2. I am watching it on DVR but it'll be replayed on ESPN a lot it's long, and three

segments. But OMGOSH, I didn't know all that went on for this rivalry to blossom. It's great.

3. Watched it...it was incredible!!

One has to wonder if Jordan would have had the same impact had Magic never been diagnosed with HIV and Bird's back had held up, not to mention the what ifs surrounding Len Bias.

8. I Think Your History Is A Bit Off

By his third season, Jordan was already the second most recognized athlete in the world, behind only Ali. His shear presence did that, and btw, the Bulls beat the Lakers in 5 BEFORE Magic was diagnosed. Also, by the time Bird's back became a serious issue, Pippen and Grant had matured and it was no longer the Jordan show, but the "Bulls starring Michael Jordan".

Since i was actually in my 30's during that era, i don't need a documentarian's lens to have an opinion on how things occurred. I was watching as they occurred.

4. The 30 for 30 series is incredibly good.

One of my favorites is "The Four Falls of Buffalo" The other is "Of Miracles and Men" which tells the story of the 1980 American hockey victory in the Olympics from the Soviet point of view. Totally amazing.

5. About a decade or so

from now, ESPN will probably also make a Warriors vs Cavs film. I'm calling it right now.
