I watched this the other day. Not great storytelling from the director and he flat out embarrasses his subject by intermittently playing drunken and desperate phone messages. I'll spoil it a little by saying that you are left without a clear picture of where things are or what the future holds. That said, Lloyd Swee'Pea Daniels is what you get when you have all the talent in the world but no common sense or family support system. Interesting watch if a little poorly directed.

Yeah, it's bloody good.
Actually this site lists it as starting at 5pm AEST which would be 7pm tonight.

I've never really followed the NBA closely but always heard rumours about Jordan being a complete arsehole. So far in The Last Dance I don't think he's come across too bad at all.
Any of you fullas that follow closely have an opinion on what The Last Dance is showing and if it's a true reflection of Jordan?
Also, was Pippen really considered the number 2 player in the NBA?

He held a final veto right on the content, along with the Bulls organisation. So it's coloured by that. He was a prick I reckon, but he was honest, and a prick for the right reasons. Lots of players probably couldn't have handled playing with him.
Pippen was awesome, but never the #2 guy in the NBA IMO. Awesome defensive player, and an unrivalled ability to finish with both hands at the rim. But not a creator and an average shooter (career 47/32/70 which is average given number of dunks he got).

It’s that combination of obsession to win / perfection / narcissism / impatience that made him difficult and even hated.
I think there’s a greater level of candidness in the MJ of today being reflective, but it’s still pretty sanitised.
In saying that I’ve really enjoyed it.
On Pip, never no. 2 in the league. Was in the top 10 and may have got a foot in the door for the top 5 when at his peak. There were a lot of great players around that time.
-
Yeah best two so far I felt. Funny such similar things with mj and Kobe regarding mindset and bullying of teammates to attempt to get the best out of them. Bj how good with that shot would have felt awesome.
-
Just finished watching 7 & 8, awesome.
-
And I tend to agree with Reggie, across the board that Pacers team was better than the Bulls. Problem was they didn’t have MJ...
-
Is there only two to go?? How good is this series? So much I didn't know (and don't try to know either to be fair)
That Pippen benching himself was awful.
@Hooroo Jeez, after watching one of the latest episodes last night you wouldn't want to ever be out of form on a team with MJ in it. Didn't realise he was so intense, I guess his relentless and ruthless pursuit of excellence is what made him and the Bulls so great during that period.

If this doesn't teach any wannabe sports pros then nothing will. The dedication to be the best means you have to train the best. That everygame is to be played as if it is his last mentality.
I love it.

I watched with my daughter, her boyfriend, and my son. All 3 thought MJ was too hard on his teammates and my daughter suggested that MJ should have been fired for his behaviour...She is not into sports and never has been.
I took my son aside and said sometimes you have to be the bad guy.
