Him wearing warriors gear during his Last Dance interviews was really irritating.

Kerr is the best.
He's a pretty big LeBron fan, though.

As one would be after seeing what Lebron can do for four straight Finals.

MJ is a really bad dresser. Maybe Kerr said something about his lack of style.

Kerr is the epitome of a fashion icon. Take your slander to a different thread.

I love the way the Last Dance is set up so far. The flashbacks, the focus on the major players: Phil, Pippen, Krause, Rodman, etc. and the theme of Jordan being able to improve in whatever area he chooses.

I mean he's got to own a black t shirt or something right?

But yes, incredible. Growing up in the 80s / 90s MJ Pippen and the bulls were everywhere, but it was hard to watch games or appreciate the front office stuff (at least outside of the US where I am). All that stuff is so accessible now, trades, salary cap, contracts etc.

And seriously, you couldn't write some of these characters, they are straight out of the movies. That Klause (?) GM is a walking caricature. This is way more dramatic than anything that will come out of the warriors title run, or a Lebron documentary in 25 years time.

The players have all the power now. Can you imagine Krause trying to leverage the Cavs against LeBron? It'll never be as good as it was. The 90s Bulls were basically the peak of human civilization.

OK LOL :haha: :haha:

I think NBA fans are just eating all this up. I know I am. I love all these power plays. You are right, player empowerment! An imagine Kawhi (or even PG) signing a 7 year contract for 18 million! all these top guys do one or two years all the time now.

And even if Kawhi or PG did sign a bad contract it would be renegotiated in a heartbeat if it meant avoiding blowback from players/free agents.
