Michael Jordan
has said it many times.

00:00:31,616 --> 00:00:35,411
He considers Madison square garden
to be the mecca of basketball.

00:00:46,756 --> 00:00:48,966
Michael Jordan is playing his last year

that Phil Jackson
would not return next year

00:00:55,264 --> 00:00:57,642
and said if ll/lichae/ chooses to Lea ve
13
00:00:57,725 --> 00:01:00,102
because there is another coach,
then it's his choice.
14
00:01:00,186 --> 00:01:01,896
- Boy, hey!
- What's up, man?
15
00:01:01,979 --> 00:01:04,607
Hey, your feet look good.
16
00:01:04,690 --> 00:01:07,818
Kobe Bryant meanwhile,
the youngesta/i-star in history,
17
00:01:07,902 --> 00:01:09,737
at 79 years, five months.
18
00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:11,215
I've been talking to him.
19
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:12,841
It's the same thing.
He's a 79— year-old kid.
20
00:01:12,865 --> 00:01:13,908
You know what they said,
21
00:01:13,991 --> 00:01:16,285
”Kobe, get ready to be the man
at the all-star game.
22
00:01:16,369 --> 00:01:18,537
You can't forget the king
is still on the court. ”

Yes. Right there.

Shots out there.

00:01:46,732 --> 00:01:48,460
If you get in the middle,
you don't have anything,
33
00:01:48,484 --> 00:01:49,860
kick it out, make that extra pass.
34
00:01:49,944 --> 00:01:52,071
Somebody should be wide open
for a three, okay?
35
00:01:52,738 --> 00:01:54,532
While we're here, we might as well win.
36
00:01:54,615 --> 00:01:55,866
That's right.
37
00:01:59,495 --> 00:02:00,579
I know, right?

00:02:04,917 --> 00:02:06,561
Uh-huh.
39
00:02:06,585 --> 00:02:08,796
He's gonna take people,
make his game.
40
00:02:11,048 --> 00:02:12,048
Yeah.
41
00:02:15,428 --> 00:02:16,863
- What?
- Shit!
42
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:48,794
What's happening?
How you been doing, man?
43
00:02:48,878 --> 00:02:50,504
Damn!
44
00:02:50,588 --> 00:02:52,548
- Hey, Michael?
- I'm loving it though.
45
00:02:52,631 --> 00:02:54,633
Would you like to have
some of his ass today?
46
00:03:02,308 --> 00:03:04,852
Just about t/p-off time
at Madison square garden
47
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:07,355
for the 48th NBA all-star game.
48
00:03:07,438 --> 00:03:10,149
And there you see Kobe Bryant
in the foreground,
49
00:03:10,232 --> 00:03:12,401
the man many ha ve dubbed
the next Michael Jordan.
50
00:03:12,985 --> 00:03:14,236
I got Mike. I got Mike.
51
00:03:14,653 --> 00:03:16,489
- Here is Michael -Aah!
52
00:03:17,531 --> 00:03:19,617
Count it,
plus the foul for Jordan!
53
00:03:22,953 --> 00:03:25,498
I grew up watching Michael on TV,
54
00:03:25,581 --> 00:03:27,958
and now you got a chance
to go face-to-face with him.
55
00:03:28,042 --> 00:03:31,087
You get a chance to really see
and, like, touch and feel
56
00:03:31,754 --> 00:03:34,173
strength, speed, quickness.
57
00:03:34,757 --> 00:03:36,092
And, um...
58
00:03:36,175 --> 00:03:37,927
It was fun to be out there.
59
00:03:38,010 --> 00:03:40,221
He's got the ball
in his hands again.
60
00:03:40,304 --> 00:03:41,764
7'o garnett. Back to k obe/
61
00:03:41,847 --> 00:03:44,892
Oh!
62
00:03:47,686 --> 00:03:48,687
Yeah.
63
00:03:49,146 --> 00:03:50,898
We got to get back.
64
00:03:52,316 --> 00:03:53,316
Hey, hey.
65
00:03:57,571 --> 00:03:59,865
It was a rough couple years for me
coming into the league.
66
00:03:59,949 --> 00:04:02,803
At the time, the league was so much
older. It's not as young as it is today,
67
00:04:02,827 --> 00:04:06,038
so nobody was really thinking
much of me.
68
00:04:06,122 --> 00:04:09,625
I was a kid that shot a bunch
of air balls. You know what I mean?
69
00:04:10,209 --> 00:04:14,213
And at that point, Michael
provided a lot of guidance for me.
70
00:04:14,296 --> 00:04:16,966
Like, I had a question
about shooting this turnaround shot,
71
00:04:17,049 --> 00:04:18,634
so I asked him about it,
72
00:04:18,717 --> 00:04:21,804
and, you know,
he gave me a great, detailed answer.
73
00:04:21,887 --> 00:04:23,264
But on top of that, he said,
74
00:04:23,347 --> 00:04:25,766
"if you ever need anything,
give me a call."
75
00:04:26,434 --> 00:04:27,852
He's like my big brother.
76
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,065
You know,
I truly hate having discussions
77
00:04:33,149 --> 00:04:37,319
about who would win one-on-one,
and your fans saying,
78
00:04:37,403 --> 00:04:39,238
"hey, Kobe,
you'd beat Michael one-on-one."
79
00:04:39,321 --> 00:04:40,948
I feel like, "yo,
80
00:04:41,031 --> 00:04:43,659
what you get from me is from him.
81
00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:48,330
I don't get five championships here
without him,
82
00:04:48,414 --> 00:04:51,917
'cause he guided me so much
and gave me so much great advice."
83
00:04:52,001 --> 00:04:53,603
Kobe had challenged Michael.
84
00:04:53,627 --> 00:04:56,797
Michael comes out and he's saying,
”not ton/ght, young fella.
85
00:04:56,881 --> 00:05:00,134
Uh-uh, Kobe. I got some more tricks
left in my bag. ”
86
00:05:00,217 --> 00:05:03,012
He's not ready to leave yet, folks.
87
00:05:03,596 --> 00:05:04,805
Greatjob, guys.
88
00:05:04,889 --> 00:05:06,098
Way to go, boy.
89
00:05:06,849 --> 00:05:08,684
You know it. You know it.
90
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:11,979
- Cool.
- Congratulations, Mike.
91
00:05:17,485 --> 00:05:18,819
Ah! Ain't that something?
92
00:05:18,903 --> 00:05:21,030
- Big daddy!
- All right. See ya.
93
00:05:21,113 --> 00:05:23,657
I'm only going to allow him
to have his trophy
94
00:05:23,741 --> 00:05:26,660
if he promises to come back
and do it again.
95
00:05:28,704 --> 00:05:31,624
The all-star of all-stars,
96
00:05:31,707 --> 00:05:35,503
the mvp, Michael Jordan.
97
00:05:35,586 --> 00:05:38,172
If there was ever any doubt
that he could've kept playing
98
00:05:38,255 --> 00:05:40,758
at an mvp and championship level,
99
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:43,010
here's the all-star game. He's the mvp.
100
00:05:44,053 --> 00:05:46,555
He's still the star among stars.
101
00:05:47,598 --> 00:05:50,142
Even though there were
explanations offered,
102
00:05:50,226 --> 00:05:53,562
people couldn't understand
why he was going to step away.
103
00:05:53,646 --> 00:05:55,397
The public wanted him to keep going.
104
00:05:58,192 --> 00:05:59,693
A spectacular move/
105
00:05:59,777 --> 00:06:01,362
Oh/ the game's over/
106
00:06:01,445 --> 00:06:03,697
Chicago stadium is going wild
107
00:06:05,741 --> 00:06:07,844
First of all,
there's no backstabbing going on here.
108
00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:09,662
It is time for me to move on.
109
00:06:09,745 --> 00:06:12,305
This will be Phil's last year
as the coach of the bulls.
110
00:06:13,832 --> 00:06:15,793
Are the expectations
way too h/gh .7
111
00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:16,794
Where do we go from here?
112
00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:19,380
The only question:
How long can it last?
113
00:06:37,273 --> 00:06:39,650
Knowing this is the last dance,
114
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:42,319
unless something actually changes,
115
00:06:42,403 --> 00:06:44,697
going into Madison square garden,
116
00:06:44,780 --> 00:06:47,074
this is the last time
I'm going to be playing here,
117
00:06:47,616 --> 00:06:49,577
and that was my favorite place to play.
118
00:06:53,372 --> 00:06:56,375
Went back and grabbed
the old pair of Jordan 1s.
119
00:06:57,042 --> 00:06:59,295
It's the first shoe I wore
in the garden,
120
00:06:59,378 --> 00:07:01,714
so this is going to be the last shoe,
121
00:07:01,797 --> 00:07:03,692
being that this was gonna be
the last time I play in the garden.
122
00:07:03,716 --> 00:07:05,801
-J“ gan / kick it?!“
-J“ yes, you can j“
123
00:07:05,884 --> 00:07:08,262
-j“ gan / kick it?!“
-J“ yes, you can j“
124
00:07:08,345 --> 00:07:10,639
-j“ gan / kick it?!“
-J“ yes, you can j“
125
00:07:10,723 --> 00:07:11,974
j“ well, I'm gone j“
126
00:07:12,057 --> 00:07:13,225
j“ go on then j“
127
00:07:13,309 --> 00:07:14,435
j“ can lkick it? J“
128
00:07:14,518 --> 00:07:16,604
j“ to my tribe
that flows in layers j“
129
00:07:21,191 --> 00:07:23,360
Come on, man.
Toni, you were nowhere around.
130
00:07:23,444 --> 00:07:25,195
You was a baby when I broke these out.
