@@ExtraVictory You're getting into semantics and arbitrary definitions. First off, broadcasting isn't a requisite. The so-called media is often a strawman that would refer to radio, TV, newspapers and magazines. Ca 1993-1998, i.e. during the events of episodes 7 and 8, and there was relatively little national sports broadcast programming, so if people said "media," likely as not, they meant something in print. Second, number of listeners or readers is only brought up after further consideration. To use Last Dance examples, it flashed a few articles and columns suggesting a connection between James Jordan's murder and his son's gambling debt. I didn't recognize the names in the bylines, and I don't know which publications these were from. I know even less how many people read them at the time, just as I don't know how many people still watch Skip Bayless or Dan Patrick, but I know they have shows on a network. My point was, in 1995 there was a meaningful distinction between having a radio spot on 1-on-1 Sports and yammering about some topic at the bus stop, but not no2. I don't know how many people listened to either person 25 years ago, butnonenhad the potential to reach tens of millions of listeners and one didn't. I don't know how many subscribers you have now or will have next year, but even if I don't happen to know who you are, you can theoretically reach as many viewers as a multimillion $ company. When people want to claim they're being picked on by "the media," they'll point to articles, TV spots, podcasts, radio, no matter how obscure.

To sum it all up “when the cat’s gone. Mice will play”. As soon as Jordan came back the party was over. It was time to win championships again.

No, MJ would've never made it on a big league roster. I live in Birmingham where Michael played with the Barons, and followed his baseball career with close attention. There's a few iPhone videos of Terry Francona giving a speech recorded at a private banquet in Cleveland that can still be found here on KZread where he was more brutally honest about MJ's baseball abilities. Francona said his swing was much too long and drawn out to ever hit major league pitching; he was somewhat clumsy on the base path because he was so slow starting; and his arm wasn't strong or accurate enough for a MLB roster to use as a starting centerfielder either. What'll surprise you most when talking to those who played baseball with him is how much more carefree he was, and how much more fun he seemed to be having. He was still the iron willed competitor who had to win at everything he did, but nothing like he was in his basketball lifetime. He knew he wasn't the best player on the team so he was free to just be one of the guys in the clubhouse in baseball in ways he never could in the NBA. Michael actually bought new team buses for the Barons players to travel in which he paid for out of his own pocket. He also bought pool tables and ping pong tables for the clubhouse also. He was never a diva or obnoxious celebrity while playing baseball either. Seriously, he seemed to be a completely different person who actually enjoyed being a Double A baseball player more than he did being the best basketball player in the world.

Pippen was wrong for sitting out the last 1.8 seconds of Game 3. But all of his teammates loved Pip since he set them up for easy shots, covered for them on defense, patted them on the back after MJ lashed out at them, taught them where to be in the triangle and stood up for them when Phil called them out watching film. Pippen wasn't the ideal #1 option but the perfect #2 who can make his teammates better on the court without dominating the ball and taking alot of shots. Pippen made it sustainable for his teammates to play alongside MJ.

Glad to see Colin dismantle the ridiculous conspiracy theory. Bunch of Alex Jones gossiping crazies.

This is so dumb. Yes suspend him because he gambled legally and didn't pay his debt? That's not even the NBA's responsibility to have him pay debt. Also, Scottie want the second best player through the first 3 rings before Kukoc came? Come on Doug.

I will say this, I have had the same thoughts about what this documentary is really all about. I know jordan was the mastermind behind getting this put together and probably the money, but it does vacillate between being about that final season and being 4/5 just about Michael Jordan.

There's a reason Doug Gottlieb was one of the 1st to get dumped by ESPN. If you HONESTLY go back to that series, Scottie Pippen was dominant & if Hue Hollins doesn't call a phantom foul at the very end of game 5 which allowed Hubert Davis to make 3 free throws to give the Knicks the win, the Bulls go home, win game 6 & the series 4-2. I was angry at Scottie for sitting for the last shot but there were more games to be played. He also helped us win 3 more title's so get out of here with that selective memory BS!

No, I've been in that situation. It's due to too much "this isn't good enough for sales and accounting."

Even Russians are like, "Oh, the Asian girl is French."

It was a mistake that Bird went to the Celtics and Magic Johnson landed in LA.

If MJ is as competitive as everyone wants us to believe he is, and if he was an excessive gambler to say the least like it seems he was, there’s no way on Earth he never, ever, once bet on a basketball game.

Boston, LA, New York were the only popular teams at the time.Jordan is quoted as saying New York is the mecca of basketball, especially back then in the 80's . Very obvious bent corner on the envelope.

It's possible he was gambling on Basketball games. Pete Rose not in HOF because of gambling. Stop acting like it's nothing.

So the league fall apart players and owners are richer

He didn't like to pay his gambling debts that is a fact

Ewing draft was fixed

Gottlieb is annoying. He's one of these guys that if something's not quite negative enough, it's not real. Good for Colin for standing up to this borderline troll. Yeah, let's whine about them not talking to everyone that was just looking for any dirt on MJ throughout his career... How would that be any more credible than something that's supposedly too positive all the time? It wouldn't. Journalism is almost always slanted in some way, no matter how miniscule. I guess he better question himself too, because he for sure has opinions. The take that this isn't a documentary is basically a butthurt take from journalists that can't stand seeing something that doesn't actually throw dirt on someone. I guess trolls stick together.

Colin: "Conspiracy theorists are losers." Also Colin: "I like Donald Trump."

What gets me about Jordan being the best of all time. First Magic went to 8 NBA finals in his first 10 years winning 5 including his first year. Bird went to 5 NBA finals in 10 years winning 3 including his 2nd year with the celtics. Magic went to four in a row as did Bird go to 4 in a row. Several times they beat each other. Jorden took till his 7th year to get to the NBA finals. Won three in a row. Then basically took off two seasons. Before returning to win 3 in a row. Then retired for a second time. Bird and Magic didnt take off a couple of years cause they were stressed. They played no matter what. So Bird and Magic are 2 "Goats" at least that I would put before Jordan. During the times I was old enough to remember all of NBA from 80s on......

The conspiracy as I heard it was Jordan was suspended for two years. He did what he had to do to convince the NBA to let him back early.

His trainer had a basketball workout for the upcoming season and a baseball workout ready when that time came the next year.

Teams like the 90’s Knicks used to play zone and get away with it. Ironically, MJ hit the game winning shot in college against a zone...go figure.
