    The Last Dance on ESPN

    Has anyone else been following this documentary? Very well produced. It shows a side of Jordan that many people had never seen before.

    It’s great for the generation that never saw Michael play. However, MJ had total control over every aspect of the production. All video shot was never to be released without his permission, he had final say on everything. So, to say it is a documentary is not true. Ken Burns makes documentaries, this is something far different.

    I have watched every episodes. Things haven’t changed—— the media has always been azzholes. Last night it was good to see And hear Barkley and Ewing‘s views on those days.

    I work with a Tom Brady super fan boy, maybe he saw this and brought up the question of “who’s more clutch” Brady or MJ? Of course he believes Brady is better.

    Didn’t know MJ had complete control over this. But only watched a little. Some rough language

    Yes, been watching. I grew up in Chicago. Was a great time to be a Bulls fan during the 6 championship run!

    I've watched every episode. I grew up a huge Jordan/Bulls fan so I've been looking forward to this for awhile. I'm glad we have something to watch while no other sports are happening!

    Great documentary on Jordan and the Bulls. I got to see MJ play many times and he is in fact the GOAT

    Wife and I are watching the series. We are through the first 4 so far. We both really like the series. It is nice to have the players look back at the situation and reflect on what was going on.

    I was born in 82 so I grew up watching Jordan. It's been great reliving some of it. Never knew a lot of the behind the scene stuff was going on.
    Why did Kraus hate Phil Jackson so much? He tried to get rid of Phil and said 98 was his final year no matter what. Jordan and others said they would leave if Phil didn't come back. First of all as a GM how do you even think about getting rid of a coach that has won you 6 championships. Second as the owner, how do you even think about keeping a GM that is going to break apart one of the greatest dynasties that have ever been in sports? Maybe I've missed it in the documentary, but I haven't heard why Kraus and Jackson didn't get along.

    I maybe alone on this, but Ken Burns makes snooze fests. I've tried watching his stuff multiple times, but they just drag on for so long.

    There was a discussion about this subject on the Dan Patrick Show. It was basically, “Documentaries are done without input or control of the subject, otherwise it is an infomercial.” I call this show good entertainment, but not a documentary because of the way it was produced. No biggie, but call it what it is.

    They were both great in crunch time, but I will take Larry Bird...LOL. It’s a stretch to compare two great athletes in 2 entirely different sports.
