Kenny said don't call yourself a GOAT unless you've had a rule change because of you. They made up a rule for illegal offense when Jordan was playing, because the Bulls used to send everybody to one side of the floor and let Jordan operate on the other side. It worked because back then you couldn't play zone defense and you had to be within arms distance of the man you were guarding. MJ ate that up.

Apparently, not everyone is as easily impressed by B-roll of Jordan messing around off the court. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, legendary documentarian Ken Burns said he’s not a fan of The Last Dance. Mostly, because Jordan’s production company, Jump 23, is involved with the project.

"I find it the opposite direction of where we need to be going,” Burns said. “If you are there influencing the very fact of it getting made, it means that certain aspects that you don’t necessarily want in aren’t going to be in, period."

Burns, who is no stranger to the sports-doc scene, having directed Ken Burns’ Baseball, added that he would "never, never, never, never” (four nevers!) agree to those terms if he was in charge.

“And that’s not the way you do good journalism, ... and it’s certainly not the way you do good history, which is my business," he said.

The two worst full seasons of his career in terms of shooting %, but somehow he shout 82% on fadeaway jumpers.

I love how mike didn't need a good night's sleep or stayed doing taxing activities the day/night before a playoff or finals game.

Golfing all day with ainge the day before dropping 63 on the celtics, staying up late, playing cards with magic the night before the shrug game, golfing all day with barkley before dropping 55 on the suns, getting silly drunk the night before game 5 and playing with a hangover

Imagine if this dude actually rested

He's like LT a bit()in that they're just born to do it.

Yo and he and LT got that same type of quick witted humor.

I remember when the NFL network were doing their 100 greatest players list with him, ray lewis and belichick on it. Dude had so many 1 liners

Throughout the show, ray kept talking about his grandfather, how his grandfather did this, his grandfather did that. So ray begins telling another story and i can't remember exactly what it was about, but it was something like "I looked into the stands and guess who i saw?" LT was like "your grandfather".

Everybody including belichick busted out laughing

Just came to post those tweets, I hope the last 2 eps aren't a letdown due to the circumstances

 

[Big Boss]

[Big Boss]

Episode 9 just got finished today

 

[MoneyTron]

Jordan still showed out, even though this was the last championship year and they were getting older.

The thing that stands out to me about MJ in the 2nd 3peat was how strong dude was. He was probably hovering around 215-220lbs but he played bigger than that.

Also watching Kobe is weird at this stage if you followed him his career. He didn't grow into his body until '02 IMO so he just moves goofy. Never afraid though. Should've won 6MOY that year.

This is cap lmao

As fake as his 48 inch vertical

It's funny to think he took those 21 months off and played Minor League Baseball in Birmingham. I remember His dad getting killed and all of that. They used to make jokes about him in baseball, but he came back to basketball and reinforced why he was the best.
