Rodman's brain: Asking Michael for a cigar was my roundabout way of apologizing to him. Rodman's mouth: I wenna michajordan room. . . ass foruh cigar buh. . . ksdjhfksjhdflakjds
I met my best friend because we had a fight in school. Went to the principal office, we were told to squash it and talk and became best friends for life.
Rodman going to wrestle with Hulk Hogan in between games against the Jazz in the 98 finals was hilarious. Dude skipped practice to wrestle, shows up to workout in PJ’s, and then hits a clutch free throw in the game lol
M.J. training the house down in fitness drills shows you how dedicated he was to winning. he could've dogged it, but he knew that being the fittest in the team helps his game and draws his teammates along to bring them up to their highest level. Smart man, not worried about being loved by his teammates, but respected.
The only thing I didn’t like was how it jumped around. This is strictly because I’m only 21, was never alive for any of this so the clips can get confusing trying to tell which year it is, even though it’s blatantly listed at the beginning of every year change. I mean I’m a moron so that’s probably why I didn’t like it, but other than that, this was about as close to perfect as it can possibly get. 99% on rotten tomatoes ez
@@ALY-xc7fl yeah that's understandable it did jump around a bit, I live in Utah and remember when the Bulls were here for the finals and "The Flu Game" so that documentary hit a soft spot for a Jazz fan but I still loved it.
@@ALY-xc7fl It’s def more of a nostalgia thing for us older folk. I was a kid in the 90’s remembering MJ as the most popular person on the planet. I think I saw Space Jam in theaters at least 10 times in ‘96
Exactly right about his attitude and mindset is that of winners. In year 2094, when the TB12 documentary drops, ppl are gonna say he was a bit of an asshole too but that’s what it takes to win. Perfection.
Jordan was the man. Being a pacers fan, I couldn’t stand him. After watching the doc I respect him. He was a straight killer. Win at all costs. He was loyal and didn’t team surf to build a super team. The nba now is a joke. No loyalty and everyone is a sissy.
Our Pacers should of beat him 98! Had 13 point lead in 3rd qt and 7 point lead in 4th! Kerr hit some huge 3s in 4th to save them and Pippen shut down our perimeter in 2nd half and of course MJ & company got the calls
MJ will do one of two things for you, either make you alot better or break you and make you quit. Think of it in terms of how nobody left and they won championship because of his leadership. Now we have Kobe who had the same type of personality and got that type of competitive drive from MJ. Kobe went at Dwight Howard and We all know Dwight couldn't take it and broke down. Think about that for a second steve kerr 6 feet 160 pounds Punched MJ Dwight Howard damn near 7 feet tall couldn't handle words and broke down and left practice.
Man! Burr is right on, this def shld be required watching for anyone wishing to achieve. They shld be playing this in highschools everywhere. Crazy thing is i watched this back to back, couldnt stop cuz i grrw up south of chicago and these guys were HEROES to us and Chicago. And now I go back and watch when i need a kick in the a$$ to get motivated for whatever. I always saw these guys, MJ especially, for how they really were like in this doc, but this doc truly hit harder now in my mid life. Gawd dmb what a time it was to see this era of NBA basketball first hand!
I loved the Jordan doc and it didn't make me think negatively of him at all. He's a champion and he showed us what it took to become that. Honestly, I thought he was pretty humble about it too. Just a man reflecting on his legacy.
5:26 damn jordan in practice pump fakes and does a reverse from probably the dotted line at full speed makes his teammate smile at how crazy of a play that was
Growing up watching him from the 1989 season helped me a lot to build up my character watching him the way he approached everything the way he approached life and competition I even started to act like him and that helped me a lot to achieve the things that I've done I really thank him I learned so much, the knowledge that I got even the aggressiveness, I started being as aggressive as he was and believe me it helped a lot, lifting weights, take the challenges, be competitive like I didn't want to lose it's an awesome feeling but takes time and dedication
What the one kid said when he found out he killed Jordans Dad is the single saddest thing I've ever heard in my life. Doesn't matter how big or bad a brotha you think you are....NO ONE wanted to ever do that.