131
00:07:25,904 --> 00:07:27,823
'84. How old were you?
132
00:07:28,449 --> 00:07:29,658
You were 12 years old.
133
00:07:30,576 --> 00:07:31,856
Tony was still in diapers.
134
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,649
I first met Michael Jordan in 1984.
135
00:08:01,732 --> 00:08:03,233
I actually went to north Carolina
136
00:08:03,317 --> 00:08:05,653
to interview Michael and his family
to represent him.
137
00:08:07,488 --> 00:08:09,031
His parents asked great questions.
138
00:08:09,114 --> 00:08:11,950
They were very intelligent,
extremely personable.
139
00:08:12,951 --> 00:08:16,872
Ourfirm, proserv, had a lot
of very high-profile tennis clients,
140
00:08:16,955 --> 00:08:18,457
like Jimmy Connors, Stan Smith,
141
00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:19,667
and Arthur ashe.
142
00:08:19,750 --> 00:08:21,335
Arthur ashe had his own shoes.
143
00:08:21,418 --> 00:08:22,878
He had his own tennis racket.
144
00:08:22,961 --> 00:08:25,130
This is the racket I won wimbledon with,
145
00:08:25,214 --> 00:08:27,675
and you could have bought it. Really.
146
00:08:27,758 --> 00:08:31,762
The strategy was to try to take
a team-sport player,
147
00:08:31,845 --> 00:08:33,305
and treat him more like a golfer
148
00:08:33,389 --> 00:08:35,891
or a boxer or a tennis player.
149
00:08:35,974 --> 00:08:38,185
I said to David,
"what are you trying to do?
150
00:08:38,268 --> 00:08:40,854
You're trying to turn this guy
into a tennis player?
151
00:08:40,938 --> 00:08:44,149
He's a basketball player.
He's not a tennis player."
152
00:08:44,233 --> 00:08:46,527
I said,
"that's exactly what I'm trying to do."
153
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:49,196
And the very first deal was shoes.
154
00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:51,657
We took him out to meet converse,
155
00:08:51,740 --> 00:08:54,451
which, at that time,
was the official shoe of the NBA.
156
00:08:54,535 --> 00:08:56,578
J“ the con verse I/I/eapon
that's the shoe j“
157
00:08:56,662 --> 00:08:58,956
j“ lets magic do
what he was born to do j“
158
00:08:59,498 --> 00:09:03,293
They have magic Johnson,
Dr. J, Bernard king, Larry bird.
159
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:05,057
J“ you already know
what they did for me j“
160
00:09:06,004 --> 00:09:07,673
J“ / walked away with the mvp j“
161
00:09:07,756 --> 00:09:11,051
7'he converse I/I/eapon.
The number-one weapon in the NBA.
162
00:09:11,135 --> 00:09:13,095
Converse had big players,
163
00:09:13,178 --> 00:09:17,516
and told me, "we cannot envision
you being put ahead of them."
164
00:09:18,308 --> 00:09:19,476
Okay. Fine.
165
00:09:22,229 --> 00:09:23,397
I was Adidas.
166
00:09:24,148 --> 00:09:27,609
I like the Lakers
and I like marques Johnson.
167
00:09:27,693 --> 00:09:30,863
And I like Adidas.
I like the Adidas shoe, you know?
168
00:09:30,946 --> 00:09:34,241
Adidas was really dysfunctional
by that time,
169
00:09:34,324 --> 00:09:35,534
and they had just told me,
170
00:09:35,617 --> 00:09:39,163
"we'd love to have Jordan. We just can't
make a shoe work at this point in time."
171
00:09:40,247 --> 00:09:43,959
I wanted Michael to go with Nike
because they were the upstart.
172
00:09:44,042 --> 00:09:47,254
In the early '80s, Nike was,
for the most part,
173
00:09:47,337 --> 00:09:49,506
a track-shoe company.
174
00:09:50,424 --> 00:09:53,510
Michael didn't even want to be at Nike.
175
00:09:54,386 --> 00:09:56,531
I couldn't even get him
to get on the damn plane
176
00:09:56,555 --> 00:09:57,890
and go visit the campus,
177
00:09:58,432 --> 00:09:59,933
so I called his parents.
178
00:10:00,017 --> 00:10:01,911
And my mother said,
"you're going to go listen.
179
00:10:01,935 --> 00:10:04,062
You may not like it,
but you're going to go listen."
180
00:10:04,146 --> 00:10:06,857
"Mom, I don't want to hear it.
I know what I want to do.
181
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:08,817
I am not going to Nike, mom."
182
00:10:08,901 --> 00:10:12,696
I say, "Michael,
you have to give them an opportunity."
183
00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:14,823
And she made me get on that plane
and go listen.
184
00:10:16,241 --> 00:10:17,576
Go into that meeting.
185
00:10:17,659 --> 00:10:19,828
I'm not wanting to be there.
186
00:10:19,912 --> 00:10:22,623
Nike made this big pitch,
and my father said,
187
00:10:22,706 --> 00:10:25,506
"you got to be a fool for not taking
this deal. This is the best deal."
188
00:10:26,668 --> 00:10:27,836
Back then,
189
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,966
the best guys might have gotten, like,
$100,000 or so,
190
00:10:33,050 --> 00:10:35,719
and he got probably 250.
191
00:10:35,803 --> 00:10:39,598
It was like, "you will pay him what?
192
00:10:39,681 --> 00:10:42,184
A young rookie
193
00:10:42,267 --> 00:10:44,394
that's done nothing?
194
00:10:44,478 --> 00:10:46,188
You must be out of your mind."
195
00:10:48,315 --> 00:10:51,109
When I negotiated the Nike deal,
I said to them,
196
00:10:51,193 --> 00:10:54,112
"you're a small company,
and if you want Michael Jordan,
197
00:10:54,196 --> 00:10:56,156
he's got to have his own shoe line."
198
00:10:56,782 --> 00:11:00,369
Nike just come out with this
new technology for their running shoes
199
00:11:00,452 --> 00:11:03,747
called air soles, and, obviously,
Michael played in the air.
200
00:11:03,831 --> 00:11:06,059
I said, "okay, I got it.
We're going to call it air Jordan."
201
00:11:06,083 --> 00:11:08,335
"Air Jordan"?
202
00:11:08,418 --> 00:11:10,629
That's got a pretty good ring to it.
203
00:11:10,712 --> 00:11:12,631
J“ I'm your idol
the h/ghest title j“
204
00:11:12,714 --> 00:11:13,714
j“ numero uno j“
205
00:11:14,258 --> 00:11:16,969
Nike's expectation
when we signed the deal
206
00:11:17,052 --> 00:11:18,846
was at the end of year four,
207
00:11:18,929 --> 00:11:22,599
they hoped to sell
$3 million worth of air Jordans.
208
00:11:22,683 --> 00:11:25,269
In year one, we sold $126 million.
209
00:11:25,352 --> 00:11:27,187
J“ / get paid
when my record is played j“
210
00:11:27,271 --> 00:11:28,730
j“ to put it short j“
211
00:11:28,814 --> 00:11:31,650
j“ / got it made j“
212
00:11:35,028 --> 00:11:36,196
As a commodity,
213
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,116
Michael Jordan is as hot
as a cabbage patch doll right now.
214
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:41,368
The endorsements are fast and furious.
215
00:11:41,451 --> 00:11:43,745
The photo sessions seem endless.
216
00:11:43,829 --> 00:11:45,849
Like a politician,
Jordan moves gracefully
217
00:11:45,873 --> 00:11:47,040
through a crowd of admirers,
218
00:11:47,124 --> 00:11:50,168
s/pping orange juice,
collecting business cards.
219
00:11:50,252 --> 00:11:52,588
Deals have already been cut
with I/I/I/son sporting goods,
220
00:11:52,671 --> 00:11:53,714
McDonald's.
221
00:11:53,797 --> 00:11:54,798
J“ yo, / never lose j“
222
00:11:54,882 --> 00:11:56,425
j“ / never lost
'cause I'm the boss j“
223
00:11:56,508 --> 00:11:58,218
for a kid, it was almost like
224
00:11:58,302 --> 00:12:01,388
owning a iightsaber from star wars.
225
00:12:01,471 --> 00:12:04,308
You needed that shoe to be like him.
226
00:12:04,391 --> 00:12:06,143
It was more than a status symbol.
227
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:07,978
You knew this guy was the guy.
228
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:11,231
J“ yo, respect
'cause / got it made j“
229
00:12:11,315 --> 00:12:12,983
It came in different styles.
230
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:15,110
The other brands didn't change too much.
231
00:12:15,193 --> 00:12:16,403
Jordan changed with the time.
232
00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:20,115
Everybody was like,
"you got to get a pair of Jordans."
233
00:12:20,198 --> 00:12:23,493
And so every year,
we would save up money.
234
00:12:23,577 --> 00:12:26,997
I would cut grass and do chores
and save up money,
235
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,624
and wait in line at foot locker.
236
00:12:29,958 --> 00:12:31,585
Before Michael Jordan,
237
00:12:31,668 --> 00:12:33,754
sneakers were just for
playing basketball.
238
00:12:35,047 --> 00:12:39,635
And, all of a sudden,
sneakers became fashion and culture.
239
00:12:39,718 --> 00:12:41,720
My first film was called
she's gotta have it,
240
00:12:41,803 --> 00:12:44,014
and I played a character
named Mars blackmon.
241
00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:46,099
And I made sure that Mars
242
00:12:46,183 --> 00:12:47,535
would be wearing a pair of air Jordans
243
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,396
because Michael is the hero
of the youth today.
244
00:12:55,233 --> 00:12:58,070
You stepped on my brand-new
white air Jordans I just bought!
