The Last Dance Docuseries

Was never a Jordan superfan however I have always acknowledged him as the g.o.a.t. This docuseries is fire!! What do others think?

 

I’ve watched every episode & it’s been legit. I’ve been looking forward to this thing for about two years now. It’s great that they not only focused on MJ but all the important people of this dynasty. The shits been hilarious too with plenty of memes coming outta MJs interviews. Can’t wait for the last two episodes.

 

I like the fact that nothing is being sugar coated or fluffed over. Raw uncut emotion.

 

Yup it’s awesome. Makes me respect MJ even more. Some of the Scottie Pippen stuff made me realize just how undervalued he was.

 

Mj doesn’t win championships without Scottie or Phil Jackson as coach. The fact that Scottie at one point was one of the lowest paid players in the league in the late 90s was a crime.

 

Hell yea it is. Scottie easily is one of the 5 best all around players in the 90s period. He got his money when he was traded to Houston but by then his prime was done.

 

I remember many thought Pippen was overrated. I didn't agree. He and MJ obviously made for a great 1-2, and he definitely should've gotten paid (more).

 

I wish I was born just a few years earlier to experience that era. I wasn’t watching MJ until around Space Jam dropped lol. I did get to see him play one game in DC when he was with the Wiz and he had them old man hops... lol. Still tho it was awesome to see the GOAT regardless. The doc was dope from start to finish I ran that whole thing back the other day cuz I was bored lol.

 

It was good. Watching the Bulls is when I realized I was truly a sports fan vs a fan of particular teams. I rooted for NY teams as I still do, but I so appreciate the talent of those elite players. I loved the NBA of that era as they PLAYED 'da damn game. It was physical without so much drama we see nowadays. I was always amazed at how MJ defied gravity over and over again. It's like he had an anti-gravity bubble around him that activated at will

Yeah, he was done by the time he came to the Wizards. So were many of the old time greats. Sadly, I think you missed a great era with greats like MJ, Karl Malone, Ewing, Magic, Stockton, Bird, Barkley, Drexler, Hakeem, Erving, Jabber and lots more

 

OMG! Yes, those Pistons. I respected Isiah Thomas' ability but was never a fan. At the time one of my friends didn't care for Bill Laimbeer either.

Do you remember the "good guy" Tim Duncan used to get away with alot? I also hated the cheap fouls Reggie Miller would draw by routinely sticking his leg when he jumped for a shot

 

IKR! That's so cool that you were a NBA fan. The early 80s were my HS years, and had a g/f who watched games with me. My brother would often do friendly teasing because he didn't know any female sports fans, and her appearance was this girly Latina. Sounds like you and I may have been friends at the least (if there weren't like 10 states separating us). I was also into football, and baseball. Nowadays, I can rarely get with baseball, but can't get enough of the NFL and college ball.

 

Yup! That's a big part of why baseball faded away for me. Such a long game with so little action. Sometimes you could see something exciting like a play at the (home) plate, but truly the entire game could pass with no real action. With basketball, it's hard to even look away briefly, and bathroom trips are only during commercials. We were all set for March Madness at a friend's house (his basement has 7 TVs, and the bar is ALWAYS stocked with kegs, and hard liquor) as COVID-19 was finally being taken seriously here. Here's a pic showing the main 5 TVs...

 

Clearly one of the best in-depth documentaries that I've ever seen in any format. ESPN definitely put some serious production value into this project.

Even if you weren't a Bulls fan it was compelling television at it's finest and it was as informative as it was entertaining.

Even if you grew up a Cavaliers fan and he knocked you outta the playoffs on numerous occasions, you had to respect M.J.

 

Damn, I knew that shit hurt.
