Also, i love how intense Jordan is. And they really show it.
It's all so storybook, him dropping two games in Seattle and then pulling out the fourth win on Father's Day, back in Chicago.
"The glove, hahahahaha!"

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.
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.
Wease.
Charlotte.
D’oh!!
Of course it’s Orlando.

It was funny to see him so amused with that.

After hearing the last few days about what a bully Jordan was to Scott Burrell I was expecting some vile shit when I watched episode 7 today but afterwards I was like...that's it? I personally wouldn't call a teammate a bitch but everything else was just typical ballbusting.

My favorite Jordan trolling in practice moment was the weird slow motion "I'm watching you" fingers he gave to Luc Longley.

Mrs. Bam walked in on me watching this, saw Jordan on the screen, and commented/questioned me about him being a rapist. She knows enough to recognize the most famous of basketball players, I guess (just enough to be dangerous), but not enough to be able to distinguish him from Kobe.
