This was a very entertaining piece of content, but we didn't learn much from it. The only time Jordan revealed anything was tearing up at how much of an a$$hole he is.Ken Burns said the same thing but people ignored him - maybe the guy knows what he's talking about because he's one of the best documentarians of all time?![]()
Stop it! Don't do this. We might as well shut the entire board down if we can't discuss topics as sports fans if cats have to pull this out the bag during a discussion.And all i said was leadership has a price. You don't have to like it.
But you never won anything.
You never won anything either.Stop it! Don't do this. We might as well shut the entire board down if we can't discuss topics as sports fans if cats have to pull this out the bag during a discussion.![]()
No you're the one who hasn't won shytYou never won anything either.
I've won this exchange with your emotional assNo you're the one who hasn't won shyt
Using another man's accomplishments to prop yourself up & to tell someone they never won anything.. Ok you win. PropsI've won this exchange with your emotional ass

We really comparing a player retiring after winning a championship to a player refusing to play the last 1.8 seconds of a playoff gameDid Jordan quit like a bytch when he retired in 93? Or when he took his ball and ran home in 98 because Reinsdorf didn't wanna keep the same team?
The year he sat out the Knicks game, he was the 24th highest paid player in the league.If it was so important that he play every single minute of playoff games maybe the Bulls could have paid him more than an end of the bench player?
I mean this is just not true butheres the problem with the doc IMO
Nearly all of MJ's teammates in "The Last Dance" catch a stray or rather, some implicit suggestion that it was due to their character flaws/weakness that the Bulls went through some sort of rough patch.....
Meanwhile Jordan is shown to be nigh flawless. The worst coverage he gets is when they tell the story of him hitting Kerr. And even then that same episode ends with the implication that Jordan was only asking the same of what he was giving that his leadership style was the best thing for that era of the Bulls.
Even the pre Phil/Scottie years are quickly summarized as "he was a fukkING PHENOM who was needed the right coach/cast to win".
So given that this is a supposed to be most in depth look at the Bulls team as an entire organization, i can imagine that the extremely pro Jordan Slant would be a little annoying.
No he retired you retardDid Jordan quit like a bytch when he retired in 93? Or when he took his ball and ran home in 98 because Reinsdorf didn't wanna keep the same team?
Jordan is a degenerate gambler but it was painted as "he is just competitive."
The bullying was captured as "he is just a winner!"
The best Jordan documentary will be told when he isn't involved on the production side, but the NBA won't allow that story.
But you see HE brought it up. Some people wanted to hear from the groupies he was running with. The casino managersIt brought up Jordan republican quote, his gambling, his bully tactics
I mean just is not true but

Agree to disagree.Bullshyt. It was a Jordan led product and Jordan more than anyone had the opportunity to recontextualize every criticism of his career.
The bullying? (which we never saw the worst of)= "oh it was what we needed, didn't ask anything of them I didnt do myself"
The gambling?="I'm competitive baby, if I had a problem my wife woulda left me"
Retiring to play baseball?="I said I was gonna do it years before I did it"
Republicans buy shoes too?="I donated to that nikkas campaign what more they want?"
Mind you, I'm not knocking Jordan for having creative control. Mans has a brand to protect.
But its obtuse to act like that painting a supremely pro Jordan picture wouldnt come at some expense of others, and that's exactly what happened.
