First hour, 9 pm:

The opening gave me chills! Everybody wanted to be like Mike.
"Babe Ruth and Muhammad Ali" the only other people considered great along with Michael Jordan.

Let’s dance.

Jerry Krause was the GM of the Bulls and the root of the tension for the season of 19987-1998 season.

Apparently Krause had a Napoleon complex and needed credit for the Bulls. He was growing resentful of the attention Jordan, Pippen and Rodman were receiving.
"Players and coaches don't win championships "alone", organizations do." -Krause
"For him to say that was offensive to the way I approached the game" -Jordan
"If Phil's not coaching, I wont be apart of the rebuild. I will not play for another coach" - Jordan
Krause and Phil Jackson had tension. It seemed that Krause was grooming Tim Floyd to be the next coach in Jackson's face.
Krause told Jackson, after signing him to a one-year $6 million deal, that it would be his last year

"I said 'fine' and walked out the room. That was the last of our conversation" -Jackson

No one:

Rod Thorn... "We weren't very good previous to Michael Jordan."
The Bulls were being out drawn by an indoor soccer team
UNC coach Dean Smith ran a very tight ship.

"I think my vision and Mr. Jordan's bison was how was going to grow Michael as well as education. That was important to us"- Michael Jordan's mother, Deloris Jordan
"He was a fine young man and his parents raised a good kid" -Dean Smith
"Im gonna show you, no one will ever work as hard as I work" -Roy Williams on Michael Jordan
"I was better than he was... for about two weeks" -James Worthy
"We were down by one and coach Smith was cool" -Worthy
"If you get the shot, take the shot" -Jordan on '82 shot
"It felt really good. I did something that helped the whole team and maybe win the game." -Jordan after the '82 shot
"That turned me from Mike, to Michael Jordan. That gave me the confidence I needed to turn that corner." -Jordan
"When I think of Michael Jordan, yes I think of the shot, but I think of the three years he got better and better. He's the only one who can turn it on and off. He never turned it off" -Roy Williams
"I was going to return my senior year, but Coach Smith told me I should go pro"- Jordan

Incredible scenery and background of Jordan in Chapel Hill. Videos the public has yet to see of the intimate scenes of Jordan in Chapel Hill.

"We were lucky the draft was before the olympics. Michael became a star during that time"
"He's the best player I've seen" -Bob Knight, Olympic Coach
The Bulls were uhhhh active in drugs and women apparently. Jordan as a rookie, left that alone because he didn't want to be involved and came from a clean program (UNC). He didn't smoke, do lines, or drink at the time, he just wanted to play.
Because of his height (6'6) no one thought he could do much or even carry the team. Boy, were they in for a rude awakening.
Oct. 29, 1984... the game Michael Jordan showed everyone he's the real deal.
Since Jordan arrived games, sold out!

Chicago embraced a rookie and made him their own. He brought back to life a dying franchise.
"He's poetry in motion" -Bulls fan

Seeing Jordan with his kids, Jeffery and Marcus showed a side we rarely see!
"Michael played every game as if it was his last. He knew there was someone in the stands that never seen him before" -Ahmad Rashad
'Last Dance' was the theme by Phil Jackson for the 1997-1998 team
"Enjoy what's happening cause this is it."
Jordan clearly clowned Jerry Krause every chance he got lol

Phenomenal opening to an incredible story and legend. This series has been an eye opener to who Michael Jordan was and how much he meant to the city of Chicago in a short amount of time.

This series was incredible. Scottie Pippen's story line was the most impactful tonight. As a fan, watching the Bulls' iconic run, Pippen's presence is noticeable on and off the court. His antics with Krause, demanding a trade and staying on IR because he felt undervalued impacted a five time winning championship team... one person who isn't Michael Jordan forced the Bulls into an uncomfortable position.

Scottie Pippen's legacy needs to be re-written. Starting now.
