NBA season 2019/20

Loving the last dance so far I think mainly because I usually play ball 2-3 times a week and that's not happening right now so its a bit of a fix.
I finished reading Tim Grovers book earlier this year he was Kobe/MJ's/Dwades and a few others trainer. Awesome insight into their mindsets.
I tend to like a ESPN 30 for 30 doco as they are often stuff I don't know lots about. The Rodman one is a bigger insight into him than in the last dance, fab five, bad boys, dream team etc. Some of these episodes I feel like I have already seen but still enjoy. The doco's particualrly all the college stuff which for the majority of us we didn't get to follow growing up.

I've been moving through these, just picking and choosing something that looks interesting.

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.
The Last Dance finale: Episodes 9 and 10 start time, schedule, how to watch without cable
The epic Michael Jordan documentary concludes this Sunday with the last two episodes.

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).

From the archives: The true story behind Michael Jordan's brief-but-promising baseball career
Nowadays, fans look upon Michael Jordan's foray into another sport 26 years ago as a whim and conclude that his baseball career was a bust. They could not be more wrong.

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...

@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.
