The 2020 Michael Jordan “The Last Dance” Docuseries parts 7 and 8 aired this past week and we provided our reactions to some of the key topics. The 2 episodes were filled with Jordan quotes that illustrated his drive to win and making his team during their second championship run when he returned from baseball appreciate the NBA grind to win it all. During practice, Jordan was highlighted talking to his teammates in a way to inspire them in his eyes. James Jordan’s support for his son Michael Jordan was key to how Jordan led his life post his father’s death, and what may have been the final influence to push Michael to baseball prior to James’ death. The NBA finals between the Seattle Supersonics and the Chicago Bulls was reviewed and Gary Payton was the main topic of discussion. Jordan had the infamous laugh after watching Gary Payton’s interview on the tablet indicating once Gary Payton was assigned to guard Jordan in Game 4, he wore Jordan down. We had a debate if Gary Payton was right by stating if he would have guarded Jordan the whole series, the Sonics may have won.