245
00:12:58,153 --> 00:12:59,821
- How much you pay for them?
- 100 bucks!
246
00:12:59,905 --> 00:13:01,823
- American dollars?
- 108 with tax!
247
00:13:01,907 --> 00:13:03,718
- I'd give him 100 headaches.
- Look at his feet!
248
00:13:03,742 --> 00:13:05,827
You know, the fact that Nike
used spike Lee
249
00:13:05,911 --> 00:13:09,081
to produce Jordan commercials
250
00:13:09,164 --> 00:13:11,458
suddenly brought urban culture
251
00:13:11,541 --> 00:13:13,585
and crossed it together with sports.
252
00:13:13,669 --> 00:13:14,503
Mark.
253
00:13:14,586 --> 00:13:17,839
Yo, Mars blackmon here
with my main man, Michael Jordan.
254
00:13:17,923 --> 00:13:20,509
Yo, Mike, what makes you
the best player in the universe?
255
00:13:20,592 --> 00:13:22,886
- Is it the vicious dunks?
- No, Mars.
256
00:13:22,970 --> 00:13:24,846
- Is it the haircut?
- No, Mars.
257
00:13:25,472 --> 00:13:27,307
- Is it the shoes?
- No, Mars.
258
00:13:27,391 --> 00:13:29,434
Money, it's got to be the shoes!
The shoes.
259
00:13:29,518 --> 00:13:30,602
Shoes. Shoes. Shoes. Shoes.
260
00:13:30,686 --> 00:13:32,854
- You sure it's not the shoes?
- I'm sure, Mars.
261
00:13:32,938 --> 00:13:34,481
Cut.
262
00:13:34,564 --> 00:13:36,608
My game
was my biggest endorsement.
263
00:13:36,692 --> 00:13:38,527
What I did on the basketball court...
264
00:13:38,610 --> 00:13:42,114
My dedication to the game
led to all this other stuff.
265
00:13:42,197 --> 00:13:45,659
Believe me, if I was averaging
two points, three rebounds,
266
00:13:45,742 --> 00:13:48,495
I wouldn't have signed anything
with anybody, you know,
267
00:13:48,578 --> 00:13:50,163
so my game did all my talking.
268
00:13:53,792 --> 00:13:55,961
We are back
at Madison square garden.
269
00:13:56,044 --> 00:13:58,547
Michael Jordan
wearing the or/gina/ air Jordans
270
00:13:58,630 --> 00:14:02,467
that he wore the first time he played
in Madison square garden back in 7984.
271
00:14:02,551 --> 00:14:05,178
And Michael
will get a standing ovation
272
00:14:05,262 --> 00:14:06,555
from the garden crowd here.
273
00:14:13,061 --> 00:14:16,398
Michael, two seconds
to shoot over Houston. Got it/
274
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:18,692
It must be the shoes.
275
00:14:20,193 --> 00:14:22,195
Michael hits again!
276
00:14:25,866 --> 00:14:28,466
This is beautiful
basketball that we 're watching.
277
00:14:31,246 --> 00:14:34,291
By halftime, my feet are bleeding.
278
00:14:34,374 --> 00:14:36,655
But I'm having a good game.
I don't want to take them off.
279
00:14:37,544 --> 00:14:40,630
Michael/ oh, my goodness/
280
00:14:40,714 --> 00:14:44,051
a number of the players and even
two of the officials are laughing.
281
00:14:44,134 --> 00:14:45,886
Michael Jordan now has 40 points.
282
00:14:47,095 --> 00:14:49,931
Only one guy has this le ve/ of artistry.
283
00:14:50,015 --> 00:14:52,559
Spinning in the Lane for the slam/
284
00:14:52,642 --> 00:14:55,145
and spike Lee is all over
Michael Jordan,
285
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:57,898
and Michael has a few words
by way of retort.
286
00:14:57,981 --> 00:15:00,817
He kept telling him
that he couldn't guard him.
287
00:15:00,901 --> 00:15:02,944
He said, ”you can't guard me.
You too little. ”
288
00:15:03,028 --> 00:15:05,197
Then he says,
”hey, you come out here. You come out. ”
289
00:15:10,285 --> 00:15:11,953
Michael with 42,
290
00:15:12,037 --> 00:15:15,123
and if this was Michael Jordan's
final game at Madison square garden,
291
00:15:15,207 --> 00:15:19,586
he leaves no doubt whatsoever
that he exits just as he entered:
292
00:15:19,669 --> 00:15:21,213
The best there is.
293
00:15:21,797 --> 00:15:25,175
I couldn't take those shoes off fast
enough, and when I took the shoes off,
294
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:27,469
my sock was soaked in blood.
295
00:15:28,595 --> 00:15:30,722
You know, it's kind of fun
to come back here and play
296
00:15:30,806 --> 00:15:33,266
and remember some of the old days
and some of the things that,
297
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:35,018
some of the games that I've had here,
298
00:15:35,102 --> 00:15:38,271
and the shoes are the part of that,
so, you know, my feet are killing me.
299
00:15:48,198 --> 00:15:50,534
Close that door!
Hey! Close that door!
300
00:15:55,247 --> 00:15:56,540
How you been doing?
301
00:15:56,957 --> 00:15:58,125
Take care, Mike.
302
00:16:17,435 --> 00:16:19,563
J“ here they come, yo
here they come j“
303
00:16:19,646 --> 00:16:22,149
Prior to the season of '92,
304
00:16:22,232 --> 00:16:25,819
the team talked about
the difficulty of repeating.
305
00:16:25,902 --> 00:16:28,113
And we had this statement,
"you're only a success
306
00:16:28,196 --> 00:16:30,574
at the moment you perform
a successful act.
307
00:16:30,657 --> 00:16:31,825
You have to do it again."
308
00:16:31,908 --> 00:16:34,202
J“ who's the black sheep?
What's the black sheep .7 j“
309
00:16:34,286 --> 00:16:36,913
j“ don't know who / am
or when I'm coming, so you sleep... j“
310
00:16:37,998 --> 00:16:43,170
Jordan with the block and
then the save, which was unbelie vab/e/
311
00:16:43,879 --> 00:16:46,548
j“ lfit's all fight with you
ill do this here one apart j“
312
00:16:47,299 --> 00:16:49,426
I've always thought that the '92 team
313
00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:51,219
was maybe the best bulls team ever.
314
00:16:51,303 --> 00:16:53,722
J“ you can get with this
or you can get with that j“
315
00:16:53,805 --> 00:16:56,057
j“ you can get with this
or you can get with that j“
316
00:16:56,141 --> 00:16:58,185
j“ you can get with this
or you can get with that j“
317
00:16:58,268 --> 00:17:00,580
j“ I think you'll go with this
'cause this is where it's at j“
318
00:17:00,604 --> 00:17:03,064
j“ you can get with this
or you can get with that j“
319
00:17:03,148 --> 00:17:04,524
j“ you can get with this... j“
320
00:17:04,608 --> 00:17:06,443
Starting with that season,
321
00:17:06,526 --> 00:17:09,070
I felt Michael Jordan
never played basketball anymore.
322
00:17:09,154 --> 00:17:10,989
He just figured out
how to win the game.
323
00:17:11,072 --> 00:17:13,950
He knew how to steer momentum.
324
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:17,621
He knew how to get guys going.
325
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:20,582
And not only was he that good
on the offensive end,
326
00:17:20,665 --> 00:17:23,126
he was just as good
on the defensive end.
327
00:17:23,210 --> 00:17:26,129
So he was just playing a different game
than the rest of us.
328
00:17:27,297 --> 00:17:30,967
He let us play,
but he was there to win the game.
329
00:17:31,635 --> 00:17:34,888
And he knew that,
and once he figured that out,
330
00:17:34,971 --> 00:17:36,139
you couldn't beat him.
331
00:17:37,474 --> 00:17:40,644
Good evening,
basketball fans, where ver you may be.
332
00:17:40,727 --> 00:17:45,815
Ton/ght begins the 7992 NBA finals.
333
00:17:46,775 --> 00:17:49,527
The Chicago Bulls,
the Portland trail blazers,
334
00:17:49,611 --> 00:17:52,906
the two best teams in the NBA,
go head-to-head.
335
00:17:52,989 --> 00:17:56,076
We have two great teams
led by two superstar players.
336
00:17:56,159 --> 00:17:59,788
All eyes will be focused on the matchup
of drex/er and Jordan.
337
00:17:59,871 --> 00:18:01,498
And when you look at these two players,
338
00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:03,792
there's not a whole lot of difference
between them.
339
00:18:03,875 --> 00:18:05,126
Both had outstanding seasons,
340
00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:07,796
seasons that statistically
mirrored each other.
341
00:18:07,879 --> 00:18:11,299
Clyde ”the glide” says,
”we 're the two best in the game,
342
00:18:11,383 --> 00:18:13,927
but I'm not getting
into a war of words with Mike. ”
343
00:18:14,010 --> 00:18:15,262
Clyde was a threat.
344
00:18:15,345 --> 00:18:17,430
You know, I'm not saying
he wasn't a threat,
345
00:18:17,514 --> 00:18:21,268
but me being compared to him,
I took offense to that.
346
00:18:21,351 --> 00:18:22,936
I'm working for nbc.
347
00:18:23,853 --> 00:18:25,855
I'm covering the finals.
348
00:18:25,939 --> 00:18:28,775
So, the night before game 1,
349
00:18:28,858 --> 00:18:31,945
we're at Michael's house playing cards,
and he said,
350
00:18:32,028 --> 00:18:33,947
"you know
what's going to happen tomorrow.
351
00:18:34,030 --> 00:18:35,615
I'm going to give it to this dude."