@@Hpencer nah...just two kids by chance stumbled upon his car while he had pulled off the road to catch a nap. Nothing but a simple robbery gone very bad. No conspiracy there at all. Just wrong place, wrong time.
The documentary was pretty truthful . He didn’t sugar coat anything . I don’t know how bias it was . If it was biased he wouldn’t have been worried about people thinking he was an asshole after seeing it ..
Phil Jackson kicking Jordan out of their practice shows why he's one of the greatest coach of all time, in all of sports. At that point Michael Jordan is already being considered as the GOAT and one of the most popular humans in the planet. That incident show two things 1. The calibre of a coach Phil Jackson was 2. The commitment of Jordan to winning. Due to his stature, he could've easily called Phil and Kerr out reminding them who he is (which isn't far fetched, given his ego) telling them he's the draw of the NBA but he didn't and apologized to Kerr and acknowledged his mistake to Phil. Who in today's superstars regardless of sport can tone their ego for the sake of the team? Stephen Curry might be one, but who else?
Idk why it’s so hard for the old school to accept Lebron is the greatest team sport player of all time and the new school accept that Jordan was the most unguardable(making him the goat) basketball player of all time. I believe a game to 11 btw the 2, even tho it holds no weight ,but put them in their primes 1on1 and it’s an 11-10 game. Personally Bron is 1a, MJ is 1b. Put Bron on any team, they are a threat. But mike was his own force and his willpower to try to win is still unheard of, Kobe came close RIP
@@wuhansam when its all said and done, there will be no questions...people seem to skip the fact that the league is light years ahead of what it was back then.
The fact that Jordan got final edit and the documentary pretty much is 10/10 is saying a lot. The only reason it's not winning an Oscar is because it is a docu series.
Director Jason Hehir: "I ran into zero stop signs in the editorial process. Michael was involved, but in a distant satellite-level while making it. He never came close to the editing room and only received cuts as they were about to go on air. I think Michael is above the fray when it comes to what he wants in and out."
Exactly why he’s considered the best ever. His mentality to win the game and to be a dick to his teamates to make them better just shows how great he was, i really dont get why people just want to give Mj criticism, this was the best sports doc ive seen
I’m a total nerd and have never been into sports and didn’t think much of Michael Jordan, but after watching the last dance I have all the respect in the world for him - as someone for anyone to look up to, to see what it takes to be the best. His talent was equally matched by his drive, if not more so.
When I was young, I rode for a snowboard team before all the Olympics and the glory. Me and another guy traveled the country living in a van snowboarding the best places in the country. The thing that hit me most is that I spent a summer in Oregon snowboarding with only professional riders. My boarding by the end of the summer was exponentially better. When you get to hone your skill with the people who do it best mentoring you, you become a better person. I can't imagine what it would be like to be on the same team.as Jordan
Arnold Palmer, "You can be great at something AND nice". Bill Russell won a ton of titles, he was competitive, but hardly a bully to teammates. Joe Montana demanded excellence, but was a quiet leader. Jordan was your typical bully, he knew who he could pick on, and who he couldn't. Note that he made sure to befriend guys like Oakley in his early years. He didn't pull that crap on Oak.
@@Canedude08 the irony of your argument is that I don't recognize any of those names aside from Jordan and Oakley, and Oakley only because I've watched Last Dance. There are few with Jordan-equivalent success; not just in terms of money, but also in terms of celebrity status. The guy did Space Jam and created Air Jordan's...
@@Canedude08 Joe Minnesota or whatever never hit the same peaks that Jordan hit during his career in terms of transcending his sport into a pop culture icon.
I don't know sh!t about sports, and I know a lot of people have said this... but I could listen to Bill Burr talk about sports *all day*. I feel like it's a quintessential part of "guy culture" that I missed out on. I feel like with Bill's knowledge of sports, plus the fact that he's a comedian, means he can talk to practically anyone and strike up an interesting conversation no matter where he is.
