ESPN: The Last Dance ('98 Bulls Doc)

And also, Mike was a piece of shit man. I hate how we excuse his personality flaws cause hes the GOAT. Mfers even go further and try to act his flaws are actually good.

And its like nah man. Mike was a piece of shit. Terrible personality. No one on this board could he friends with him.

The majority of mfers act like he cant be a bad person and be the goat at the same time. end of the day though, Mike is the goat. Not even debateable. And Mike was also a piece of shit. Not debateable.

Krause is one of the best general managers in NBA history. He also made one of the largest mistakes of any general manager in NBA history, robbing the world of a chance to see the extent of what was possible from the most iconic basketball player and team ever. The Last Dance tells one of these stories but not the other.

How Much Credit and Blame Does Jerry Krause Really Deserve?

I blame ownership more than Krause. Impossible to break up a championship team and fire the coach that won 3 years in a row if the owner isnt in on it.

Ive never seen the media riding a mfer to this extent. I know sports are dead and thats 80% of it, but man im ready for the documentary to end.

Funny shit is I been looking forward to Sundays. The doc is dope as fuck. But the commentary after? Cant wait till thats all gone.

Word. Having a healthy obsession is good. But Mikes obsession with winning were clearly not healthy.

It clearly comes from his issues with acceptance from his father growing up and being seen as not good enough. His yearning for attention and love fueled that competitive spirit into overdrive where it just consumed his life.

Unless they somehow magically came up with a solution for Hakeem then they might not have gotten 6 straight. Phil Jackson has said they had nothing to stop The Dream down low

The will Will Perdue disrespect is unacceptable lol

Phil said fuck him. Hilarious.

As a Knicks fan I refuse to give Phil any props but im glad this doc showing how good of a coach he is.

As a Knicks fan you should ALWAYS give him props

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

I still never understood why those all-stars helped him train while he was filming Space Jam, knowing damn well he was going to take their heads off when the season resumed. Wtf were they thinking?!?

One thing was clear to me through this doc...alotta of Jordan's competition, were fans of his. Doesn't shock me AT ALL.

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

I didn't like the excuses about Jordan being rusty during the Magic series. Magic were a good team and outplayed 'em. These numbers don't scream rusty to me

View attachment 279251

Seems that the rust was more physical. Far as his recovery time between games and how winded he would get at end of games...31 PPG ain't nothing to sneeze at, but the number could be deceiving if the player worn out by the end of the 4th quarter and cant close

The NBA is much better today. Defense is also much better today. All the back in my day mfers are wrong.

Grabbing a mfers wrists and clotheslining a mfer on his way to the rim aint defense.

Anyone who says the NBA is "much better" today is delusional. The 90s and early 2000s were GOAT

Where did I say I'm locking down stars, Any one of us can go at James Jones

Speak for yourself. My ass couldn't guard the ref fam..

Anybody that has hooped with pro hoopers know what time it is.

I’ve seen Kris Dunn look like the greatest basketball player of all time in pro am’s playing half speed.

The cats that hoop overseas and can’t even sniff the G League are animals.

Seriously. I played high school ball and hooped w my boys at the park 5 days a week. Closest I came to playing a pro athlete, was this kid that played college ball. Dude was unguardable. Conditioning on another level, handle was something else, shot consistency, etc. Is different man...stop actin like anyone on here can get up n go guard a NBA player

A lot of bums in the league that don't deserve to be there

100% inaccurate. If u got to the league you DESERVED that shit. TRUST ME...I was scouted by the Cincy Reds to play baseball in high school. Aside from my lack of pro level talent, I lacked the COMMITMENT and DEDICATION to put in the HARD work to get better and improve.
Matter fact, some of these dudes that are not as physically gifted as others DESERVE it even more, bc they had to in a sense work harder. Bc they couldn't just jump over a nigga

That's a lie, this dude don't deserve to ever pick up a basketball

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

Shit, bring this whole thing back around to the thread..Michael Jordan couldn't make the majors in baseball...shit he even struggled in the minor league...

Dont let the doc. fool you. They didnt really touch on his time in baseball like that. I remember those days...that nig struggled in the minors...he did alright at best.

Dude hit .200 and had 50+ RBIs (in Double A)...nigga hadn't played baseball in 10+ years or something crazy...that's a win fam...do you know how hard it is to hit a fucking baseball consistently..mofos throwing 90+ heat inside on you and then a 72 MPH breaking ball on the outside...what?!

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

Funniest part of the series so far lmaoo

This and that old dude hitting Jordan w the shoulder shrug playin quarters...fucking GOAT