352
00:18:37,951 --> 00:18:39,703
And the matchup at the start,
353
00:18:39,786 --> 00:18:42,664
Michael Jordan facing Clyde drex/er.
354
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,626
Jordan from three-point land/
355
00:18:47,294 --> 00:18:48,545
so, he hit that first three.
356
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:51,589
- Here's p/ppen.
- And here come the second one.
357
00:18:51,673 --> 00:18:53,717
Another three/
358
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,800
the third one...
359
00:18:54,843 --> 00:18:57,304
Back to Jordan. For three/
360
00:18:57,387 --> 00:19:00,098
his fourth three-point field goal/
361
00:19:00,181 --> 00:19:03,143
Michael Jordan,
with four three-pointers in the half
362
00:19:03,226 --> 00:19:06,062
has tied the NBA finals record
363
00:19:06,146 --> 00:19:08,773
Michael didn't want anybody
364
00:19:08,857 --> 00:19:10,525
to have nothing over him.
365
00:19:10,608 --> 00:19:13,737
Jordan for three/ yes/
366
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:17,490
an NBA finals record,
367
00:19:17,574 --> 00:19:19,993
fl've three-pointers in a half/
368
00:19:20,076 --> 00:19:24,205
and every time he hit that three, he'd
glance over at me, at the nbc table.
369
00:19:24,289 --> 00:19:28,835
Here's Jordan again from downtown.
370
00:19:28,918 --> 00:19:34,132
Did you see that look?
Michael indicating he can't believe it/
371
00:19:35,550 --> 00:19:37,802
an NBA championsh/p record,
372
00:19:37,886 --> 00:19:41,473
35 points in the half
373
00:19:41,556 --> 00:19:43,475
and he was like,
374
00:19:43,558 --> 00:19:44,726
"I'm killin' this dude."
375
00:19:48,605 --> 00:19:50,774
Based on the way
I was playing at that time,
376
00:19:50,857 --> 00:19:52,609
it wasn't even close,
377
00:19:52,692 --> 00:19:54,861
so I attacked him every night.
378
00:19:58,615 --> 00:20:00,033
Here's Jordan.
379
00:20:04,621 --> 00:20:06,623
Jordan! Yes/
380
00:20:06,706 --> 00:20:08,416
five seconds.
381
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:10,168
Wide open.
382
00:20:11,961 --> 00:20:15,465
Oh, what a bomb by Jordan.
383
00:20:15,548 --> 00:20:16,800
Amazing!
384
00:20:19,219 --> 00:20:20,553
Here's Jordan.
385
00:20:22,847 --> 00:20:25,475
Four-point Chicago lead
386
00:20:25,558 --> 00:20:28,812
drex/er thought they m/ght ha ve
a time-out remaining.
387
00:20:36,778 --> 00:20:40,990
The Chicago Bulls have won
the NBA championsh/p
388
00:20:41,074 --> 00:20:43,743
for the second stra/ght season!
389
00:20:49,249 --> 00:20:51,835
One is great. Two is almost impossible.
390
00:20:51,918 --> 00:20:54,129
Congratulations, Chicago.
391
00:20:54,212 --> 00:20:56,172
This is the happiest moment.
392
00:20:56,965 --> 00:20:59,092
Oh, it feels so good!
393
00:21:01,261 --> 00:21:04,848
The one thing I would say, and I'd
say it from Jerry reinsdorf on down,
394
00:21:04,931 --> 00:21:06,933
this is a great organization.
395
00:21:07,016 --> 00:21:09,936
This organization is special,
from Jerry...
396
00:21:10,019 --> 00:21:12,814
It starts with Jerry, and it goes down
all the way to Joe Lee,
397
00:21:12,897 --> 00:21:14,941
our clubhouse guy
who's been here 25 years.
398
00:21:15,024 --> 00:21:17,694
It's an organization thing,
and that's what it's all about.
399
00:21:17,777 --> 00:21:19,821
The team is a great team,
but the organization
400
00:21:19,904 --> 00:21:22,782
is one of the all-time great,
if not the greatest organization ever.
401
00:21:22,866 --> 00:21:24,826
That's what I'm so much proud of.
402
00:21:27,954 --> 00:21:29,038
Yeah!
403
00:21:34,961 --> 00:21:37,464
Coming off his second championship,
404
00:21:37,547 --> 00:21:39,966
second finals mvp,
405
00:21:40,049 --> 00:21:44,053
second mvp season,
Michael was the king of the world,
406
00:21:44,137 --> 00:21:47,640
and it was the first year
that we were trying
407
00:21:47,724 --> 00:21:50,226
to get the pros into the Olympics.
408
00:21:53,062 --> 00:21:54,564
Uh... in a week.
409
00:21:56,191 --> 00:21:57,192
Yeah.
410
00:22:00,403 --> 00:22:02,572
- Hey, Phil!
- I'm in charge of it tonight.
411
00:22:02,655 --> 00:22:04,550
- He knows the neighborhood?
- Phil!
412
00:22:04,574 --> 00:22:06,242
I tell you, the Olympics...
413
00:22:23,968 --> 00:22:27,430
With the United States basketball
taking a beating in international play,
414
00:22:27,514 --> 00:22:30,141
the call went out for NBA help.
415
00:22:30,225 --> 00:22:31,226
The result?
416
00:22:31,309 --> 00:22:33,895
In 1992, for the first time,
417
00:22:33,978 --> 00:22:37,732
a team of mostly NBA players
will defend america's olympic pride.
418
00:22:41,528 --> 00:22:43,988
Before the '92 Olympics,
419
00:22:44,697 --> 00:22:46,616
rod Thorn calls me and says,
420
00:22:46,699 --> 00:22:49,077
"we would love for you
to be on the dream team.
421
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,162
I says “oh, who's all playing?"
422
00:22:51,996 --> 00:22:55,416
He says, "uh... what does that mean?"
I say, "who's all playing?"
423
00:22:56,292 --> 00:22:59,420
He says, "well, the guy you're talking
about or you're thinking about,
424
00:22:59,504 --> 00:23:01,130
he's not going to be playing."
425
00:23:05,927 --> 00:23:06,927
All right.
426
00:23:07,637 --> 00:23:09,430
No Isiah Thomas questions.
427
00:23:09,514 --> 00:23:10,390
Cool.
428
00:23:10,473 --> 00:23:12,100
Now, there has been speculation
429
00:23:12,183 --> 00:23:16,688
that your icy relationship
with Isiah Thomas
430
00:23:16,771 --> 00:23:19,983
is the reason that he was not selected.
431
00:23:20,066 --> 00:23:23,069
I respect Isiah Thomas' talent.
432
00:23:23,152 --> 00:23:26,489
To me, the best point guard
of all time is magic Johnson,
433
00:23:26,573 --> 00:23:28,658
and right behind him is Isiah Thomas.
434
00:23:29,492 --> 00:23:32,495
No matter how much I hate him,
you know, I respect his game.
435
00:23:32,579 --> 00:23:35,248
Now, it was insinuated
that I was asking about him,
436
00:23:35,331 --> 00:23:37,667
but I never threw his name in there.
437
00:23:38,918 --> 00:23:41,379
I don't know
what went into that process.
438
00:23:42,213 --> 00:23:45,508
I met the criteria to be selected...
439
00:23:46,509 --> 00:23:47,844
But I wasn't.
440
00:23:48,595 --> 00:23:51,764
The dream team, based on the environment
441
00:23:51,848 --> 00:23:54,559
and the camaraderie that happened
on that team...
442
00:23:55,727 --> 00:23:57,186
It was the best Harmony.
443
00:23:57,270 --> 00:24:00,857
Would Isiah have made
a different feeling on that team? Yes.
444
00:24:02,984 --> 00:24:05,629
- Magic Johnson angry.
- He's very upset.
445
00:24:05,653 --> 00:24:08,865
At that point,
magic and Isiah had had their thing.
446
00:24:08,948 --> 00:24:12,160
Bird and Isiah had their thing.
447
00:24:12,243 --> 00:24:13,578
And scottie.
448
00:24:13,661 --> 00:24:15,538
It was half the team.
449
00:24:15,622 --> 00:24:17,040
They did not want to play with him.
450
00:24:17,915 --> 00:24:19,834
Everybody puts it on Michael
451
00:24:19,917 --> 00:24:22,337
because we knew that dislike
was out in the open.
452
00:24:22,420 --> 00:24:26,007
They left the bench,
although there's 7.9 seconds remaining.
453
00:24:26,090 --> 00:24:27,842
7'he pistons just left.
454
00:24:27,925 --> 00:24:29,677
But there was a lot more to it
than that.
455
00:24:29,761 --> 00:24:34,390
You want to attribute it to me,
go ahead, be my guest, but it wasn't me.
456
00:24:35,099 --> 00:24:37,810
I/I/ith Jordan, p/ppen, magic,
and bird leading the way,
457
00:24:37,894 --> 00:24:41,022
this team is billed
as the greatest ever assembled
458
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:47,987
The practices and the camaraderie.
459
00:24:48,071 --> 00:24:50,239
You know,
a lot of the guys bonded together.
460
00:24:51,074 --> 00:24:53,284
J“ sometimes ldream j“
461
00:24:53,368 --> 00:24:54,869
j“ that he is me j“
462
00:24:55,411 --> 00:24:57,789
j“ I just want to be like Chuck
lmean, Mike j“
463
00:24:58,790 --> 00:25:00,500
Great.
464
00:25:00,917 --> 00:25:03,336
You can't get too close to Michael.
It's a foul.
465
00:25:10,259 --> 00:25:11,511
My goodness.
466
00:25:12,261 --> 00:25:14,263
I don't think you ever
fouled out of a game.