He was an asshole at times, he was also really cool, he had fun with his teammates, he made them better and he was ultra competitive. But he still got smoked in quarters by Wozniak.
@@bbHoodski 😂😂😂🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Wow, I feel bad for you Kid. FYI...LeBITCH LOVES TO STAT PAD. Plus his stats aren't impressive at all, because he played right out of High School. If Jordan, played right out of High School, he stats would have been double that of LeBITCH’s.
@@bbHoodski Because he has repeatedly come up short in the biggest moments and he unabashedly chases super teams and lives in this world of no accountability. Also Jordan has better stats than Lebron including advanced stats.
The greatest thing about Jordan and the Bulls, is the story of a cocky, arrogant, young man who learned he needed others in order to win and become a champion.
Some people already have a ton of self motivation, drive and are very competitive and don’t need to be pushed and yelled at by someone telling them they’re not doing enough. That can work well for some people but others it doesn’t at all. Some people have been through stuff in the past that gave them trauma and if someone starts being really intense and coming down hard on them, it’s not going to be helpful whatsoever. It will just trigger them because of past abuse. There may have been other guys on the team who were more like Michael Jordan who are self motivated and don’t need or want some hard ass yelling and insulting.
Annnnnnnd.... we have the liberal. While mostly i agree in that lots have self motivation, obv MJ had this....if you are able to let some possible past trauma arise when you r being pushed, you r not as strong as you think, in fact you are weak minded and really have no place where u r at but are there on pure luck. Esp if your world can crumble at a moments notice. Being a champion has no place for that type mindset. Thats why there is only a couple times in history we have seen what MJ and the Bulls did
@@Mike_Jones68 I’m not a liberal. I’m someone who’s really hard on themselves. I suffered severe trauma in early childhood and suffered many other things afterwards. I don’t need that kind of motivation. I motivate myself that way. I need a certain encouragement and support. Aggressive tactics like Michael J just triggers me. I
@@Mike_Jones68 oh I’m not strong? You don’t know what I’ve been through, what I’m going through or how hard I’ve tried to heal. Perhaps you don’t know what you speak of.
@@Hpencer wow...3 separate responses, same person, to one of my comments...has to be a record. But in all seriousness, I dont need to know your background nor do I care whatsoever. Maybe you would pull thru with this type of encouragement, maybe not. Again I could give 2 hts. Problem is moving towards not having this type of motivation whatsoever only makes a weaker society with people maybe like yourself whose accomplishments are standing on a sheet of thin ice that could collapse with just minor aggressiveness. Again, I dont care any of what your background is, but if we continue, and honestly I think we have gone too far, but if we continue to passivate weak mindsets, give awards for everyones participation, that's not good either. Weeding out this instability in the mind is honestly the better way to make leaders who will actually lead, mentors/teachers who can actually mentor, not cry group therapy sessions, etc
_"That's what you need to do, to do what he did"_ Well said! The problem isn't Jordan. The problem is this new soft and lazy era. They would rather "CANCEL" Jordan and people like him, so that the half-hearted, watered down attempts from them and/or their modern heroes can seem better.
People complaining about Michael Jordan being a " sociopath" and all this stuff is ridiculous. The man won 3 championship's, retired, came back, and won another 3 like he never left. If you think Michael Jordan is a bad person for this you just don't understand sports and the competition that goes with it, it's not supposed to be easy to win that often and be that great of a player.
That Documentary is without question the best I personally have ever seen. I cannot imagine ANY superstar athlete, let alone the Greatest of All Time, the Greatest Athlete of not 1 but 2 Generations... its impossible to overstate how incredible that Doc is. Jordan is and will forever be THE GOAT.
i don't get the criticism that MJ had final editing and financed The Last Dance.. that's like saying someone can't write an autobiography telling it from his/her perspective.
