5/10, just another jordan brand legacy promotion. not even a top 7 30 for 30.
if mj didnt had final say in editing, this would’ve been 10x better.
they promoted this as having 500 hours of never seen, behind the scenes footage in 98 yet barely 30 minutes from that season was used
NBA greats denied a ring thanks to Jordan:
Barkley
Ewing
Stockton
Malone
Miller
Drexler and Hakeem would be on the list but snuck in the back door when Jordan played baseball
Everybody ate in the Lerbron era. Dirk, Duncan, Manu, TP, Durbeta (
I'm sure you will be able to purchase extra footage for a hefty price, at some point.

Michael Jordan or LeBron James? For NBA fans, the debate over the better NBA player will never end -- but at the moment, MJ clearly has more fans in his corner.
A new poll commissioned by ESPN found 73% of NBA fans believe Jordan is the superior player overall, and the Chicago Bulls legend swept all 17 questions comparing him to James by metrics both on and off the court.
To account for the generation gap -- Jordan last played in the season before James entered the league in 2003 -- the 600 respondents were split evenly into two age groups: 18-34 and 35 and older. Jordan naturally led by almost 4-to-1 (79%) in the older half, but even in the younger group, Jordan was preferred by nearly 2-to-1 (66%).

All the guys you mentioned didn’t a Pippen and the refs
Barkley - fat undersized 6'5 no defense pf and defense is extremly important for pf. Complete defensive liability in today's leagueNBA greats denied a ring thanks to Jordan:

Ewing - great 2-way big. Unfortunately his 2nd option was John aka grocery bagger Starks and not Scottie Pippen. Bulls still got their hands full with Knicks
Stockton - great role player. Good defensively, good passer. Couldn't create his own shot as well as break down defense with driving. Racked up a lot of cheap assists. Great lol
Malone - biggest mental midget in 90s nba. Jazz were average Western Conference playoff team before all their rivals became old. Props for their longevity though
Miller - 3 assists 3 rebounds no defense sg. Wow
Hakeem - during 1st Bulls 3-peat they were 1-5 against Rockets. Rockets were bad matchup for them and Hakeem was big reason why. Jordan was the greatest compe or the game has ever seen and took every game seriously unlike today's tic toc rappers (at least media and his fans say this all the time). Because of that, we can assume that Rockets would destroy Bulls in the Finals if Jordan didn't quit.
Jordan is no question goat candidate and it can be argued the goat. But he was lucky that the most dangerous matchups for him Robinson and Hakeem played in different conference and he had perfectly constructed team around him. He was also lucky that truly elite teams and dynasties like Pistons (Bulls beat them when they were 48-34 team) Celtics and Showtime Lakers were gone before his rise
Me too LOL.. Now what? What am I going to Watch on Sunday Night? God I Miss Sports..

What a series that would have been
I do not disagree with any of y'all on Hakeem's greatness. Guy was an absolute beast. Best footwork downlow I have ever seen next to Mchale. But if all that stuff you say about Barkely/Malone/Stockton, etc is true then why do you suppose Hakeem didn't get to the Finals in any of those other years? How come we never got that dream matchup, pun intended?
Honestly, I think the Bulls beat Houston in a series. That team was Hakeem and a bunch of shooters. Very similar to the Spurs of 99-02 and we saw how Phil played them in LA. Guarded Tim straight up through 3 quarters so the Spurs shooters had no rhythm...then bring some hard doubles in the 4th from time to time to fluster them. He rolls out a lineup of C-Rodman PF-Kukoc SF- Pippen SG- Jordan PG- Harper. Hakeem gets 40 and his shooters don't get lol. Bulls may have to take them 7 as you are right, those bigger teams seemed to give Chicago problems.
I think their is another putrid h-o-r-s-e tournament on the horizon
Phil didn't start dating Jeanie Buss til 1999 but I wonder if he already had his eye on the Lakers job
Jordan probably should have given up his "only play for Phil" demand and instead worked with Krause to bring someone in other than Tim Floyd.
The players still wanted to dance but management and coaches seemed to all want to move on to the next challenge. Unlike players and their short window of opportunity, management/coaches has a more big picture and long term viewpoint.
Sometimes, I think it comes down to luck. Hakeem was better player in 92-93 season than in 94-95, but in 93 in game 7 iirc Scottie Brooks missed potential series-winning buzzer beater in the 4th. Then in OT refs made couple of mistakes in Seattle's favor and another teammate missed another series winner. Then look at ending of game 7 in 95 against Suns. KJ missed crucial free-throw, Mario Elie drained 3-pointer, Danny Ainge made free-throw he tried to intentionally miss and etc.
And Hakeem had weird career. He had epic span from 1993-1995 when he peaked. He wasn't as great prior and after that. After 1995 his athleticism declined. Before 1993 his game wasn't polished enough
"You , You"
There is still so much I want to see
They left out
- Alonzo's elbow on Pippen in 1997 ECF
- Pippen to Malone "Mailman doesn't deliver on Sundays"
- Rodman marrying himself
- Kukoc break out in Game7 of 1998 ECF
- Pippen actually bricked game winner in OT of Game1 of 1998 Finals
- Bison Dele brought in
Off the top of my head.

lets go ahead and add bird, magic, dumars, isaiah, mchale, parish, kareem, worthy, dennis johnson, rodman, to MJs list of people who won in his era
perhaps we could also add shaq, kobe, timmy, robinson to MJs list as well, but he retired prematurely to get worked by them

BTW, calling it the Lebron Era when Duncan has more rings.

Yet everybody and they mama got a turn to ring in LeBron’s Era. LeBron locked down the East. I locked down the NBA.
