on October 6th.
