jerry krause dancing will forever haunt my dreams

I guess they are still putting together the final two eps of The Last Dance. Director's last interview is with Stockton out in Spokane a week from now, and still editing to be done.

well, this one got moved from june to april right? makes sense.

i don’t think i knew the kukoc backstory

I’m through E5 now and it strikes me as really strange how they marketed this so heavily as a documentary about the 1998 Bulls.

This is an unprecedented deep dive into the life/career of Michael Jordan and there just happen to be these other people along the way that make the story more interesting. Sure it’s a lot of Phil Jackson, Jerry Krause, Pippen, Rodman, etc. Lots of non-Bulls obviously like Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, etc., too.

Weird that they didn’t market it differently.

It’s funny how Jordan didn’t even consider the possibility of meeting the Knicks - a team that would reach the NBA Finals the following year - in the 1998 playoffs.

Why didn't they show Scottie dunking on Ewing and telling Spike to sit his ass down? That's an iconic sequence from the Bulls/Knicks battles. Did Spike nix it somehow in exchange for his participating in the boring shoe stuff in EP 5?

5 was weakest so far. 6 was a bit better. Best is yet to come though I think.

I was unaware of this Jordan/Thomas hate.

Watch film of them playing in All Star games together - they were fantastic as teammates.

I’ve already established that this is an MJ doc, not a Bulls doc.

MJ is the greatest athlete of all time. Just enjoy.

I am!! I’m saying it’s weird they marketed as a ‘98 Bulls doc because it is not that.

It's about 98. To understand 98 you have to see what came before The Shot

IT’S NOT TOO MUCH JORDAN. IT IS , AND SHOULD BE, ABOUT JORDAN. THE MARKETING ANGLE IS WEIRD.

but there’s been a lot of time devoted to backstories on Rodman, Pippen, Phil, Krause, Kukoc etc...even if it’s been framed more around jordan

my understanding from the get go was that the camera was following jordan specifically
