I'd rather seen them do a complete docuseries on the entire dynasty instead of one championship run. I will watch, and enjoy, but I'd rather see a Bird/Magic, Dream Team, Lakers vs Celtics type of documentary done on them.

Jordan is participating fully. Pretty clear he feels his legacy is being threatened by LeBron.

Aside from Drake being on it, it was fantastic.

So are ESPN & Netflix working together on this one? I find that a bit interesting with ESPN recently launching ESPN+

I actually liked that part of it.

VC made Toronto Cool... and Drake basically kept that going when he left.

Jordan is so competitive that this is a reasonable take.

Unless I misunderstood, they're going to talk about all of it. For example, the trailer talks about Jordan's tears after the first championship.

Yeah. 10 parts should be able to hopefully have some of the pop culture during the same years.

They better seriously expand the stuff on here. I had the free trial, and wrapped up all the 30 for 30's that I hadn't seen. They don't really have all that much content on there to be honest. They need to have all the SEC storied etc.

Golic and Wingo said it will likely do the opposite, and I agree


Their point was MJ has become a mythical Unicorn and alot of his feats and stories embellished. They said if done right, this docuseries can show alot of people yes he was great and likely the best ever, but it isnt some romanticized untouchable being that people have created
