great series. ESPN 30 for 30 have been just amazing.
episode 1 - i would take babe ruth off the list and say MJ and ali were the only two athletes to hit the global market on such a massive level.
episode 2 - whether he's under-rated or not (he is), pippen was definitely under-appreciated...6th for the bulls in salary?!?! "whenever they speak michael jordan, they should speak scottie pippen" [michael jordan 2019].
episode 3 - the '86 celtics, the bad boys, the 90s bulls. how could anyone not prefer that era of basketball?
episode 4 - agreed, carmen electra still looks goood. and jerry krause really deserves more respect.
after episode 4's look at phil jackson the series loses the player-centric episode style and starts looking at a specific series instead.

episode 5 - episode is in memory of kobe. gets into MJs last all-star game, air jordans and his farewell to madison square garden. highlights of the first repeat vs portland and a look into the dream team. "republicans buy sneakers too." [michael jordan 1990]
episode 6 - focusing on MJs gambling. the '93 EC final vs the knicks and three-peat vs the suns are highlighted while the media are portrayed kinder than they were.
episode 7 - james jordan's (father) influence/death and the bulls' time without MJ. nice insight into the hard attitude he took towards his team-mates.
episode 8 - "he's back". the series loss vs orlando and dealing with the rebuilt team with the 72-10 season. finals vs seattle without his dad. would love to see more of those spacejam pick-up games.
notable new interviewees: toni kukoc, steve kerr, larry bird, gary payton, reggie miller, charles barkely, pat riley, bob costas.
