Title: The last dance
Post by: yoga-like_abana on May 01, 2020, 01:56:18 PM
Been great so far, honestly probably the first show I've watched live in forever. So many great quotes so far too

Agreed.  I am very much enjoying it.

Caught up with the espn app this week.

1) it's really jarring to see Jordan playing in college without a 3 point line. I don't think of him being that old.

2) present day Rodman is near unintelligible, really reminds me of mumbling Rick James on Chappelle

3) Phil Jackson has to be one of the chillest dudes ever, I would love to know him

It’s been awesome. If they put all the episodes out at once I would have stayed up until 6AM watching them all.

I really enjoy the enduring hate between Jordan and Zeke that seems to endure (at least on MJ's part) to this day.

I think it was episode 3 or 4 when they played Thomas' talking about not shaking hands after the Bulls finally kicked Detroit's ass, and MJ was like "yeah, he can say what he wants, but he's still an bad person."

Thomas always seemed like a phony/ bad person to me.

Hard to fake the "good guy" persona forever.

This article from 2010 isn't worth reading, but it does have Thomas as the No. 1 MHOAT NBA player.

I should add that I wasn't even a Jordan/Bulls fan. They were like the Patriots to me. Was ready to see them lose. I think People who watched Jordan in the Mid-80s have a different perspective on him than us kids who grew up with Jordan and the Bulls winning every year.

There was a Run TMC cartoon shirt that was popular with townies. I failed to find that image, but did find this phenomenal portrait!

I think calling Zeke a fake nice guy is an unfair characterization. All of the issues that MJ, Magic, and Bird had with him had to do with on court crap.
Title: Re: The last dance

do people think just because he smiled a lot he was nice? he never had a reputation as nice.
Title: Re: The last dance
Post by: MakeItRain on May 05, 2020, 01:08:03 AM
Maybe because he's little?
Title: Re: The last dance
Post by: meow meow on May 05, 2020, 07:53:59 AM
i'd say because he's smaller, his smile, and his soft, calm voice are probably reasons.  i honestly didn't know anything about the bad boys growing up, was slightly too young in their prime.  do enjoy hearing these stories.

90s NBA was awesome. 2000s NBA was pretty good. 2010s NBA was great. Current NBA is different, but still good/great.

I really think the NBA is the most fun pro sports league out there. It really is fantastic.

This was definitely not the case for me.. Closest geographically, fun team, best player in the league, had a character or two on the team. they basically were the chiefs for me back then. + space jam. only thing I hated was that mj was never in video games (until later on)

I loved Run TMC, as much as one could like the Warriors at the time. They were only together for two years and hardly on television.

You guys should watch the ESPN 30 for 30, "Jordan Rides the Bus." It's about his decision to play baseball and his career in baseball. I haven't seen episode seven yet because it's not popping up on Comcast for some reason, but the ESPN 30 for 30 suggests he pursued baseball after his dad died because his dad always wanted him to be a baseball player.

I used to know a guy with yellow eyes like that and always figured it was from smoking cause the guy smoked a crap ton but I don't think he drank much.
Title: Re: The last dance
Post by: WildcatNkilt on May 18, 2020, 08:49:04 PM
MJ looked to be smoking a cigar in every scene that didn't involve a basketball in his hand.  Truly impressive.  I can only imagine how much water he drank to counteract his dry mouth and the fluids he was losing during games/practices.  I enjoy cigars every once in awhile but have never been a smoker.  Can frequent smokers chime in here on the difficulty of smoking and being a bad-ass athlete?

So did a search and came upon this article:

https://www.cigaraficionado.com/article/michael-jordan-a-cigar-before-every-home-game (https://www.cigaraficionado.com/article/michael-jordan-a-cigar-before-every-home-game)

Apparently he smokes 6 cigars a day now.  I'm assuming that would make a person's eyes pretty yellow.
