Someone should have explained the concept of load management to Mike Jordan.

The documentary isn't really random at all.
It's building the pieces and the background to what made the 1998 Championship so special. Michael Jordan's unwillingness to quit when he was clearly injured in his last season. What drove Scottie Pippen. What drove the tension between the team. What drove the team to succeed in spite of Jerry West.
It's actually organized as hell, I'm impressed.

This dude couldn't win without Pippen lol.

Yes and they were 9-9 with MJ that year including the minutes restriction of 7 minutes a half.

He didn't bring America bronze medals in basketball nor did he have to go to a team with a guy who won as a the man in order to win.

Doesn't MJ have like 20 documentaries already? How much more can these things reveal really...Now the D.Rose documentary i've heard is **** amazing.
Kind of like all the Ali documentaries...They should have stopped after ''Facing Ali''. But they kept going.
With Ali you could atleast make a documentary about Him and Fraziers relationship...That would be amazing to watch considering Frazier helped him and Ali thanked him by mocking him in front of the world.

They really sensationalized that. I was curious so I went back and looked at the game logs; he played 14 minutes or fewer in exactly two of those games. In the Indiana game they highlighted, he played 28.

My thoughts exactly. It was funny watching MJ introduce himself though. The doc isn’t really giving insight into much that hasn’t been covered in depth.

Something doesn't add up here. Was it 7 minutes per half like the documentary said? Or 7 minutes per quarter? Because according to the BBR boxscore, he played 28 minutes in that Pacers game.
