ESPN 10-Part Michael Jordan Documentary

TNT did a Shaq-Kobe video but yeah a proper doc would be nice

Did they even have HD footage in 1998?

SnoBorderZero, bro, Dennis Rodman should have gotten MVP. Jordan was struggling. Missing TONS of shots. Pippen with his back problems. Malone & Stockton are playing great. Utah was winning the game. Then as soon as Rodman starts fucking with Malone, you see the whole energy in the game switch in the Bulls favor. He took Utah off its rhythm. And the icing on the cake is Bob Costas’ commentary. He’s annoyed with Rodman and is mad that Malone is stooping down to his level. Then he disses WCW. Hilarious!

He got into foul trouble so Utah regained the momentum until Jordan went on autopilot. Utah played better. They really did. They could have won the game if Stockton had made that 3. It's further prove that relying on 3’s is a flawed method. It’s what bothers me of modern basketball. Fucking go in!

But anyway, interesting game.

I didn’t sweat it at the time cause 1) the Pacers series was the actual Finals 2) they had already beat Utah that previous year and 3) that game 3 blowout turned the Jazz into a joke. I had no doubt the Bulls would win. But looking at it now, yeah, the Bulls were clearly still licking their wounds from that Pacers series. They’re beat up. Stockton & Malone are just straight up swaggering up & down the court. If the Bulls were a weaker team, the Jazz would have definitely won the series. The narrative that Utah was an old-ass team is completely false. These dudes would have beat the Raptors last year. No joke. Stockton is already a small-ball 3-pointer shooter and Malone plays how LeBron should be playing. This is a championship team in 2019. The Bulls were just so good it made them look bad in comparison.

Dude, Malone's JACKED. He was the 90's LeBron. People talk about Shaq but Shaq was just a fatass who got easy dunks. Malone is what you want from a big athletic player. He plays so gracefully it makes LeBron look like a high school dropout. And no one could guard him cause he's so physically dominant. Rodman's strategy was to fuck with him. When Rodman got in foul trouble, he couldn't guard him. Rodman was smart enough to wait for the game to come down to seconds to go back to clowning Malone and that's when Jordan seized the opportunity. The error there was having Malone go for the rebound. It was just a straight up bad play. And then Stockton misses the 3.

Like Reggie Miller said in the doc. You could be the most skilled team, but if you make bad decisions, it won't matter. The Jazz could have EASILY won that series but they were badly coached, Malone gets caught up in shenanigans with Rodman and they were outwitted by a seasoned championship team. If the Jazz had been more disciplined, this series would have been an easy win for them. Again. Look at the 2019 Raptors. Under normal circumstances, there's NO WAY they defeat the Warriors, but the Warriors were banged up. All the Raptors needed to do was keep their shit together. But if Kwai Leonard had gotten tangled in Draymond Green's web, the Raptors would have lost. Injured or not, it's still the Golden State Warriors. You gotta play smarter not harder. The Jazz were just an intellectually inferior team.

And you watched Demolition Man today

Someone keep an eye on Wesley Snipes

Go watch Double Team, you wimp.

Double teams awesome. And then go check out press interviews Rourke did for the thing. They're great.

Neverending and I will watch it after our annual Highlander II: The Quickening viewing.

This was awesome. Solid doc series. But they really should have done a whole episode on what is the deal with Jordan's bodyguard's hair.
