Michael Jordan "Last Dance" journey in 1997 Paris Mcdonalds Final - best moments in Slow Motion
MICHAEL JORDAN WAS L'IDOLE OF ALL PARIS AS THE BULLS TOOK THE MCDONALD'S CHAMPIONSHIP
The Last Dance season starts with Mcdonalds Tournament in Paris.
The prime minister of France, more than 27,000 other fans and some
1,000 journalists came to see him play two games, some of those
people applauding him, some asking for his autograph and some
wearing Bulls warmup tops. (And those were just the journalists.
Honestly.)
If this season should be the end of the Bulls' belle
epoque--coach Phil Jackson says that this is his final campaign,
and Jordan says he won't play for anyone but Jackson--then what
a weird way for the end to begin: in Paris, where the Bulls
betrayed a palpable last-days-of-the-Beatles kind of vibe. They
arrived without forwards Dennis Rodman (who was in California
recovering from bronchitis and pneumonia and grumbling about his
still unsigned contract) and Scottie Pippen (who is out until at
least late December following foot surgery) to play in the
McDonald's Championship, an international tournament of six pro
league champions, contested in an arena, the Palais Omnisports
de Bercy, whose exterior is covered in growing grass. "We like
this building," explained an NBA vice president. "It's the Chia
Pet of arenas."
Be that as it may, there was only one oddity of any interest to
Europeans in Paris last week: Herr Jordan. Or Senor Jordan. Or
Monsieur Jordan. Like God, he was called by a thousand names,
though Jordan was quick to deny one journalist's suggestion that
he is God or that he's even a god. "It's certainly an embarrassing situation for me," Jordan said when pressed on the issue of divinity. "I play a game of basketball.... I try to entertain for two hours and then let people go home to their lives.... I could never consider myself a god."
