The whole run is on Youtube. It's disgusting.
 
That was freakin awesome. Haven't been glued to my tv like that in a long time. MJ is/was on a different level. My goodness

Kobe, TD, and KG has more of a right to be mentioned with anyone on this squad than Lebron or Wade.

This doc was spectacular.  How Edward Burns was picked to narrate it, I have no idea. 
 
Anyone know when they will re-air this?  I am in the no NBA TV group myself and hated I missed it.  All the reviews seem great.  I remember this stuff like it was yesterday, I have most of the teams jersey's that were screenprinted by champion at the time. All the cereal boxes from Kellogs' and Wheaties still unopened, with the labels still on them where you could get merchandise. This was real basketball not that ticky tack stuff that you see today.  Thanks to all that posted the links to watch but they have all been removed.....

It’s NBATV, they’ll probably re-air it every night there isn’ta Finals game, and then 8,000 times over the summer.
 
Documentary was AWESOME. I was so hooked on it that I watched a bunch of YouTube videos after

My favorite part was the practice footage. All those big egos going after each other trying to prove they were the best was

And you really did see how on another planet Jordan was from those guys, amazing.
 
Much of their story involves Thomas, who as captain of the Detroit Pistons served as a primary threat to the championship ambitions of Bird's Celtics and Magic's Lakers. The book offers revelations that have stunned Thomas. Magic addresses years of rumors by finally accusing Thomas of questioning his sexuality after Johnson was diagnosed with HIV in 1991. Magic also admits that he joined with Michael Jordan and other players in blackballing Thomas from the 1992 Olympic Dream Team, saying, "Isiah killed his own chances when it came to the Olympics. Nobody on that team wanted to play with him. ... Michael didn't want to play with him. Scottie [Pippen] wanted no part of him. Bird wasn't pushing for him. Karl Malone didn't want him. Who was saying, 'We need this guy?' Nobody.''

"I'm glad that he's finally had the nerve and the courage to stand up and say it was him, as opposed to letting Michael Jordan take the blame for it all these years,'' Thomas responded during one of several interviews he gave to SI.com on Wednesday. "I wish he would have had the courage to say this stuff to me face to face, as opposed to writing it in some damn book to sell and he can make money off it.''
 
Not to mention the freeze-out Isiah lead on Michael during Michael's rookie ASG, walking out early on the Bulls when they lost in the playoffs, and his usual dirty play on the court...I don't blame Michael or anyone else on the team in the least.