467
00:25:14,347 --> 00:25:15,848
When he ever foul out of a game?
468
00:25:15,932 --> 00:25:19,602
I'm the young guy
with the elder statesmen.
469
00:25:19,686 --> 00:25:20,603
That's right.
470
00:25:20,687 --> 00:25:22,438
They all have to listen to me.
471
00:25:22,522 --> 00:25:24,190
Whatever I say goes.
472
00:25:26,818 --> 00:25:29,821
Man,
I had some of my fondest memories
473
00:25:29,904 --> 00:25:31,656
just hanging out with Michael.
474
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:35,827
We played cards every night
against each other,
475
00:25:35,910 --> 00:25:38,037
and if I had the upper hand,
476
00:25:38,121 --> 00:25:39,956
he wanted to play another hour.
477
00:25:40,998 --> 00:25:42,250
Another hour.
478
00:25:42,333 --> 00:25:44,919
And then he never
wants to just beat you.
479
00:25:45,002 --> 00:25:48,423
He wants to put his foot
on your neck and just...
480
00:25:50,758 --> 00:25:52,802
I mean,
you're not satisfied with beating me?
481
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:55,304
You want to crush me too? "Yep."
482
00:25:55,388 --> 00:25:58,266
They had a practice game in monte Carlo,
483
00:25:59,142 --> 00:26:01,811
and magic and barkley's team
484
00:26:01,894 --> 00:26:05,231
got off to a big lead.
485
00:26:05,314 --> 00:26:07,233
Whoo! Yes!
486
00:26:07,817 --> 00:26:11,904
That was the greatest basketball,
I think, that we all were involved in.
487
00:26:12,572 --> 00:26:17,076
Great passing, great shooting,
great defense.
488
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,371
All NBA players going back and forth
at each other.
489
00:26:22,790 --> 00:26:25,251
There was real trash talking going on,
490
00:26:25,334 --> 00:26:27,754
particularly from Charles and magic
toward Michael.
491
00:26:27,837 --> 00:26:28,671
Don't be cheating on me!
492
00:26:28,755 --> 00:26:31,215
Magic always got under Michael's skin
for some reason.
493
00:26:37,180 --> 00:26:40,558
It's all right! That's all right!
Here we go!
494
00:26:47,732 --> 00:26:51,277
We're up about eight points,
I think it was, something like that,
495
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:52,737
and I went over and tapped him...
496
00:26:53,905 --> 00:26:57,074
And I said, "look, man.
If you don't turn into air Jordan,
497
00:26:57,158 --> 00:26:58,993
we going to blow you out."
498
00:26:59,619 --> 00:27:01,746
Man, what did I say that for?
499
00:27:01,829 --> 00:27:05,833
Michael proceeded to score
every time down the court.
500
00:27:05,917 --> 00:27:09,337
It was like, "okay, you want to know
who the guy is. Here is who the guy is."
501
00:27:09,420 --> 00:27:12,131
He broke the huddle, hit a three. Bam!
502
00:27:12,215 --> 00:27:14,801
Came back down, hit another three. Bam!
503
00:27:14,884 --> 00:27:18,763
Came through the middle
and just shook everybody. Bam!
504
00:27:22,225 --> 00:27:24,268
Yes! Yes!
505
00:27:24,352 --> 00:27:25,895
He drove to the basket,
506
00:27:25,978 --> 00:27:28,815
and the referee called a foul.
507
00:27:28,898 --> 00:27:32,527
And magic threw the ball
up to the top of the arena,
508
00:27:32,610 --> 00:27:34,904
and was screaming about,
509
00:27:34,987 --> 00:27:38,950
"just like the NBA! He gets every call!
It's the same thing over here!"
510
00:27:57,510 --> 00:27:59,053
Oh, no, no, no. Come on now.
511
00:28:00,096 --> 00:28:05,101
After the practice, they get
on the bus to go back to the hotel,
512
00:28:05,184 --> 00:28:09,772
and for a couple minutes,
there's, like, no talking.
513
00:28:09,856 --> 00:28:13,526
When we got on the bus,
it was... whew, man!
514
00:28:13,609 --> 00:28:17,530
And all of a sudden,
magic says to barkley,
515
00:28:17,613 --> 00:28:20,491
he said, "hey, Charles, I guess
we shouldn't have pissed the man off."
516
00:28:20,575 --> 00:28:24,245
And then everybody, "this is the
greatest practice ever. We love this."
517
00:28:24,871 --> 00:28:25,955
Ooh, la, la!
518
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:30,251
After that game,
everyone kind of acknowledged
519
00:28:30,334 --> 00:28:31,836
we were in a new era.
520
00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:35,673
Michael Jordan was the Alpha Alpha.
521
00:28:36,674 --> 00:28:37,717
Penod.
522
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:38,885
- Michael.
- Huh?
523
00:28:38,968 --> 00:28:42,054
Game on the line,
who would take the last shot?
524
00:28:44,348 --> 00:28:46,350
That's a dumb question. Me.
525
00:28:47,643 --> 00:28:50,062
But now a cavalry
rides to the rescue.
526
00:28:50,146 --> 00:28:52,148
As the Olympics open to NBA players,
527
00:28:52,231 --> 00:28:55,484
the us sends the greatest team
e ver assembled
528
00:28:55,568 --> 00:28:58,529
the United States will be
the overwhelming favorite in Barcelona.
529
00:28:58,613 --> 00:29:01,657
Among the competition, though,
there's one team that stands out.
530
00:29:01,741 --> 00:29:03,993
Like the usa, it's loaded with talent.
531
00:29:04,076 --> 00:29:07,079
Croatia has built
a basketball powerhouse.
532
00:29:10,041 --> 00:29:11,167
There's Toni kukoc,
533
00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:14,462
the 6'10" wizard they call
"the left-handed magic Johnson."
534
00:29:14,545 --> 00:29:17,965
A lot of excitement about
tomorrow's game against Croatia,
535
00:29:18,049 --> 00:29:21,510
our first chance to see Toni kukoc
against this kind of competition.
536
00:29:21,594 --> 00:29:23,763
What do you know about him and them?
537
00:29:23,846 --> 00:29:27,600
Well, I don't know a lot about him, but
if you listen to Michael and scottie,
538
00:29:27,683 --> 00:29:30,102
they know a whole lot about him
because, apparently,
539
00:29:30,186 --> 00:29:33,397
it was some mixed emotions
about him going to Chicago.
540
00:29:34,315 --> 00:29:36,567
With the second pick
in the second round,
541
00:29:36,651 --> 00:29:40,154
the Chicago Bulls select Toni kukoc.
542
00:29:40,237 --> 00:29:43,824
Toni's certainly
an outstanding young prospect,
543
00:29:44,450 --> 00:29:46,911
but I also think
that he's an outstanding young man.
544
00:29:48,287 --> 00:29:50,539
After I was drafted by the bulls,
545
00:29:50,623 --> 00:29:53,918
the situation home was not so great
546
00:29:54,001 --> 00:29:56,295
because of the war and everything.
547
00:29:56,921 --> 00:29:59,674
Yugoslavia is, of course,
a country divided
548
00:29:59,757 --> 00:30:02,927
in June, two of its republics,
Croatia and Slovenia,
549
00:30:03,010 --> 00:30:06,764
declared their independence,
/gniting a bloody civil war.
550
00:30:07,431 --> 00:30:11,978
I just decided to play
a couple more years in Europe first,
551
00:30:12,061 --> 00:30:18,776
just to be there and, kind of,
just to not take off completely.
552
00:30:19,694 --> 00:30:22,613
And I was making
considerably more in Europe
553
00:30:22,697 --> 00:30:25,700
than I would make
my first couple years here.
554
00:30:26,575 --> 00:30:28,369
We're not talking little money.
555
00:30:28,452 --> 00:30:29,912
We're talking a couple million.
556
00:30:30,454 --> 00:30:34,542
Jerry went over to watch Toni play
in what was then yugoslavia
557
00:30:34,625 --> 00:30:39,630
and said, "Toni kukoc is going to be
the future of the Chicago Bulls."
558
00:30:41,966 --> 00:30:45,553
Jerry was fawning over Toni so much
559
00:30:45,636 --> 00:30:49,473
while our team here
was winning championships,
560
00:30:49,557 --> 00:30:54,228
and it just... it rubbed a lot of the
players the wrong way, unfortunately.
561
00:30:54,645 --> 00:30:57,732
The timing of this kukoc thing is where
the problem has been all along, okay?
562
00:30:57,815 --> 00:30:59,900
He went out to negotiate with kukoc
563
00:30:59,984 --> 00:31:03,029
while pippen was waiting to sign
the deal that he's currently under.
564
00:31:03,112 --> 00:31:05,656
They kind of put him on hold
while they negotiated with kukoc.
565
00:31:05,740 --> 00:31:10,244
Krause, you know, he's willing to put
someone in front of his actual kids,
566
00:31:10,327 --> 00:31:14,331
who have given him everything
that we could give him.
567
00:31:16,042 --> 00:31:19,962
At that time, I have no idea
what was going on with the bulls.
568
00:31:20,046 --> 00:31:24,091
I don't know the frictions in between
scottie and Jerry, Michael and Jerry.
569
00:31:25,009 --> 00:31:30,181
So going to the Olympics,
I kind of thought everything was okay.
570
00:31:31,015 --> 00:31:34,018
The major story line
that carries into this game
571
00:31:34,101 --> 00:31:36,353
involves European star Toni k ukoc.
572
00:31:36,437 --> 00:31:39,940
In the dream team locker room
before the first game against Croatia,
573
00:31:40,024 --> 00:31:42,276
Michael says, "hey, guys. Kukoc.
