Tried to post the video currently on ESPN but couldn’t do it so here’s the Bulls link. Looks like 10 hours of footage with a lot of
people in it and a lot unseen video.

Looks absolutely sick

Think they'll talk about the "Hangov..." uh, I mean, "Flu game?"

 

[wildturkey]

10 parts? Why?

Like I got most of what I needed from that story from the excellent doc they did on MJ himself. I don't need THAT much more.

This reminded me - Someone one of these days needs to do a thread about Paul Pierce shitting himself in the NBA Finals.

”rogue pizza delivery man was responsible”

In the interview, MJs trainer describes how the team was in Park City, Utah, and it was too late to order room service. They called a pizza place to deliver to the team hotel, which Grover says was well known by locals.

When Michael Jordan went to the minors and cheated at Yahtzee


Lol

"No one was more competitive,'' Francona said. "So we come home from a road trip and we park next to a basketball court, and a bunch of guys start hooting at Michael to play. Finally, he'd had enough. He told four of his coaches, including me, 'We're playing!' I said no. I was in charge of him, I couldn't let him get hurt. They would have fired me if he got hurt. So the first time down the court, I set a pick for him. He screams at me, 'Get the hell out of the way! I don't need a pick!' Then he goes and dunks on this guy. Another guy starts chirping. Michael dunks on him too and literally bends the rim. Then he stands over the top of him, screaming at him. I jumped in. 'OK, that's it, this game is over!'''

francona also said he had no doubt had he stuck with it he would have played in the majors.

Doubtful. You ever see him bat? Major league pitchers would have eat him alive.

Seriously though, from what I saw of him, with his height, speed and jumping ability he could have been a late inning defensive replacement as an outfielder.

If he could have been a good enough hitter to at least hit his weight, he might have been able to be an everyday player batting 8th or something, but he'd have to be a special player defensively.

Problem is, he wasn't even batting his weight in Single A. So, he was years away from the majors. Probably more than he had left as a player.

well Francona and others are on record saying if he had given it 2 more years he would have made it. Wasn’t going to be a star no.

I don't know man. Maybe if he had started earlier or concentrated on baseball instead of basketball.

His swing was pretty bad and .202 in single A is not a good sign.

I think they were just being nice because it's MJ.

But yeah, if he did somehow make it, he wasn't going to be a star. Sticking with basketball was the right move.
