The last dance

First two are excellent.


Great insight to what went on.



Jordan is the GOAT but doesn't he know it 

Yes. He. Does.

Loved the first two episodes. Looking forward to the next installments.

Yes, superb stuff. Great to see the early footage from college and joining the NBA. Made his mark by game 3, classic.

He does know he's the GOAT but I don't think he's ever actually come out and said it? Not like Muhammad Ali anyway! Must be hard not to be at least a bit arrogant when you've been as successful as that I guess. The fact he's still the highest paid athlete from endorsements, merch, etc each year so long after his retirement is telling.

It was interesting to see all that stuff about Pippen too, I didn't know he'd held out on his surgery because of issues with management. I also cant understand why Jerry Krause was so determined to blow it all up - that didn't exactly go too well for him did it, the Bulls were an absolute joke for years after the dynasty and haven't really ever done much since. I also was shocked to see Pip was only the 122nd highest paid player in the league! He is often forgotten but I remember discussing who the new best player in the league was after Jordan retired, and it was a group of guys who you could make the case for - Malone, Olajuwon, Shaq, Hill - and Pippen was in the mix too. Definitely top 10 at least for most of his career.

And I think that was backed up in 1994 when without Jordan, the Bulls were still a very good team and had a playoff run, with Pippen leading them. Obviously you can't lose Jordan and not experience a negative impact but they were still a really good team. Whereas look at the Cavs the moment LeBron left because they didn't have an elite 2nd guy (Kevin Love nowhere near that level). I guess they did lose Kyrie too but actually you could also say the first time LeBron left, the Cavs went to hell for 4 years as they had no one else.

Still loving this series, it's really informative as well as nostalgic. What I'm interested in is the view of young people who didn't see MJ play and maybe hadn't seen much footage of him before this. What's their opinion on the game, the typically low scores, the physicality. And what's their opinion on mj himself, how he compares with lebron.

Personally I see all these highlights combined with the absolute determination to win at all cost, I just can't make a case to say LeBron is at his level. Sometimes over the years I've definitely thought perhaps what LeBron was doing on the court was eclipsing Jordan but all these highlights are saying to me no, for all his greatness LeBron isn't quite there. And he's got to be the nearest we've seen since MJ retired, surely.

I think it’s a case of Lebron is probably more talented than MJ but he is not a better player.

The drive, intensity and clutch makes MJ the GOAT. Plus being probably the second most talented player ever after Lebron.

The last dance is just exposing Jordan to be a selfish person who didnt care about anyone. His whole Republican buy sneakers too comment is incredibly offensive. The issue is the MJ fan boys that 80% havent watched a game since 1998 anyway just see him as untouchable so it's pointless debating with them.

End of the day Lebron is a far superior basketball player than MJ. There is no debate on it. The issue is MJ knew how to win and was a far greater winner than him. We judge of wins not on talent, a bit like the MVP is very rarely the most valuable player, more the superstar who needs to have it to push their agenda. The fact that Lebron once averaged a 40 point triple double in the finals and they gave the MVP to guy who was guarding him says it all.

The G.O.A.T is Magic tho

If you've only disagreed with me once I'm shocked, I talk a lot of **** ha ha. I didnt mean necessarily team mates, not going up against the man who wants to re segregate schools in your home county tho because he may buy your shoes is a big no no for me.

The whole the league was tougher back then doesnt wash either, it was less skilled and some hard fouls were not called correctly sure but it goes down to the age old myth that times always get easier, they dont, they're just different. If you've got a spare 20 mins heres a great video about all those horrific fouls called in jordans favour against the bad boy pistols on the conference finals

Jxmy really does make some impressive nba videos

I also disagree and not for fanboy nostalgia, as I said if anything this has reminded me just how great he really was. Obviously talking about who is better, depends what your measuring stick is. If it's rings, MVPs or finals record then it's Mike. If it's PPG and defensive recognition, it's Mike. If it's being responsible for growing the game as a global sport with mass interest, it's Mike. If it's clutch, determination and driving the very best out of team mates, it's Mike. If it's conference championships, it's LeBron (but even then you look at how weak the east has been most of his career).

The era is different but isn't it more impressive that a guy averaged 35ppg in an era where teams were winning games by scoring 85 points? The pace is quicker now so there are more shots, more scoring opportunities. Do you think Harden could go off like he does now in the 90s? I doubt it. He'd probably average 22-25 a game. So it's fair to assume if MJ played today he could be averaging 40+.

I agree LeBron should have won more than 4 MVPs, but I also think Mike should have won more than 5.
