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. "

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.

Quinn Buckner must have declined to be interviewed because dude was lowkey everywhere with MJ, Isiah had to be sick

They left out players like Shaq and Kyle Korver from the Lebron list too.

Because the exact thing happened to Bird while facing the Lakers in the '87 finals.

That wasn't in the finals. That was a regular season game that took place in December. But damn good find.

Somebody smiliey Larry Bird reaction to the shot in Episode 9

@3Rivers

The thing about MJ is if he won the championship 7 times, he would want 8, 9, 10.

Phil was right, it is better this way.

I do hope he wins a ring with the Hornets though. That would be icing on the cake.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

So both of these dudes were ex Chicago PD right?

@3Rivers

Larry knew they pissed Jordan off and the Pacers stood no chance.

 

[Milk N Cookies]

back in 88 he wanted kool moe dee at the all star game to rap the national anthem...

Well well well... there’s a reason that this song was chosen

 

[aceboon]

Probably already been posted but this was pretty good

 

[pickles]

Although Brady didn't win a ring in his final season as a Patriot. A similar style documentary some day would be epic

Not really.

 

[pete clemenza]

That pizza story came out of nowhere. No lie- but Ron Harper used to promote some parties here in LA way back and at one of his functions and after a few beers in him he said it wasn't the flu, said Jordan was hung over asf cause he'd been drinking wine and smoking cigars the whole night prior to the game.

Coli brehs clowning MJ music selections but remember at that time listening to rap was basically taboo, especially a basketball icon like MJ. It was the late 90s when Iverson and them came on to the scene that it was somewhat accepted even then the NBA was
