    The Last Dance

    Who's watching? Just finished episode 7 and 8. Jordan is the ultimate competitor and still the G.O.A.T.

    You certainly did not want to piss him off!

    It’s great, teammate or opponent he didn’t cut anyone any slack.

    I love his demeanor when he watches another player talk about him on the IPad the interviewer hands him. You know you are a great player when Bird and Magic say you are.

    I'm enjoying. Seeing a flashback to something I saw a great deal of live. What I'd forgotten is how graceful he was and how good Scottie was. Was not aware the GM was somewhere between brilliant and terrible person

    Interesting the sacrifices these high level competitors make to achieve these goals. He clearly didn't care about friendships as much as he did winning. His kids have also had some interesting comments. I do respect the that it appears he didn't cross over to the dark side and take PED's or cheat. I am stunned by how many hours some players and coaches work and how easily it can spin out of control like with Paterno, the Astros, Lance Armstrong, etc.....

    I think the elites-of-elites have a different mind-set, obviously. I heard John Smith(OK St wrestling coach/2 time Olympic champion)speak two summers ago. He talked about when he traveled he only worried about when, where, and who he could train with, regardless of country. Said looking back cost him a lot of relationships

    If it’s the last dance, why is there more than one episode?

    It sure brings back alot of memories watching it. He was an incredible player. Just amazing to watch. No one could guard him. You couldn't even trap him. He would always beat you. Always. He always seemed to give 110%. And then if you pissed him off he would kick it into 150%. Everyone else just stood back and shook their head.

    They didn't put it in the show cause it wasnt a blip on the radar for what he did but if you get a chance check out Kevin Garnett's story from his rookie year of talking crap infront of Michael. It's hilarious hearing him and Rider tell the story.

    Its getting replayed quite a bit on ESPN so I suspect you will have other opportunities to watch it, if interested.

    He played and excelled in an era when the game was significantly more physical than today.

    After college basketball players leave college they cease to exist in my sport world... So I doubt I make the time in my very, very busy lifestyle of kicking back and drinkin' a few on the back deck watchin' the ducks float by... Dan

    I was living that until recently as well...in a week I've gone from anxious to see some to being fully caught up with all 8 episodes. Great documentary and refreshing to see further into the behind the scenes approach MJ took.