574
00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:44,779
Leave him for scottie and me."
575
00:31:47,031 --> 00:31:49,450
K ukoc being played by p/ppen.
576
00:31:50,534 --> 00:31:52,369
And k ukoc went to the re verse.
577
00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:55,831
Here's Jordan with a step on k ukoc.
578
00:31:56,624 --> 00:31:59,627
K ukoc trying to return it.
P/ppen with the steal.
579
00:32:00,294 --> 00:32:01,879
Well, I didn't play a good game.
580
00:32:02,463 --> 00:32:06,759
I got surprised by how strict
they played defense.
581
00:32:06,842 --> 00:32:10,846
I didn't expect somebody to be
next to me literally the whole game.
582
00:32:10,930 --> 00:32:15,935
Jordan and p/ppen
are intent on showing their superiority.
583
00:32:16,435 --> 00:32:18,270
Toni kukoc became a great teammate,
584
00:32:18,354 --> 00:32:21,315
and I love Toni kukoc for who he is.
585
00:32:21,398 --> 00:32:23,984
But the way he was introduced
to me and scottie was...
586
00:32:24,068 --> 00:32:27,071
You know, I didn't appreciate it,
and it drove my energy.
587
00:32:27,696 --> 00:32:29,949
And at this point, Toni k ukoc,
588
00:32:30,032 --> 00:32:33,702
zero points, zero rebounds
for the Croatian team.
589
00:32:33,786 --> 00:32:35,830
Jordan and p/ppen
ha ve been all over him.
590
00:32:35,913 --> 00:32:37,665
I feel bad for Toni.
591
00:32:37,748 --> 00:32:39,768
You know, I thought Michael and scottie
were out of line.
592
00:32:39,792 --> 00:32:41,001
He was terrified!
593
00:32:41,794 --> 00:32:43,212
There's p/ppen again!
594
00:32:44,171 --> 00:32:45,548
Here's p/ppen giving the roll.
595
00:32:46,048 --> 00:32:49,927
A third foul.
P/ppen with a setup for Malone.
596
00:32:50,010 --> 00:32:53,013
Well, to this point,
it has been all scottie p/ppen.
597
00:32:54,557 --> 00:32:58,144
Jerry paved the way
for a lot of hell for Toni kukoc.
598
00:32:59,270 --> 00:33:02,773
Not only was it just me and Michael,
but every guy on the olympic team
599
00:33:02,857 --> 00:33:05,651
looked at that kid and felt like,
600
00:33:05,734 --> 00:33:09,071
"he may not even think about coming
to the NBA after he played against us."
601
00:33:09,155 --> 00:33:10,755
And the pressure continues.
602
00:33:11,824 --> 00:33:15,703
It wasn't anything personally
about Toni,
603
00:33:16,245 --> 00:33:20,457
but we were going to do everything
that we could to make Jerry look bad.
604
00:33:20,541 --> 00:33:24,170
78 off of a 79-5 run.
Jordan rejected k ukoc!
605
00:33:24,253 --> 00:33:25,754
Here is a three-on-two.
606
00:33:25,838 --> 00:33:27,798
P/ppen all the way!
607
00:33:30,217 --> 00:33:32,178
A 33-point victory.
608
00:33:32,261 --> 00:33:35,055
P/ppen also holding Toni k ukoc
to four points.
609
00:33:35,681 --> 00:33:40,436
I know scottie was a little pissed about
all the publicity surrounding kukoc,
610
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:44,773
and he proved today if they going to
give anybody in Chicago any more money,
611
00:33:44,857 --> 00:33:46,108
it better be him.
612
00:33:46,650 --> 00:33:49,737
You know, I still hear talk that, "he
just had a bad game. He was nervous."
613
00:33:49,820 --> 00:33:54,366
But if he's that nervous, then he can't
come to the NBA and play two games.
614
00:33:54,450 --> 00:33:55,784
They didn't know me.
615
00:33:55,868 --> 00:33:59,288
I mean, I don't see a reason
why would they try to take it on me.
616
00:33:59,371 --> 00:34:00,956
They don't know me at all.
617
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,417
That's the first time we meet.
618
00:34:08,505 --> 00:34:10,424
Yeah, that's a little bit unfair to him.
619
00:34:10,507 --> 00:34:11,926
I mean, you got to realize,
620
00:34:12,009 --> 00:34:15,304
the guy was playing against 11
of the best players in the league.
621
00:34:15,387 --> 00:34:18,057
Once we're in the finals,
because, obviously,
622
00:34:18,140 --> 00:34:21,143
United States is going to be
the second finalist,
623
00:34:21,227 --> 00:34:22,853
then we'll play.
624
00:34:22,937 --> 00:34:24,230
Coming up shortly,
625
00:34:24,313 --> 00:34:26,607
the dream team,
the us men's basketball team,
626
00:34:26,690 --> 00:34:29,109
will take on Croatia for the gold medal.
627
00:34:29,193 --> 00:34:32,947
Well, this the second meeting
between the United States and Croatia.
628
00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:37,826
The last time they met, last week,
the United States won by 33 points.
629
00:34:37,910 --> 00:34:40,621
For the second game
when we played them, kukoc came back,
630
00:34:40,704 --> 00:34:41,705
and I give him credit.
631
00:34:41,789 --> 00:34:44,625
He came back and played a much
better game than he did the first game.
632
00:34:48,128 --> 00:34:50,422
Toni k ukoc
certainly has turned it around
633
00:34:50,506 --> 00:34:55,177
from his performance in the earlier
meeting against the United States.
634
00:34:55,261 --> 00:34:59,223
Americans didn't understand
how tough people like Toni kukoc were.
635
00:34:59,306 --> 00:35:00,140
They had no idea.
636
00:35:00,224 --> 00:35:03,811
Some people have no idea
about the war-torn situations,
637
00:35:03,894 --> 00:35:08,983
and the poverty and the oppression
that guys like kukoc came from,
638
00:35:09,066 --> 00:35:11,068
that produced them, that hardened them,
639
00:35:11,151 --> 00:35:12,820
and so it was stupid to call him soft.
640
00:35:14,071 --> 00:35:17,491
He had to fight to gain their respect,
and he did it.
641
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,869
To come back
after being totally emasculated
642
00:35:20,953 --> 00:35:22,913
showed me a lot about Toni kukoc.
643
00:35:22,997 --> 00:35:26,750
K ukoc now has 76 points, six assists.
644
00:35:27,209 --> 00:35:29,312
I remember Michael coming back
in the locker room saying,
645
00:35:29,336 --> 00:35:32,131
"he played pretty well, Matt.
He's tougher than we thought."
646
00:35:36,468 --> 00:35:42,141
777-85. And the dream team,
as expected, won the game here.
647
00:35:42,808 --> 00:35:45,686
The team won the '92 Olympics,
648
00:35:45,769 --> 00:35:49,231
and then Michael decided
that he didn't want
649
00:35:49,315 --> 00:35:53,694
to display the Reebok logo
650
00:35:53,777 --> 00:35:55,904
that was on his uniform.
651
00:35:58,032 --> 00:36:00,743
Maybe Michael Jordan
did come to the 92 Olympics
652
00:36:00,826 --> 00:36:04,246
with an innocent desire to recapture
his pure love of sport,
653
00:36:04,330 --> 00:36:07,666
but money quickly complicated
the sentimental journey.
654
00:36:07,750 --> 00:36:10,878
Reebok had spent millions
to outfit the teams in Barcelona
655
00:36:10,961 --> 00:36:14,089
and expected all us athletes
to display its logo,
656
00:36:14,173 --> 00:36:16,884
especially the h/gh-profl'le dream team.
657
00:36:22,931 --> 00:36:23,931
Who's that?
658
00:36:46,330 --> 00:36:50,250
Michael was so singular
in his competitive drive,
659
00:36:50,334 --> 00:36:53,003
and a drive that extended
to his partners, like Nike,
660
00:36:53,087 --> 00:36:56,298
that he could not bear the thought
of wearing the Reebok logo
661
00:36:56,382 --> 00:36:58,008
on a global stage,
662
00:36:58,092 --> 00:37:00,928
receiving a gold medal at the Olympics.
663
00:37:02,638 --> 00:37:05,641
So he covered the Reebok logo up
664
00:37:05,724 --> 00:37:08,018
with the United States flag.
665
00:37:08,102 --> 00:37:11,271
Michael Jordan
draped in the American flag.
666
00:37:11,355 --> 00:37:12,439
It was extraordinary.
667
00:37:12,523 --> 00:37:15,609
And that is not
just solely for patriotic reasons.
668
00:37:17,486 --> 00:37:19,279
Here in Barcelona in the Olympics,
669
00:37:19,363 --> 00:37:22,157
these folks have done a job
taking basketball,
670
00:37:22,241 --> 00:37:24,159
and Michael Jordan particularly,
671
00:37:24,243 --> 00:37:26,370
to unbelievable heights.
672
00:37:26,453 --> 00:37:28,956
Michael was the face
of the dream team,
673
00:37:29,039 --> 00:37:34,044
and the dream team changed everything
about international basketball.
674
00:37:34,670 --> 00:37:37,631
The dream team is entirely responsible
for the NBA's profile
675
00:37:37,714 --> 00:37:40,801
taking a massive jump forward.
676
00:37:42,052 --> 00:37:45,806
It just... it shaped how the world felt
about the NBA.
677
00:37:47,224 --> 00:37:48,976
Michael Jordan, the dream team,
678
00:37:49,059 --> 00:37:51,603
helped bring sports into that place
679
00:37:52,354 --> 00:37:54,773
of cultural influence globally,
680
00:37:54,857 --> 00:37:58,026
so it wasn't just music that was cool.
