Yeah. What was the deal, there?

He felt torn. Between bringing his teammates to his level at any cost and what that meant for how he treated people. Jordan is an asshole, but I don't think you can call him a "bad" guy. Actually, for all the talk about how this was going to make people think about him differently, I actually like him even more. Calling Scott Burrell a Ho is hilarious. Burrell seems chill as fuck honestly.

My criticism was more with the placement of that section (at the end of an episode) more than anything. Seemed to come out of nowhere.

I really didn’t expect that coming from the guy in the Hanes and Gatorade ads.

Finished episode 7 and 8 last night. I love Jordan even more than I did before this documentary came out. He is perfection. Not only is he physically gifted, but the hard work, the sacrifice, his ability to deal with situations gracefully with all of that pressure and negativity coming his way from the press (trying to link his gambling to his father's murder), the coming up big every time he had to. He is like a real life Rocky movie.

His trainer getting chocked up when recounting how he trained so hard after baseball let's you know how unique Jordan's commitment was.

There's a certainly a "winners write the history books" type of vibe to this documentary, but the archival/backstage footage and presentation have been great.

That whole bit with them building him a training facility while he was filming Space Jam was amazing. I don't at all remember hearing about all those NBA stars coming down there and playing pickup games. That right there seems worthy of a 30 for 30 episode.

Yeah. I loved when, after being knocked out of the playoffs by Charlotte that first year back, his trainer told him to call him when he’s ready to start getting ready for next year and Jordan says “I’ll see you tomorrow.” That says it all about the man’s determination to win.
