I vividly remember in the early 90s I was watching a Bulls/Pistons game in mid season. Bulls were getting blown out by 20. MJ was still playing ferocious D and was in his defensive stance on the last possession till the buzzer sounded. Just stuck out to me because it’s not like it was a must win, or the Bulls needed that game. Its just they way he played. He never cheated the game or the fans

He came to a random practice in '99 after he retired and beat the Bulls first round pick that year in street clothes. According to Skip Bayless, who covered the Bulls that season
Go watch a full throwback bulls game on the ESPN app. This dudes intensity is awesome. Straight up plays every single passing lane and plays dudes 94 feet !
That first 3peat Bulls team has a special place in my heart. I might prefer the second 3peat a little more because of Dennis and MJ being more of a team player but first 3peat is where it all started for me on NBC and WGN.
MJ summed it up best when he said that "I would never demand that my teammates do something that I wouldn't do". I love LBJ also but, I've seen Lebron choose to not play defense during portions of games, and then point fingers at his teammates when they did the same.
What an articulate man and class act, BJ Armstrong is, really a gentleman. I didn't really follow Michael Jordan, my sister (not a basketball fan) raved about The Last Dance. I finally watched it and I LOVE Michael Jordan, I thought he was and is a spectacular example of a human being and how to think. He deserves ALL of the accolades he receives AND who cares if Superman gambles once in awhile? NOT me! A NEW FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

I defended this guy before the documentary even aired. Another one very underrated is John Paxson. He made the most important 3-PT shot in Bulls history. Kyrie's shot in 2016 was not a game winner. Paxson's was. The Last Dance needs to give us more John Michael Wozniak, Carmen Electra, and here’s another one I'll throw out there... GARY PAYTON. The Glove needs his own show like Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. The guy seems like a barrel of laughs with his sharp tongue. Love Gary!
If LeBron was a bully to his teammates we would never hear the end of it. If Free Agency was as dominate as it is today, that dynasty would’ve ended a lot sooner than it did. Michael was a toxic bully that nobody liked to play with.
@@LakersFanSinceJulyst 2019 free agency had an overabundance of NBA stars today and guess what? Nobody relevant signed with the Lakers so there's your answer about people wanting to play with Lebron. OTOH, Pippen stayed on the team for all those years. Horace Grant left the Bulls for the Magic in free agency BECAUSE MJ was gone. Rodman never acted up when he was traded to the Bulls. But let idiots like you say it, "Michael was a toxic bully that nobody liked to play with".
BJ Armstrong is a good dude. He was the original baby face before Big Baby and Steph. He looked like he was still 12-years-old when he was pushing Kevin Johnson in 1993 in MJ's 55 point game.
When I first saw BJ playing with the Bulls back in the day, I always thought that a kid like me was playing with adults. But I can laugh and say my age like he can. If I shave my beard, I'd look like a kid, too.
I'm laughing at Shannon yesterday talking about his phone conversation with Horace. Shannon actually thinks he can bust MJ up... 🤣 Back in 1990, maybe. Not now. MJ at 250-ish and 3 inches taller will knock him the F out!
Shannon has talked about picking cotton, baling hay, and whatnot on the farm down south where he worked with his grandfather, brother, uncles, and cousins, from like the age of 8 or 9 until he went to college. Shannon says he still has the paystubs from back then, showing how young he was when he started working. Combine Shannon's natural country boy strength, with 3 or 4 years of college football, practices, weight lifting, plus 10+ seasons of NFL weight lifting, practices, and games, and his insane workout routine to this very day.....................and my money is on Shannon Sharpe being indicted for murder if he and Jordan ever fought....................either TWO-DAYE or back in 1990.
BJ was a great bench player. He talks about Jordan always bringing it, but I never saw BJ NOT bring his best. Much love and respect to you good sir! Thank you for your hard work, dedication, loyalty to Chicago and 3 spectacular championships!! 👏👏
B.J. scored the last 5 points in Game 5 of the Bulls vs. Knicks 1993 ECF. I don't think he gets enough credit for that. The 3 pointer he hit was huge but tends to get overshadowed by the blocks on Charles Smith. I wish he had been on all 6 of the Bulls championship teams.

When i was 10 yrs i was watching a game with my older and he told me BJ was 14yrs old, that he’s the only kid in the NBA... It was so believable because he look 14. I believed that lie for about 3 yrs😂
"That little Laker boy's gonna take everybody one-on-one." "If I was his teammate, I wouldn't pass him the f****n' ball! You want this ball again brother, you better rebound." That's how an alpha among alphas should talk.
We NEED at least one special episode with leftovers, especially from practice. Let's be honest, the parts a lot of people love the most thus far was the death stare with the two fingers and the shrug by Wozniak. We need more of that. It's a once in a lifetime chance right now.
Why Are All The Sports Talking Heads Justifying MJ's Arrogance And Disrespecting Of Others To His Focus And Will To Win. Where I Come From And The Way I Was Raised His Behavior Is Considered BULLYING - PERIOD!!! 😠 ijs smh
Lol toughen up bro it was just like that in sports back then my high school football coach was no different than Jordan, we all got yelled at it was no big deal and wasn't considered bullying
The thing about MJ is that even people who didn’t get along with him or didn’t like him at all still speak about him with reverence. Wish some of the younger generation would understand just how incredible the guy was in all facets of the game.
Kendrick Perkins saying LeBron is the G.O.A.T. off the court. Sure. That's arguable. Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Oscar Robertson were just as vocal politically and most of the world are still fascinated by MJ.
The people who grew tired or bored of MJ's success and the media drove MJ away from the game that first time. Both MJs, Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan, were never really the same people to the media after 1993.
*Mysterious* *Michael* *Jordan* *(2003-Present)* *Sam* *Smith:* Jordan was a remarkably open and engaging guy back then. He's much less accessible recently, though perhaps his mystery makes him an even greater public figure, sort of sporting Howard Hughes or Garbo. It remains more special today when Michael speaks. But back then he was as open and inviting as you'd like.
Episode 7 and 8 were leaked onto torrent sites awhile back already. I downloaded Episode 3 & 4 yesterday but then deleted them right away because I don't like the thing that says, "Property of ESPN" right in the middle.
Even though this docuseries covers the 1998 Bulls season, I noticed the 1st threepeat Bulls have been more interviewed! Guys like Horace, BJ, and Hodges have been interviewed over the 2nd threepeat teammates.
Steph curry and James Harden is no where near as athletic as a young Jordan yet there the top 5 players in today's game but according to your dumb opinion Jordan wouldn't be as good in today's game.....just go sit down somewhere u dumb game.
BJ Armstrong: Always a class act.
I lived two blocks over from BJ Armstrong in Detroit we also went to the same school and BJ has not aged a bit.
U ain't lying. That man found the fountain of youth.

Well said
To all those saying BJ looks young. Yes he's black, and he has great genetics, but he has also lived a very clean life.
BJ looked like a kid from the moment he was drafted ,that's all they used to talk about when he checked into games
I guess Flavor Flav and Bobby Brown never got the memo about blacks not aging.
I guess snoop dog, Dave Chappell, Oprah, etc etc never got that memo either. Neither did the one who made the comment lol

BJ has turned into a weird version of Tiger Woods
Lmao. It seems like it dnt it
I feel like MJ could have on a suit and tie and still give you the business back in the day
There are stories of him playing in dress clothes
He could. All Mike would need is his Jordans on with his suit.
He came to a random practice in '99 after he retired and beat the Bulls first round pick that year in street clothes. According to Skip Bayless, who covered the Bulls that season
