Christian Laettner was such a legendary college basketball player that people automatically assume his professional career, which actually spanned 13 NBA seasons, was a complete bust.

“I Hate Christian Laettner,” which debuts on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN and is narrated by Rob Lowe, explores the former Dream Team member’s storybook college career, which included four Final Four appearances and winning two National Championships.
