Lol @ Michael throwing the ball off Reggie Miller's head.

I'm going to miss watching this every Sunday night.

That exchange between MJ and Bird at the end of episode 9 just had me crying tears of laughter. So savage.

Me seeing Leo make a cameo:

Ugh, it's over

I officially miss the 90's now.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

And it ends with PJ "Present Tense" off "No Code", a personal top 10 favorite album all time. Geeeeez that was just all so great!

Great series. So happy I got to watch it with my kids. They have watched a lot of the Jordan shorts but this just got inside his head at a whole different level. GOAT without question.

Yeah I went nuts when Pearl Jam queued up. No Code is my favorite PJ album!

A huge thank you to ESPN/ABC, MJ, the Chicago Bulls and Director Jason Hehir for an amazing 10 hours of television. And especially huge thanks to all of them for moving it up from the original air time of June to these past 5 weeks. It more than filled the void of a sport less world.

"You *****. **** you."

I remember my excitement, and the massive expectations I had, when rumors of this doc started in 2016 or so. Yet, somehow, the final product exceeded them on every level. Start to finish, this was literally one of the best things I've ever seen. Not only that, but the timing could not have been better. I'm just so incredibly appreciative that it exists, that we got it when we did, and that it became the communal, must-see event we needed.

Long live the GOAT.

That is one of the greatest quotes.

You said it.

This was so beyond Tiger King. THIS will be what I remember most about this quarantine.

Don't forget that he followed it up with "Go work on your golf game."

Even Larry Bird of all people didn't want the smoke as he just walked away. I can only imagine he had wished he could be on the court squaring off but was long gone at that point. It's been hard for me to appreciate current NBA basketball for a long time now (except 2011 Mavs) and this doc just made it even harder. 80's and 90's were the best decades bar none.

Dude just completely misses the point. The entire documentary is practically an exercise in Jordan flat out admitting to and grappling with the very "critique" this guy levels at him. Jordan KNOWS he was an ash*le who had to win at all costs. And the documentary itself is literally him saying, "Yeah? So?" Jordan could not make it any clearer that his reputation and his relationships were the price he had to pay for him - or for anyone - to achieve the unprecedented level of success he achieved. In the examination the doc offers, the morality of it all is basically inconsequential. That's not what the filmmakers are interested in. It's not about whether Jordan was right or wrong or whether his tunnel vision was ultimately something he should come to regret. It's the doc simply stating, matter of factly, "This is the cost." And the whole point is that Jordan UNDERSTOOD that cost, and was compelled to pay it anyway. Which is a far more fascinating character study than someone finally admitting, "You know what? I would give it all up in a heartbeat to have been there more as a father to my kids." That's what I want from my movies, but not necessarily from real life.
