Anyone getting into this? This thing has become an event without any live sports on right now. I've played and watched basketball my whole life. Played through college (in hindsight probably a poor choice I am only a 5'11 white guy lol). Anyways I am going be 33 next month. So the 97-98 Bulls I was 10 going on 11, this is right up my alley. I remember basically nothing from MJ's first 3-peat but I was fully on the ride for the 2nd one. I was born in Orlando, I'm a die hard Magic fan, grew up going to Shaq and Penny games. I remember growing up going to games at the old O'rena, place use to rock. Anyways their 94-95 run to the Finals was probably my first true sports memory and the first team I ever rooted for. That team was the only team to beat Jordan's Bulls in his 6 titles in 8 year run (he took one year off to play baseball). Gave Jordan basically his worst moment in the 90s
Anyways watched the first two episodes of 10 last Sunday. Off to a pretty good start. I was too young to realize and I don't think even older people realized how crazy the turmoil was during those 3-peats, especially the last one. Sports media was hitting a boom in the 90s but wasn't what it is today. We would know every detail about this today. The GM Krause wanted to break the thing up multiple times but especially prior to 97-98. Sounds like MJ would have kept going with the Bulls but Krause forced his hand to retire in 98. Crazy. Also when you see Krause Space Jam villain makes alot more sense.
I just remember pulling hard against Jordan in his last 2 Finals vs the Jazz because I was sick of him winning. However now there has been a whole generation of kids who never saw Jordan lace em up. LeBron and Kobe were these kids guys. I think this is going be eye opening to alot of these kids just how damn good MJ was. Kobe was basically MJ lite and LeBron as good as he is just isn't Jordan. LeBron may be the most gifted athlete to ever grace the Earth. To be 6'9 250 and move like that, Jesus. But MJ just had a different mentality that is coming to light in this documentary. I have no doubt LeBron may have gotten Jordan once or twice just because he is a freak athlete but MJ would rip out his own mother's heart to win, Bron just doesn't have that kinda mean streak in him. He may think so, but not to MJ's level (or even Kobe or Bird's level really).
Anyways just curious if anyone's watching this. Or have any thoughts on MJ. Cheers!
