Thoroughly enjoyed The Last Dance. Gutted it's finished. Some of my 'analysis':-

 

Jordan was an absolute monster on the court. I'm not a big basketball fan but some of the shit he was pulling off was incredible. One of the shots where he had the ball in his right hand, was coming down then threw it to his left hand and scored was unreal.

 

He was clearly a bit of a tyrant but I didn't get a sense of his being a tosser as such. He wanted to win and I expect him pushing folk to the limit played a bit part. I'd go as far to say that if you asked every player that won with him "would you trade his behaviour and the success for him to be more pleasant but win nothing" not one player would choose the latter.

 

I actually think given how much the press obsessed over him that he conducted himself really well. The guy was the best there's been but I didn't get much in the way of arrogance from him. Apart from when folk challenged him. But he didn't appear to play into the one man team sort of behaviour.

 

Jerry Krause is the epitome of wee man syndrome. To announce a coach will be sacked before a ball is thrown is absolutely mental. And the owner is just as big a dick.

 

Fair play to Karl Malone for coming on to the Bulls bus to congratulate Jordan. That took some balls IMO. Far more dignified than Thomas and The Pistons with their walk out.

 

Cracking documentary all-in.

Its easy to forget just how good Jordan was. He became this global mega-start but he genuinely was one of, if not the, best players to play the game. He was clearly a dick in the way he drove people but I dont think theres anyway you could do what he did to the Bulls without being that driven. I love the way he made up things to give him a reason to raise his game!

The other thing we learnt from the doc, though, was that Bulls team was rotten without Scottie Pippen

Got one episode left now as well. I'm going for..
Spoiler

a joint effort between a whole bunch of them

 


Got round to watching the finale tonight...

had a hunch it might have had something to do with Marcus, did feel for him finding out Axel had pumped Anna. Glad boxer got a relatively happy ending, and Marcus is a jammy c**t winding up with Kika

Has anyone seen White Lines? It’s the worst series I’ve ever seen in my life. Dreadful.


I have done 2 episodes it’s not great but I will stick with it

The Last Dance was brilliant, I know some folk have criticised the jumping back and forward in time, but I felt that put everything into context as to how everybody got to where they were.

It was Seve week on Bunkered.com last week as he would have turned 70. They shared this story from the 1997 Ryder Cup at Valderamma.IMG_20200524_172022.jpgIMG_20200524_172027.jpg

Started watching Snowpiercer today, looks pretty good. I Haven't seen the film so I have no preconceived ideas about how it's going to pan out.
Great movie, watched the first two episodes on Netflix and it's not too bad, hate the whole "new episode weekly" pish though.

Space Force has such a great cast but I think I managed about 4 minutes before I switched it off. Every joke was like that Have I Got News For You Twitter account level stuff. Obvious, strained, telegraphed. Also making the mistake of satirising Trump era America.

Anyone to reassure me it gets better?

Yep four episodes in and on the verge of giving up, which is a shame as you say the cast is great and in theory it should be good.

Wants annoying me most is that even the Americans wouldn't promote such an absolute idiot to four star general..

I'm either being whooshed or you haven't been noticing some of Trump's recent appointments. Giving at a go, maybe low expectations will pay off.

I quite liked the first episode. It wasn't great but it was what it was - a fairly silly parody to the US military.

Me too, you have to take in the tradition of American goofball comedy, don't expect subtlety.
