The historic victory by Kirkland snapped the 31-game winning streak by Taiwanese teams and their streak of five consecutive titles. These streaks by Taiwan still stand, and have not been seriously approached by another country or U.S. state. Kirkland's championship was recounted by ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary series in an episode titled "Little Big Men" (season 1, episode 19), which originally aired in 2010.
