Don't let this documentary fool you. Jerry Reinsdorf broke up the Bulls. No GM has the power to break up that dynasty. This doc is throwing Krause under the bus and repeatedly backing over him because they players didn't like him. Reinsdorf broke up the Bulls. I'm not defending Krause but Reinsdorf broke up the Bulls.Originally Posted by Bsktball55
In the GOAT conversation I always go to one point regarding Jordan, he did things that no one had ever done almost every night.
Not to say Lebron or Kobe are not amazing, but when you watch them they remind me of MJ, Magic or others. MJ was different in that he would find a way to win and it was usually unique and always amazing.

dylan nailed it, end of the day Reinsdorf is calling the shots. They talked about how Phil and Reinsdoft made the agreement for that last season, not Krause and Phil...
I got a good laugh when Jordan talked about his "vacation", IE I'm gambling and got caught so in an agreement with the league I'll retire for a bit then come back with a clean slate. Then we can profit even more from jersey sales because I'll use a different number, then switch back the following season.
Watched the episodes last night....not a basketball fan, dont watch games but i though this was pretty good.....

I am loving the documentary, lots of great information about the NBA in general. It shows why and how MJ became the greatest ever. The one last night about the dream team practice with Magic and Barkley pissing Jordan off and then getting there ass beat was epic. When you are playing against the best in the world and they all walk away calling you the ALPHA ALPHA thats the GOAT. The thing about Jordan that I respect the most is the fact that he was real, not fake friendly like some other elite payers.
Whether it was Kraus or Reinsdorf, still don't understand why they needed to break the team up. I was a huge Bulls fan in the early 90's through the breakup and am convinced if they would have brought Phil back a couple more years MJ would have continued to play. Kraus had his boy from IA right, Tim Floyd to replace Phil. Sure looked like Krause wanted him gone since Phil was getting the credit for the success and not one or both of the Jerrys.

It is a good show. But hard to call Jordan the GOAT, it's just too hard to compare players from different era's. Here's one example.

Very true. A good way to determine who is the best is to just watch kids playing on the playground and see who they try to imitate...it’s always Jordan.
Thought the opening they did with Kobe last night was real good. I usually don't follow tv series to tough but have been making sure I've sat down by 8 every sunday the last three weeks so far.
Fairly certain that Bulls fans and Sox fans hate Reinsdorf just the same. He can't keep either good for to long. Holding out hope the new crew coming in for the bulls can turn it around but with the clown still up top who knows.
Kareem was very good but he is not the goat. His UCLA teams were loaded and were some of the biggest cheaters in NCAA history. His later titles with the Lakers came when he wasn't even the best player on his team.
You can't just use numbers like that Kareem played for 20 years, and Jordan for 15. So Jordan's numbers came in 3/4 the number of games. I also don't believe that championships determine the greatest. You have to have a team to win a championship no matter how good you are. Kareem doesn't win his championships without Magic and the others, Jordan doesn't win his without Pippen and the others etc. Same with Kobe and Labron. If you don't have a team around you, you won't win championships no matter how good you are.
Magic and Larry have been around the league for a long time. They had seen the guys like Wilt and Kareem even been on their team. All those guys will straight up tell you MJ is the GOAT. I think Oscar Robertson was about as good an all around player as there was before MJ but I dont think he could have kept up with MJ. Kareem and Wilt were great too so was Shaq but those big guys couldn't even bring the ball down court without a PG. MJ was the total package probably one of the best defenders of his era as well.
I've watched all 6 episodes and it's been fabulous. Growing up in the 90s, literally every kid I knew that followed sports was a Jordan/Bulls fan.
Watching these episodes really just shines the light on how dominant he wanted to be in every aspect of the game in order to win. Some of the best players in the league now are the biggest crybabies in sports, and defense is something they care NOTHING about. Jordan would dominate these dudes.

Well, ESPN is advertising it as a documentary mini series.

Well, that’s because they produced it.... Do you think a real documentary allows the subject to control every aspect of the production?
I've been watching it, very good. I was a Larry Bird and then Phoenix Suns fan in that time frame, I hated those Bulls teams so bad because they were so good
Bobby Knight said it all before MJ was drafted, he told Jerry to draft MJ and play him any where on the court, center, forward, guard or in the air
MJ is with out a doubt heads above every one else including the so CALLED KING!! I have watched ever basketball game i could ever find playing, huge fan of all the Birds, Magic, Jerry West, DR J and the list goes on.

Jordan was IMO the best all around basketball player, I think Kobe has a better pure offensive game, but Kobe wasn’t as good on defense as MJ was.
That being said, If you watched MJ play in his career especially in the 90’s , the referees greatly protected him, if a defender breathed on him he went to the foul line.
