Official Michael Jordan 'The Last Dance' Doc Thread (NO SPOILERS)

[filial_piety]

great great documentary...this is definitely a gift to the game. I was a teen watching all of this back then, but this doc fills in alot of the stuff I just didn't know and it clears up alot of misconceptions that i had about the whole team. In the 90s the media was completely different...so alot of this stuff never came out, and you only knew about it if you were a die hard fan or actually in the business as a player or an analyst. They didn't really do the gossipy contreversal back-n-fourth debates and rumor spreading like they do now

but I watched all of the bulls finals...and I had no idea that the GM had so many problems with the players, and I had no idea that Pippen and Rodman were so underpaid compared to MJ....and I had no idea that Pippen had beef with the GM

ANd I don't know of this has been mentioned, but this is alot like the "Come Fly With me" Doc that SI gave away with subscriptions back in the day, I still have my VHS copy.

I don’t believe he was selfish. He was criminally underpaid. Jon Koncak making more money than him. fukk that. He outplayed that contract. He deserved more.

He was horribly underpaid. 1. Shouldn't he take some responsibility for that? 2. Its his teammates that are really gonna suffer. He's making them pay for his dumb decision to sign that contract.

So he really wanted to graduate?

I don't know why people act like Jordan running out of a room of coke and groupies would be a lie. At first I was like

Then I saw his country ass talking in college and I believe him

He wanted to actually stay in college for a third year which seems crazy to me.

I don't understand why people don't believe him. He came from a probably church going family in the south and had good mentors. He was driven to play basketball and thats it.

Those coke parties were full bacchanal. Magic Johnson parties
Y'all know how he got down.

For y'all clowning MJs accent, do you guys sound like Barack Obama?

ETA: @Hubie Brown to comment on this.

I can't really fault Pippen for signing that contract seeing where he came from and how he got to the league really. Were they really looking at NAIA schools like that back in the day? He should have had a better fukking agent, I wonder if he was stealing from him.

Agent probably wanted to take no chances either

shyt like this is why needs to end his career with 5 rings. You can sort of drown some of this shyt out with 5 rings and 4/5 FMVPs but if he ends his career with only 3....

Na I think it was history or geography.

It's funny because it's true

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Na I think it was history or geography.

He switched to Geography in his sophomore, as he missed too many lessons due to basketball.

Either way he excelled at both. He put up the numbers and knew were the basket was.