681
00:37:58,110 --> 00:38:02,072
It wasn't just fashion in the us that
was translating into other countries.
682
00:38:02,156 --> 00:38:04,700
All of a sudden, it was the NBA.
683
00:38:06,660 --> 00:38:10,914
I think it was the first time that
sports was being sold in a cultural way.
684
00:38:11,665 --> 00:38:13,542
We were selling americana,
685
00:38:13,625 --> 00:38:17,212
and then what attached to it
was this incredibly handsome,
686
00:38:17,296 --> 00:38:20,549
successful player, his swagger...
687
00:38:21,717 --> 00:38:23,927
And people wanted to be part of that.
688
00:38:28,682 --> 00:38:32,811
After the Olympics,
Michael was the most recognizable,
689
00:38:32,895 --> 00:38:35,814
the most popular sports figure
690
00:38:35,898 --> 00:38:39,193
but, really, cultural figure,
in the world.
691
00:38:39,276 --> 00:38:41,487
He was really a global superstar.
692
00:38:42,070 --> 00:38:44,490
Everyone around the world
knew Michael Jordan.
693
00:38:51,413 --> 00:38:53,499
J“ sometimes ldream j“
694
00:38:53,582 --> 00:38:54,875
j“ that he is me j“
695
00:38:56,251 --> 00:38:59,254
j“ you've got to see
that's how / dream to be j“
696
00:38:59,338 --> 00:39:00,756
j“ bum, bum, bum, bum, bum j“
697
00:39:00,839 --> 00:39:05,302
once he got to the point
where it was, "be like Mike"...
698
00:39:06,178 --> 00:39:07,763
J“ I'd like to be like Mike j“
699
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:10,015
that changed everything for him.
700
00:39:10,557 --> 00:39:12,017
There's pressure to be like Mike.
701
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:14,895
If you're going to be like him,
you've got to be clean.
702
00:39:14,978 --> 00:39:16,104
You've got to be teflon.
703
00:39:16,188 --> 00:39:19,650
You've got to be completely spotless
as a person,
704
00:39:19,733 --> 00:39:21,151
and no human being is like that.
705
00:39:22,152 --> 00:39:23,153
J“ be like Mike j“
706
00:39:23,237 --> 00:39:24,446
I” like Mike I”
707
00:39:24,530 --> 00:39:26,532
I I'd like to be like Mike I
708
00:39:28,492 --> 00:39:35,249
any African American in this society
that sees significant success...
709
00:39:36,458 --> 00:39:38,794
Has an added burden,
710
00:39:38,877 --> 00:39:42,297
and a lot of times,
america is very quick to embrace
711
00:39:42,381 --> 00:39:45,884
a Michael Jordan or an Oprah Winfrey
or a Barack Obama...
712
00:39:47,344 --> 00:39:52,599
So long as it's understood
that you don't get too controversial
713
00:39:52,683 --> 00:39:55,686
around broader issues of social justice.
714
00:39:55,769 --> 00:39:57,289
Part of the reason he remained popular
715
00:39:57,354 --> 00:40:00,107
is that he never did anything
to piss anybody off.
716
00:40:00,941 --> 00:40:04,152
Probably the most controversial
thing Jordan said in his career
717
00:40:04,236 --> 00:40:07,364
was when Harvey gantt
was running for senate
718
00:40:07,447 --> 00:40:10,117
to be the first African American
from north Carolina
719
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,452
to serve in the us senate.
720
00:40:12,536 --> 00:40:15,831
Michael would not come out
and endorse or support gantt,
721
00:40:15,914 --> 00:40:17,874
and was quoted as saying,
722
00:40:17,958 --> 00:40:19,918
"Republicans buy sneakers too."
723
00:40:21,336 --> 00:40:24,131
Democrats in north Carolina
have nominated Harvey gantt
724
00:40:24,214 --> 00:40:25,757
as their candidate for the senate.
725
00:40:25,841 --> 00:40:28,051
If he defeats incumbent Jesse helms,
726
00:40:28,135 --> 00:40:30,596
gantt would become
the state's first black senator.
727
00:40:30,679 --> 00:40:34,766
1990 north Carolina Senate Race,
728
00:40:34,850 --> 00:40:38,020
you have the infamous Jesse helms
729
00:40:38,103 --> 00:40:41,023
and an African American
by the name of Harvey gantt.
730
00:40:41,773 --> 00:40:43,609
The stakes are really high.
731
00:40:43,692 --> 00:40:47,195
Jesse helms was a reprehensible figure
732
00:40:47,279 --> 00:40:50,073
in terms of his racism
and conservative politics.
733
00:40:50,157 --> 00:40:52,034
There's nothing cool about Jesse helms.
734
00:40:52,117 --> 00:40:54,995
Jesse helms can take
full credit, or blame,
735
00:40:55,078 --> 00:40:58,123
for killing a new national
African American museum.
736
00:40:58,206 --> 00:41:00,959
Helms also stood against
the Martin Luther King holiday.
737
00:41:01,043 --> 00:41:04,087
I'm not saying to you
that we wouldn't have segregated schools
738
00:41:04,171 --> 00:41:09,009
or largely segregated schools
under a freedom-of-choice plan,
739
00:41:09,092 --> 00:41:10,594
such as I've suggested,
740
00:41:10,677 --> 00:41:14,681
but I will say to you that
that would be the choice.
741
00:41:14,765 --> 00:41:18,894
Michael refuses to do a commercial
742
00:41:18,977 --> 00:41:20,604
to support Harvey gantt,
743
00:41:20,687 --> 00:41:24,858
and the statement that emerges,
"Republicans buy nikes too,"
744
00:41:24,941 --> 00:41:27,361
sounds as though Michael is saying,
745
00:41:27,444 --> 00:41:32,824
"my personal wealth is more important
than my politics
746
00:41:32,908 --> 00:41:34,743
as it pertains to the issue of race."
747
00:41:34,826 --> 00:41:36,870
I don't think that statement
needs to be corrected
748
00:41:36,953 --> 00:41:38,413
because I said it in jest,
749
00:41:38,497 --> 00:41:42,834
you know, on a bus with Horace Grant
and scottie pippen.
750
00:41:42,918 --> 00:41:45,253
And it was, you know,
thrown off the cuff.
751
00:41:45,921 --> 00:41:49,633
My mother asked to do a psa for
Harvey gantt, and I said, "look, mom.
752
00:41:49,716 --> 00:41:52,386
I'm not speaking out of pocket
about someone I don't know,
753
00:41:52,469 --> 00:41:55,597
but I will send a contribution
to support him,"
754
00:41:55,681 --> 00:41:56,890
which is what I did.
755
00:41:56,973 --> 00:42:00,894
Conservative incumbent
Jesse helms won a fourth term,
756
00:42:00,977 --> 00:42:03,605
defeating liberal black Harvey gantt.
757
00:42:03,689 --> 00:42:06,775
There's no joy in mudville tonight.
758
00:42:09,569 --> 00:42:11,655
Gantt was not bitter in defeat,
759
00:42:11,738 --> 00:42:14,825
but this contest proves
that race is still a powerful issue
760
00:42:14,908 --> 00:42:16,368
in American politics.
761
00:42:16,910 --> 00:42:20,789
Michael did lose some credibility
with the African American audience,
762
00:42:20,872 --> 00:42:25,293
and people were disappointed because
he did not come out and support gantt.
763
00:42:25,377 --> 00:42:28,880
Everybody in the world
respects Muhammad Ali.
764
00:42:28,964 --> 00:42:31,758
You know why?
Because he stood for something.
765
00:42:31,842 --> 00:42:36,555
He stood for something,
even if it meant sacrificing a payday.
766
00:42:36,638 --> 00:42:38,265
We respect that.
767
00:42:38,348 --> 00:42:42,185
Ultimately,
Michael Jordan may be forgotten.
768
00:42:42,269 --> 00:42:44,396
Muhammad Ali won't be forgotten.
769
00:42:45,814 --> 00:42:50,068
I do commend Muhammad all
for standing up for what he believed in.
770
00:42:51,194 --> 00:42:53,697
But I never thought of myself
as an activist.
771
00:42:53,780 --> 00:42:56,032
I thought of myself
as a basketball player.
772
00:42:57,492 --> 00:43:00,662
I wasn't a politician
when I was playing my sport.
773
00:43:00,746 --> 00:43:02,873
You know, I was focused on my craft.
774
00:43:02,956 --> 00:43:06,209
Was that selfish? Probably,
but that was my energy.
775
00:43:06,293 --> 00:43:07,586
That's where my energy was.
776
00:43:07,669 --> 00:43:11,840
I'll be honest that when it was reported
777
00:43:11,923 --> 00:43:16,762
that Michael said, you know,
"Republicans buy sneakers too,"
778
00:43:16,845 --> 00:43:20,849
you know, for somebody who was,
at that time,
779
00:43:20,932 --> 00:43:25,103
preparing for a career in
civil rights law and in public life,
780
00:43:25,187 --> 00:43:28,190
and knowing what Jesse helms stood for,
781
00:43:28,273 --> 00:43:32,277
you would've wanted to see Michael
push harder on that.
782
00:43:33,612 --> 00:43:35,363
On the other hand,
783
00:43:35,447 --> 00:43:41,828
he was still trying to figure out,
"how am I managing this image
784
00:43:41,912 --> 00:43:46,500
that has been created around me?
And how do I live up to it?"
785
00:43:47,167 --> 00:43:50,170
It's never going to be enough for
everybody. I know that. I realize that.
786
00:43:50,253 --> 00:43:52,506
You know,
'cause everybody has a preconceived idea
787
00:43:52,589 --> 00:43:55,425
in terms of what they think I should do
and what I shouldn't do.
