Ep 3 was meh, mainly because a lot of Rodman's history is known and was covered extensively in his 30 for 30

MJ was pretty unapologetic about the Republicans buy sneakers too comment. Kind of admire him for not apologising.

Great documentary. As someone who has never watched basketball this is all new to me.

Why was sitting out such a big deal. Wasn't too clear to me.

Watched all the way thru episode 6 because I needed a distraction from real life, the rewatchability of these episodes is HIGH and will definitely have me rewatching on Sundays, and MJ is fukking hilarious when he's just interacting with folks and not putting on the front for media that he did during his playing days. I get why he's faded to the background after dealing with the madness for all those years but dude needs to be on camera doing something.

From Michael's perspective, and he stated this view back in the 80's, once you sign a contract, you honor that contract. I posted a quote from his mom, where she said she used to always tell Mike to not worry about your contract after you signed it. You didn't know what the future held, how many chips you would win, e.t.c when you signed it, but you have to stand by it. So playing mind games like "I'll rehab on company time instead of the summer" seemed selfish to him especially since it was their last run. Like you really bout to pull this during our last run?

And krause accepting trade calls on pip didn't help the situation. It's like why rush to comeback when this clown doesn't want to give me a contract and now he's trying to trade me?

well he's also an owner, so he can't do too much cause he'll end up getting fined like Magic was a couple years ago

Michael Jordan’s personality is not what I expected at all :russ:

I can understand why some people call him an a$$hole

Seems to still have a real vitriol hate for Isiah Thomas. Is that really just because he roughed him up?

Dude is super competitive and you have to respect that but there is a line between being competitive and an a$$hole...

MJ was a habitual line stepper...

In episodes 6-8 you'll see exactly what I mean by that...

Isaiah didn’t like MJ from the start and its looonggg been known that he organized a freeze out of MJ during the 84 all star game. Remember Isaiah is FROM Chicago and he didn’t like the fact that MJ was given the red carpet treatment when he got there. Isaiah is wayyyyy more ruthless and competitive than people know. Isaiah fell out with almost every superstar player in the league because he was the leader of the Bad Boys and was on the front line of “roughing up” players
