Too Fun Media / The GOAT Files · 4 episodes
Sports legends and the stories behind the greatest of all time.
The GOAT Files asks one simple question: what does it take to become the greatest of all time? Each illustrated documentary follows a single sports legend from childhood to the top of the world, through the setbacks, rivals and big moments that made them.
The first files cover Muhammad Ali, the boxer who called himself “The Greatest” and proved it; Michael Jordan, who was cut from his high school varsity team and went on to win six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls; Pelé, who rose from the streets of Brazil to win three World Cups; and Lionel Messi, who overcame a growth hormone deficiency, came through Barcelona's La Masia academy and finally lifted the World Cup with Argentina in Qatar in 2022.
The stories are made for young fans and grown-ups alike: real history, big moments and the hard work behind the highlights. New files are added on the YouTube channel.