788
00:43:57,260 --> 00:44:00,680
The way that I go about my life is
I set examples.
789
00:44:01,681 --> 00:44:03,683
And if it inspires you, great.
790
00:44:03,767 --> 00:44:05,936
You know, I will continue to do that.
791
00:44:06,019 --> 00:44:10,106
If it doesn't, then maybe I'm not
the person that you should be following.
792
00:44:23,286 --> 00:44:26,957
In '97 and '98,
the ticket requests, you know,
793
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,626
went through the roof
because there was a question Mark.
794
00:44:29,709 --> 00:44:32,337
You know, did Michael want to play?
Did he want to retire?
795
00:44:34,089 --> 00:44:38,885
And that year, we put our tickets
on sale on a Saturday morning at 10:00,
796
00:44:38,969 --> 00:44:41,721
and people lined up
at the Chicago stadium.
797
00:44:42,556 --> 00:44:46,268
By noon, the entire season was sold out.
798
00:44:46,351 --> 00:44:51,106
But then every request was a battle
for the rest of the season.
799
00:44:51,189 --> 00:44:53,275
Michael, on most nights,
800
00:44:53,358 --> 00:44:57,237
would need anywhere
from 12 to 20 tickets.
801
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,406
Other players would want some.
802
00:44:59,489 --> 00:45:02,617
And it was funny too, because, at
some point, I had to limit the players.
803
00:45:02,701 --> 00:45:05,495
You know, we didn't have
unlimited tickets in those days.
804
00:45:06,538 --> 00:45:08,039
Hey.
805
00:45:16,006 --> 00:45:17,007
Bam.
806
00:45:25,473 --> 00:45:26,725
Just kidding.
807
00:45:29,102 --> 00:45:30,687
Hey, that's a lie.
808
00:45:30,770 --> 00:45:32,814
Do not take that off the tape either.
809
00:45:32,898 --> 00:45:34,441
- You better. Shit!
- He's not kidding.
810
00:45:34,524 --> 00:45:37,485
Lord, I got a witness.
811
00:45:37,569 --> 00:45:39,630
He's not kidding.
Make sure y'all don't edit that off.
812
00:45:39,654 --> 00:45:41,674
Get your ass on out of here now. I
gave you a ticket. Get the hell on out.
813
00:45:41,698 --> 00:45:44,951
Thank you. Make sure y'all don't edit
that off. He ain't kidding.
814
00:45:45,035 --> 00:45:47,871
The road was sometimes
more challenging than at home
815
00:45:47,954 --> 00:45:50,999
because you were dealing
in other people's arenas.
816
00:45:51,082 --> 00:45:53,442
When he played down in Atlanta,
the bulls played down there,
817
00:45:53,501 --> 00:45:57,297
and they had more people than you'd have
for a football game in the Atlanta dome,
818
00:45:57,380 --> 00:45:58,381
just to see Michael.
819
00:45:58,465 --> 00:46:00,592
I” uh-huh uh-huh I”
820
00:46:00,675 --> 00:46:02,677
I baby yeah, yeah I
821
00:46:02,761 --> 00:46:04,179
I cut it up uh-huh I
822
00:46:04,262 --> 00:46:06,264
I yeah, yeah uh-huh I
823
00:46:06,348 --> 00:46:07,474
I uh-huh I
824
00:46:07,557 --> 00:46:09,935
I aha hush that fuss I
825
00:46:10,018 --> 00:46:11,895
I everybody move
to the back of the bus I
826
00:46:11,978 --> 00:46:16,232
NBA record 62, 046 fans
packed into the Georgia dome
827
00:46:16,316 --> 00:46:20,153
to see what may ha ve been
Michael Jordan's final game in Atlanta.
828
00:46:20,236 --> 00:46:22,489
And right now,
if we had another 15,000 seats,
829
00:46:22,572 --> 00:46:24,258
I believe we could still sell 'em
for this game.
830
00:46:24,282 --> 00:46:25,676
It's the hottest thing I've ever seen.
831
00:46:25,700 --> 00:46:28,912
All I know is, when the tickets came
this morning, my wife ran downstairs,
832
00:46:28,995 --> 00:46:31,373
and she was crying,
she was so happy, so I'm the hero.
833
00:46:32,707 --> 00:46:33,959
Oh!
834
00:46:34,542 --> 00:46:38,088
There's nothing you can do about that.
See? That's Michael Jordan at his best.
835
00:46:38,171 --> 00:46:42,842
Everywhere you went,
people wanted tickets,
836
00:46:42,926 --> 00:46:44,886
but it became overwhelming.
837
00:46:44,970 --> 00:46:47,847
We going to see Michael Jordan!
838
00:46:53,645 --> 00:46:56,189
I say aha hush that fuss I
839
00:46:56,272 --> 00:46:58,358
I everybody move
to the back of the bus I
840
00:46:58,441 --> 00:47:00,777
I do you want to bump
and slump with us?
841
00:47:00,860 --> 00:47:02,797
I we the type of people
to make the club get crunk I
842
00:47:02,821 --> 00:47:05,448
I say aha hush that fuss I
843
00:47:05,532 --> 00:47:07,951
I everybody move
to the back of the bus I
844
00:47:08,368 --> 00:47:12,455
We save a lot of money
and we traveled 24 hours
845
00:47:12,539 --> 00:47:13,790
to see Chicago Bulls.
846
00:47:13,873 --> 00:47:15,583
It's a dream!
847
00:47:15,667 --> 00:47:17,544
Tonight's game is sold out.
848
00:47:17,627 --> 00:47:20,964
Do not purchase tickets from scalpers
on seventh Avenue.
849
00:47:21,047 --> 00:47:22,298
They are counterfeit.
850
00:47:22,382 --> 00:47:25,135
And everybody in the world
begged me for tickets.
851
00:47:25,802 --> 00:47:29,514
You know, movie stars would come in,
and celebrities would come in.
852
00:47:29,597 --> 00:47:31,307
You got to know people.
853
00:47:31,391 --> 00:47:32,809
I can beg. I'm a beggar.
854
00:47:32,892 --> 00:47:34,853
If there's tickets to be gotten,
I will find them.
855
00:47:34,936 --> 00:47:37,564
I say aha hush that fuss I
856
00:47:37,647 --> 00:47:39,816
I everybody move
to the back of the bus I
857
00:47:39,899 --> 00:47:42,235
I do you want to bump
and slump with us? I
858
00:47:42,318 --> 00:47:44,988
I we the type of people
to make the club get crunk I
859
00:47:45,071 --> 00:47:47,758
people expect you to still put on a show
and he does that each and every night.
860
00:47:47,782 --> 00:47:51,077
Like, hey, look, I want to be
like Mike also, okay?
861
00:47:52,203 --> 00:47:54,748
Oh!
862
00:47:57,500 --> 00:47:59,180
Michael doesn't pass me
the ball that well.
863
00:47:59,210 --> 00:48:01,647
- You heard it here first.
- He doesn't pass me the ball at all.
864
00:48:01,671 --> 00:48:03,757
I want Michael to play
as long as he wants.
865
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,400
Right now, he's at the top of his game.
866
00:48:05,425 --> 00:48:08,154
It's a shame what krause and reinsdorf
are doing. I don't understand it.
867
00:48:08,178 --> 00:48:10,930
The similarity
between the bulls and seinfe/o?
868
00:48:11,473 --> 00:48:13,683
The show of the '90s,
the team of the '90s,
869
00:48:13,767 --> 00:48:17,687
and I'm trying to make quitting
the move of the '90s.
870
00:48:17,771 --> 00:48:19,189
Let the new people in.
871
00:48:20,607 --> 00:48:23,109
- What's up, partner?
- How you doing? Good to see you.
872
00:48:23,193 --> 00:48:24,795
Haven't seen you since the photos hit.
873
00:48:24,819 --> 00:48:27,030
These are a couple
of your good friends right here.
874
00:48:27,113 --> 00:48:30,825
Every day we come in and watch the game,
they're watching your show.
875
00:48:30,909 --> 00:48:33,578
And I'm saying, "sooner or later,
you got to get tired of seinfeld“
876
00:48:36,331 --> 00:48:37,957
- Hey, Phil.
- How you doing?
877
00:48:38,500 --> 00:48:40,227
- All right, have a good game.
- Principal's kicking you out.
878
00:48:40,251 --> 00:48:43,004
- Yeah. Good to see you.
- All right. I'll see you, Jerry.
879
00:48:44,214 --> 00:48:45,048
All right.
880
00:48:45,131 --> 00:48:47,884
This is not going to work, by the way.
I would get that out of there.
881
00:48:47,967 --> 00:48:49,344
Just give the ball to Michael.
882
00:48:49,844 --> 00:48:51,197
- How you doing?
- All right.
883
00:48:51,221 --> 00:48:52,055
Have a good game.
884
00:48:52,138 --> 00:48:53,157
When you get to the top,
885
00:48:53,181 --> 00:48:55,934
it's great to be admired and respected.
886
00:48:56,017 --> 00:48:58,353
I'm not saying that wasn't fun.
887
00:48:59,229 --> 00:49:01,397
But every time I would get by myself
888
00:49:01,481 --> 00:49:04,859
and I think about the end of the season,
the ultimate goal,
889
00:49:04,943 --> 00:49:06,820
holding up that championship trophy,
890
00:49:06,903 --> 00:49:09,656
and being recognized
as the best team in the world,
891
00:49:10,406 --> 00:49:13,034
it's something at the end
of this rainbow that I'm fighting for,
892
00:49:13,118 --> 00:49:16,037
and I'm going to give every little bit
to get to it.
