Great doc but I felt like episode 9 and 10 were mid. It even felt different than the rest.


They didn’t have as much time to finish it since Corona took over the planet and the release got pushed up.


The director said there was alot more interviews they wanted to get in that weren’t able to happen because of timing

I mean, you had someone say that he told them he planned on retiring in 92, was only staying to go for the 3-peat.

Not sure what gambling demons would force Stern to suspend him for a weird ass number of months and have him accepted into a sport that just banned a star player for gambling.

One thing I caught in the doc was that outside of the influence mj's parents had on him, was the influence strong, older black men had on him. Mike mentioned how he liked having that mature voice in his life and I think it helped him a lot. Mike never moved goofy. Always seemed cool, calm, collected and measured. I think the role of older, black men helped shaped him to be like that.

This is from an article in 1999:

"But Jordan has always moved most comfortably in the company of men, specifically among his small inner circle. This is a preference, like the habit of sticking out his tongue, that he inherited from his father.

They are mostly older, mostly rural Southerners, closer in spirit to past generations than to the hip-hop kids rising up in the league. Some, like security guard Gus Lett, 61, and Nike rep Howard White, 45, have played the role of father figure, especially since James's death. ""Michael has the Southern reverence for elders,'' says Whitfield, who is five years older than Jordan. "

Mj's Court

You also had his main man ahmad constantly around him. Then you had quinn buckner popping up out of nowhere every championship in mj's hotel room. I think a lot of these sensitive players today lack any type of older male guidance and that's why they move like sensitive, attention starved kids.
