They will definitely make this, or at least attempt to make this a feature film, from the perspective of Krause. Played by Jonah Hill.

Great couple of episodes. Loved all the Rodman and Phil stuff and how they understood each other because they were outsiders working within a highly regulated and conventional business environment.
Still, I can't imagine any coach would allow a player, let alone a player like Dennis Rodman, to take a "vacation" in Vegas during the middle of the season lol. Maybe that's why Phil has six rings and no one else does...

Maybe that's why Phil has six rings and no one else does... Phil has 11 rings, sir. And two as a player. But the real MVP of last night’s episode is Carmen Electra.

SnoBorderZero , I see you’re online. Have you watched Isiah Thomas doing damage control? lol Lol yeah it's been really funny. It's not like this is new information that Jordan has always hated him and still does. Even better was that Bill Lambier is like fuck that I don't feel bad for shit lol. |

It’s not even the first ESPN documentary that shits on him. The Dream Team 30 for 30 and the Bad Boys 30 for 30 were both negative portrayals of him and the Pistons. But I’ve enjoyed his passive aggressive “we beat Larry, Magic & Jordan” comments. He’s not totally wrong. |

I do think it's unfair to keep labeling those Pistons teams as some sort of NBA pariahs that were bad for the sport.
They were GREAT for the sport and were one of the greatest teams in NBA history. They brought a physical and mental toughness that's unrivaled by any other team. And that toughness MADE Michael Jordan into being the greatest of all time.
They were wrong to walk off the court prematurely, but they weren't wrong for playing basketball the way they did. Just like the 2004 Pistons, that franchise is synonymous with team-first, defensive-minded, grind it out basketball. Okay, they've been awful since trading for Allen Iverson a decade ago, but you know what I mean.

But the Bad Boys Pistons were a bit much. Today’s soft NBA can be blamed on them. They spawned the 90’s Knicks and 90’s Heat. But they were a noteworthy team. They did beat Larry, Magic & Jordan. Even if that was literally. lol. Credit where credit is due. |

2005 NBA Finals is super underrated.
Kids today would say it's boring and go back to watching their braindead TikTok videos, but real basketball fans know that series was amazing.

If wilt was so dominant he woulda won more titles.
Just triple team him in the paint and he was a turnover machine. He was probably more dominant but they still figured out how to fuck his day up in clutch games.
Wilts the melo before melo.

Russell dominated Wilt in their matchups. He was a more skilled player.
It's like when Hakeem went against Shaq in the 1995 NBA Finals.

SnoBorderZeroThe best thing about this documentary is refueling old feuds. Last week it was Isiah Thomas. This week it’s Charles Barkley.

These couple of episodes weren't as strong or interesting as the first four, but they were solid.
This weekend should provide better fare with it setting up the parallels of Jordan's first couple of retirements. They're not skirting around the gambling stuff though which is great.

The 92/93 championships didn’t need to get so much attention. |

It was good when they focused on the constant pressure/attention that Jordan had to go through but they were laboring, letdown episodes after last week's of Rodman and Phil.
