Not easy to buy good suits when you’re that tall, especially in the 90s.

Agree about the greatness. Jordan was one of the most famous people on the planet in the 90s without question.

Not think he'd just get a tailored suit?
His height shouldn't come into it. Must just be the style he was going for

Documentary about Michael Jordan and behind the scenes of the Chicago Bulls 97/98 season, Jordan's final season.
2 episodes available so far, first one goes back to the days when jordan was in college and cuts back and forward from the early 80s to 1997.
Second one looks at Scottie Pippen's early life and his rise to stardom and how he was 2nd best player in NBA but 122nd highest paid.
Gives a look at the power struggles within the organisation.

They all look dreadful in the suits. Maybe it’s just the 90s (lack of) style.

The suits they wore were rubbish. Jordan looked bad, but Pippen looked even worse. Like someone said earlier, they are only 6ft 5 or 6. Same height as me so shouldnt have been an issue. The loose baggy style just looks ridiculous and hasnt aged well at all.
 
I though I knew a but about Steve Kerr but I didn't know his family story. He's racked up some achievements in his professional life and comes across as a really nice bloke. Must have been hard work integrating into Jordan's world.

ive enjoyed reading up on all the rest of the squad. Some great achievements and they’ve earned some serious cash in the business. I really like Steve Kerr, seems a top bloke and he’s become a top coach which I was really pleased to read. Liked the way he stood up to MJ when MJ was clearly out of order with his teammates

And white socks with smart shoes was never going to work !!
 
Played basketball at school around the time of the Bulls dominance (we dominated Sunderland schools in a similar way) and loved the programme.Forgot how many of the players names,teams and positions I remembered.

I had a Pippen 33 Bulls top and Barkey 34 Suns one.
 
Just finished 9 but can’t bare to watch 10 as I’ll be gutted when it’s over. Another superb episode. The Scott Kerr bit was really moving. Also the pizza !!! MJ just did what we wanted when he wanted !

Hands down Best sports documentary ive ever Seen.
 
Watching episode 10 at the moment. Even by Rodman’s standards bizarre that he would fly off between games in a championship series to indulge in wrestling tomfoolery with Hulk Hogan 😳

I presume it’s an American thing but the NBA players get away with murder compared to say here. I’ve watched all 10 episodes ( best sports doc I’ve seen ) and you’ve had Rodman fuck off to Vegas / wrestling, Jordan in casinos till after midnight night before game and also getting dodgy pizza deliveries night before massive games. They get away with murder !! Never get away with that in football.

EDIT. that’s before the hundreds of cigars he gets through !

Really enjoyed the whole thing. No wonder the bulls have not done much since when you dismantle a team that quickly.

ive no idea about the politics, workings of NBA teams but I’ll never understand why you would just dismantle that team !?

I don't see an issue getting home at 1 if your game isn't until 7 the next day like. As long as you're not getting pissed of course.
They realised too late that they'd ballsed it up. But the only way to keep everyone would be if they agreed to no extra pay as they'd be at the limit already. They also needed to be able to trade Pippen for draft picks or they'd be in the basement for ages, which is what happened anyway.

I think with an extra year they could've swept every round of the playoffs. That jazz shutdown was unreal. Jordan came back again a couple years later playing with lemons and was still impressive despite being injured. He definitely had another year at the top level in him.

interesting about trades for drafting players. Never knew that. I really like the draft system ( granted limited knowledge.)

You say though you don’t have an issue with getting in at 1am before a 7pm game, imagine though that was this country and your team was playing night match and it turns out your star player had been out night before, there’d be hell on man !!
