Spike Lee tells a story about playing cards with MJ, Magic Johnson & Charles Barkley | First Take 

Spike hit the nail on the head. As Jordan got older, he adapted his game to be more cerebral, using his brain to win games rather than just his athleticism. Not nearly enough credit is given to him over how smart he was.

Spike Lee has been the only person keeping the Knicks relevant right now.

“Money, it’s gotta be the shoes!”

Spike doesn't get enough props for propelling Michael as a cultural icon because those sneaker commercials he did with Jordan back in the day really propelled his brand more than any single thing he did that was not on the court.

so much things standing out from this docuseries.. to name a few: 1. work extremely hard to win 2. there is always a cost of being a champion that you must be willing to deal with 3. always find a reason to motivate yourself, including creating something out of nothing 4. do not think about missing a shot that you have not yet taken 5. always perform the best every night because someone might not have seen you perform before and they are paying to see you perform 6. if you signed a contract, you have to perform and finish it no matter if you find your contract unfair in the middle of it 7. stay in your lane and do not meddle with other people's lane (I play basketball not politics) 8. if you have the will you can win 9. you need support to be a winner 10. when you order pizza from Utah, you do not share it

Thanks Money. Spike is the MJ of film making. “It’s gotta be the Shoes.” Also, he got game was a great father and son relationship movie. A very underrated movie. It was great.

Spike MARS Blackman the GOAT

Its gotta be the shoes!

Nice to see you, Spike

They could have shown more of the 1995/96 season, more footage of the regular season and the playoffs plus a little more interviews. Would have loved another couple episodes. A blooper reel of those they were talking too. You just want more, hope he wins an award for this documentary.

Le36ron's doc.... Ep 1-Swept by Spurs. Ep 2-Ran to D Wade and Bosh. Ep 3-Meltdown vs Mavs, outplayed by Jason Terry. Ep 4-Beat 20 year olds in rigged finals series. Ep 5- Saved By Ray Allen. Ep 6-Historic beat down by Spurs. Ep 7-Ran back "home" Ep 8-Lost to Curry. Ep 9- Saved by the NBA & Kyrie. Ep 10-Lost to Curry again. Ep 11- Lost to Curry and swept again. Ep 12-Ran to LA. Ep 13-Missed playoffs with LA. Ep 14-Begged AD to go to LA to save him. Ep 15- Dominated by his Daddy, Kawhi. Ep 16- Finale.... Coronavirus. Your "GOAT", King James. 😂😂😂

It was great to see it was MJ's Dad who was his inspiration and hero. People wanted to dismiss Lavar Ball from his sons when MJ did everything for his Dad. I do remember seeing his Father at many games growing up. 2020 has showed us who MJ really is starting with him speaking about Kobe's death and now this documentary. I loved that the fact that he then made another older black man who was his security guard a 2nd Father figure who someone to talk to. I salute him for that.

Spike is a living legend......

Jordan had great moments in championship situations but he also had sustained greatness game after game for years. Thousands of fathers brought their sons to watch Jordan play and were never disappointed. In his prime decade if he scored just 22 pts he would be asked a hundred times after the game,"what was wrong? are you sick? are you injured??" He was so consistently great, he always put on a show and gave the fans what they came for.

As soon as the guest says MJ is the best all time I automatically buy into the whole interview...😁😁😁

That was a fun segment guys.

A truly wise man does not live by hero worship alone.

Spike needs to make the biopic for Jordan

I'm looking forward to Spike's new movie on Netflix next month! *Da* *5* *Bloods*

MJ will be talked about for as long as basketball is around. Funny but true. I remember as a high schooler a friend of mines took out a vhs tape featuring MJ. He has yet to win his 1st championship and he was seen as a larger than life player.

I agree Michael Jordan is definitely mythical. He almost doesn’t seem real.

Wow! That was some 'playing cards with Michael' story, Spike. Got any other amazingly lackluster stories to regale us with?

he should’ve been interviewed in the last dance

No Max, it was the 4th title that was his 1st after his father's passing.

My favorite movie director period. "Bro Spike Lee🌊🌀🔥☄"

Bill Russell - 11 rings + 5 MVPs Kareem - 6 rings + 6 MVPs Jordan - 6 rings + 5 MVPs

Switch to x2 speed when spike lee talks

I thought there was another 10 hours to this doc

So many stories coming out during quarantine cause we running out of stuff to talk about

how's you guys thought on the switch to Wilson BASKETBALL in 2021? Let's discuss

Can’t wait to see lakers 2020 champs

I like basketball

Spike Lee's 'Kobe doin work' >>>>>> the Last Dance

Agree with Spike that the Doc def made Jordan more human, but his Stans STILL act like he's an infallible God lol..

10 seconds of this 6 min + video is about the card game.

No one notices the Pearl Harbor poster over his right shoulder?

Only dislike was from the knicks HO

Jason Terry > Le36ron. 😂😂😂

He got game

Run 100 marathons, and try not to walk. Some just want to keep running with every step not knowing when the next will fall. Try it.

I don't believe in the whole GOAT thing, you can only be the best of your time and different players playing different positions are hard to compare. But Jordan was the best player for longer than anyone else in the past 50 years, with maybe Kareem near his level. From 3 years before he won the first championship, thru the first 3 peat, even during the 2 years of his first retirement and thru the second 3 peat and beyond there was no debate at all, everyone knew he was the best player. In Lebron's early years Kobe was thought to be 1A and there was debate among LA fans and Lebron fans, and in the last 4 years there is debate as to whether Lebron is still the best player in the NBA. In Jordan's era there was no debate. Bill Russell was the best player on the best team for a long time but at the time he was not always hailed as definitely the best player in the league hands down.

Very true Spike! Look at Tiger Woods! Same thing. To be a killer you must destroy! Only a few have that mentality. Bird had some of that!

Men let me tell you mad respect for Spike Lee but this guy don’t know how to answer questions 😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why is he saying 1 sentence every 30 seconds

I would do a movie titled "The Mythical G.O.A.T.

He did that on purpose 😂

Fix audio

WHEN I THINK OF MICHAEL JORDAN'S CAREER, I ONLY THINK OF 1984 TO 1989.

Hakeem>Kareem

Whose the girl reporter?

Whose worse Bron fans or MJ fans?

44th comment 🍟🌭🍕

Gained zero insight from this dude. They should have interviewed a brick.

Kareem >>>>> Jordon

Jordan stopped playing in the NBA when he knew LeBron was coming😄.

Spike told 0 story @ all..smh
