When the doc started I loved Jordan's candor and hearing him swear. By the end of it I was really sick of his arrogance and denigration of other players. Particularly him lambasting Pippen for quitting on the team a couple of times, then quitting himself, then coming back expecting to be welcomed in as the man after leaving his team hanging for 1-2/3rd seasons.

It was really impressive filming and I can't get enough of the behind-the-scenes action and player interviews, but definitely lowered my opinion of the GOAT overall as a person.

Any truth to the rumor that ESPN has started pre-production on the slated 2044 release of the LeBron James documentary tentatively called "Hey Everyone, Look How Great I Am"?

I walked away liking MJ more. He was genuine and real. I respect that way more than all the fake personalities you see all over the place.

he was my basketball idol. Seeing him now, I appreciate his greatness more. his drive to be the greatest. It wasn't given to him, and he outworked everyone.

The constant mentions of Lebron (whether of support or ridicule) are getting super old on this thread.

Who cares? This is about MJ.

Get a dog

We have four!

Your clones are very impressive. You must be very proud.

LeBron could probably take these four and drag them to the Finals.

---

Yeah, and MJ would drag them to a championship.

the biggest tragedy in all this is that the NBA playoffs arent starting right as this ended.

you know all the stars would have been out there playing with a different intensity.

Sounds about right

In LeBron's Eastern Conference it would definitely be possible.

Following Chicago's 6th Championship in 8 Years...

Phil Jackson was replaced.
Michael Jordan went into retirement.
Scottie Pippen was traded.
Dennis Rodman was released.
Steve Kerr was traded.

And the Bulls began to rebuild.

I think this might have been the most savage statement in the entire documentary.

Watching this, it's crazy how low scoring games were in the late 90s.

The Playoffs used to be victory through attrition. You were as violent as the refs allowed you to get away with, and the team that withstood the pounding the best advanced to the next round. Also, zone defenses were illegal at the time.

I was at that last game in Salt Lake City, actually sitting 2 rows in front of David Stern.

During the game, I spotted Leonardo DiCaprio sitting on the other side of the court with a small entourage. After the game, during the on-court celebration, Leo and his crew were arguing with security trying to get onto the court to celebrate with Rodman. They were leaning over the ropes, trying to wave Rodman over, while the stadium crew was rolling out the stage and setting up for the trophy presentation.

It was a pretty pathetic visual that brought me joy every time I thought about Leo getting humbled by some Jazz security guards that didn't give an F who he was.

Thanks a lot, Ahmad Rashad for helping him to the locker room and destroying one of my favorite memories.

Finished episode 10 this morning, that was outstanding. That man used everything as fuel against the teams in front of him. I just loved every time they would bring up this small thing like George Karl ignoring him in a restaurant, boom, another log on the fire. 45 isn't 23, boom, long on the fire.

I had no idea about what happened to Steve Kerr's dad, wow, that was a gut shot.

So much of all those moments were already burned into my memory. I hated the Jazz, I wanted the Rockets to have a shot in the finals vs Jordan's Bulls. Reliving the stuff about losing his dad was rough too.

If you want some more fun Rodman stuff listen to the Rogan podcast with Billy Corgan. Rodman and Corgan flew to Vegas during the finals against Utah between games and he showed up just before game time after partying all night and getting no sleep, he's a robot. Phil blamed Corgan, even though it was all Rodman.

Definitely helped reinforce my belief that being a kid in the 90s was great. The music was so good, and we got to see the greatest basketball player that ever lived at the top of his game.

Lebron isn't Jordan, and the distance between those two guys is a chasm. I would still take Kobe over Lebron, he's the closest there was to Jordan, Lebron is third place at best. Jordan played the game during a time of violence, that is one of the biggest marks against Lebron...they do not play the game that was played in the 80s and 90s, he might be able to handle it, but he's not required to play it. Every good team from back then played physical defense, now if you hand check it gets called. I miss that style of basketball.
