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.

Not here to be the spoiler just in case @voodoo hasn’t found the remote
, but I thought the Gary Payton part was pretty funny@ACT-Crusader said in NBA season 2019/20:

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?

Agree with the others. Whoever said in this series that Pippen was the #2 player in the league was clearly on the glass BBQ.
Throughout the majority of the 90s, in no particular order after #1, the guys ahead of him would have been, but not neccessarily limited to:
MJ
Barkley
Robinson
K Malone
Stockton
Ewing
Miller
Drexler
Olajuwon
O'NealBased on that list for a start he was barely top ten at times.

@shark if he's really the #2 player int he league, then the Bulls are a genuine title threat without MJ. They absolutely were not.
2 great episodes. And only 2 left for 2 great series? I am going to feel a little cheated.
First time you had people from teh Bulls outwardly saying he was an asshole. and then comes the "but..."
I love MJ even more now than i did before.

Same here! I makes me understand why he was so good.

I haven't watched the series but I hope they give credit to Tex Winter who was the architect of the triangle offence.
Pippen wasn't even the go-to guy when he moved to Houston and Portland.

Tex gets credit early in the series when there was the whole Doug Collins and Phil Jackson stuff.
On Pip, that Blazers side he was a part of was somewhat of an enigma. A very deep team with a lot of very good players - Smitty, Pip, Sheed, Sabonis, Brian Grant, Stoudamire, Detlef, the Plastic Man, Greg Anthony.
That game 7 against the Lakers In the WCF was a classic where they IMO choked and I guess history tells the story that the franchise never really recovered for over a decade and a half.
