What you think of the documentary of Jordan's career?
What about the rivalries he had?

It was a fun watch. Main thing I took from it is how bitter the other guys are (ewing,Stockton, malone, horace grant).

The wife and I watched the whole thing and both really enjoyed it. That was the era when I loved the NBA, but was a bit on the younger side so didn't really know all the ins-and-outs of what went on behind the scenes.
I wound up gaining even more respect for Jordan, Jackson, Kerr, and Paxson.
It's funny to see some of these bitter old men still holding on to grudges. We give wrestlers crap for it, but some of these guys are just as bad if not worse. I enjoyed Thomas acting like he doesn't know why everyone hated him though. "Who, me?"
A good companion piece to this was the 30 for 30 from 2010 called "Jordan Rides the Bus". It expanded a bit more on his time playing baseball.

Yeah I think it’s messed up how Pip didn’t want to go back into the game in 94 with a few sec left in the game & would do it again.
And the same applies to Isaiah. About changing the past. Isaiah said when the Celtics lost to the Pistons, the Celtics walked off the court, yet Isaiah walked over to shake hands & talked to Kevin McHale. Yet when Isaiah walked off he didn’t talk or shake hands with the Bulls. When Jordan lost to the Pistons he did the right thing. Lots of Jordan bitterness.
And as a Bulls fan The Jerry’s... man, more so Jerry Reinsdorf is an idiot. Poor front office leadership & structure. Jerry Krause would just say all the wrong things/do the wrong things & had a Giant ego for a GM.

It was interesting hearing that guy who supposedly made and delivered the Pizza to Jordan. I know he called in locally in Utah, but the Ben Maller Show got in touch with him and I heard him on that show overnight the other day. He said he was a Jordan/Bulls fan at the time so he did the complete opposite of poisoning the pizza.

Ok the delivery guy/maker didn’t mess with the pizza, but someone else that handled/was around the pizza could of mess with it. What’s also funny about this is why not have someone go pick up the pizza or deliver the pizza to someone else’s room? 5 guys to deliver a pizza in hopes of meeting or seeing Jordan, means they knew it was for him.

That's another thing. According to the guy, it was only him and 1 other person that delivered the pizza. He said there weren't even 5 people working at the time the order came in. He said he knew it was for the Bulls, but no idea it was gonna be for Jordan. He believes there was no way he got sick from the pizza, as he made it with fresh ingredients and was around the pizza as much as possible the whole time. Maybe it was a huge coincidence and he really got sick. Or it could've been something else he hate earlier that day. So, who knows, it just adds to the mystery of what happened to him even more.

I'm choosing to believe Danny DeVito's character in Space Jam is based on how Jordan feels about Jerry Krause. It was a fun watch. Main thing I took from it is how bitter the other guys are (ewing,Stockton, malone, horace grant). Why Stockton and Malone?

Stockton said he didnt wanna be any parts of an MJ fluff piece. Some of it wasnt in the series, just reactions I've read to them seeing/hearing of the series. Just think 20-25 years is long enough to get over it.

I don't even remember if they interviewed Malone in the early episodes, I just mainly remember Malone going onto the team bus to congratulate the Bulls after they won in '98.

I liked it. The 90’s was middle school thru college for me so it was good to relive some of that stuff

I have absolutely no interest in basketball but a friend (who also isn't interested in basketball) recommended it to me so I thought I'd give it a go and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. I used to play NBA Jam on the SNES so I do recognise some names 😬

It's fantastic. The only disappointment was they could't interview Karl Malone.

I really enjoyed every episode. Though it got a bit hard to follow at times with the continuous timeline jumps.
