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

[High quality poster]

Son MJ with the baseball bat reminded me of this

These 30 for 30 recaps with Jalen and the directory of The Last Dance are amazing. MJ really is a psychopath. The director said MJ was obsessed with Latrell Sprewell after he retired. Apparently he thought he was such a great athlete, so MJ came to their practice one day to school him & let him know that he can’t fukk with him.

Good shyt. I just peeped and they are good. Now I'm curious to what clip involving Larry Bird is going to have the internet going crazy like the director teased out. Also seems like there may be some bonus episodes coming considering when they asked him about it all he could say was no comment.

Jerry Krause was the WOAT GM


I’d have that fool investigated for tampering. No way he was genuinely that trash at running a team

IMO that 98 ECF vs Pacers is not better than '92 ECF vs Knicks Semis, but I'll blame Mark Jackson for both Game 7 L's. Pacers weren't shooting at all...and Knicks struggled to score. He supposed to do his job and get them easy shots.

Reggie Miller being held scoreless in the 4th quarter by MJ had something to do with it too

One of the coldest jump shooting performances ever. Straight abused GP. Half court shot included. 45 points on 68% FG.

MJ heard the rumors about GP being able to guard him, then he dropped 45, 32, 26 and 40 on him in their next meetings.
Dude was petty as fukk

He was trash lets be real....anyone can build around a prime MJ. The fact that he was willing to blow up a championship team, run off the GOAT, fire the coach and trade Scottie fukkin Pippen shows he had no idea what he was doing. He was so determined to prove he was a good GM that he literally fukked up the Bulls guaranteed 4-peat. The Bulls would have dominated the short season and murked the Spurs in the finals

And we saw what he was like post-Jordan, the Bulls were a complete joke.

You make valid points. My take is he was great at his job and forgot his role. He was also Reinsdorf archangel and puppet. His ego led to his downfall.

No, he wasn't. He had to make a lot of smart calls like drafting Pippen and Grant, signing Kukoc, trading Oakley for Cartwright, picking Phil Jackson to replace Doug Collins, bringing in Rodman when nobody wanted him. He made some real diamond in the rough moves that took guts.

It was 1998 and that team was and guys wanted to get paid. Those guys was old and the '96 and '98 draft class players was gonna be the ones to run the next gen. I would have personally kept them together for a 4-Peat but it was also heat coming from the ownership. It's not easy to build a championship team you build one way and some teams ends up fukking you in the playoffs because of a weakness you didn't anticipate shyt is like that.

When the Bulls rebuild he drafted Elton Brand, Ron Artest, Jamal Crawford, Tyson Chandler, Eddy Curry, Jay Williams. It didn't work out but clearly he had a good eye for talent.

You say that like there haven't been great basketball players that had limited team success because of shytty management.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this but MJ has a white guy as a personal assistant and best friend.

How you gonna be a best friend and an employee?

MJ really is




Episode 7 was my favorite episode.

With the exception of Pippen and Rodman, I think we overrate every single one of those moves he made simply because he had MJ and MJ was bound to start winning eventually.

Those guys were role players and role players with MJ will eventually learn to play their role or else they won’t be playing. You could have replaced them with any serviceable players and the outcome would have been the same.

I’ll give him credit on the other moves. But I still stand by my statement that without the GOAT on his team he had no idea how to assemble a roster that works.

Breh, are you talking about George? George was the first person Mike met in Chicago. In one of his old videos, he told the story of how they met. When Mike first got to Chicago, the bulls were supposed to send a limo for Mike to the airport. The limo never came, and George, who was a limo driver, his customer didn't come, so he asked mike if he needed a lift. Been friends ever since.

Edit:

Here's the video. 29:18 mark

How can Grant and Kukoc be overrated they were damn good players

Grant went to the Magic and he destroyed the Bulls and helped bounce them from the playoffs in '95

That Bill Cartwright acquisition was huge because he was Ewing's OG on the Knicks and he used to lock him up when the Knicks and Bulls matched up especially at critical times.

Phil is overrated? He pulled Phil out of Puerto Rico. He would end up instilling the zen, defense and Triangle and managing all those egos and personalities. MJ would have been playing iso ball until his body gave out and not winning. MJ is human my guy he needs the right team and coaching around him to win a ring.
