24. Karl Malone wearing white jeans with a black belt and a plum T-shirt tucked in really brought this documentary home. When I get the time I'm starting an Instagram account of shirts tucked into jeans from this doc.
25. Bob Costas on Dennis Rodman: "Off the court his tired freak show continues." Costas has taken the gloves off!
26. Jordan had some very close misses on series clinching shots in both the '98 Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals. I mean inches. "That's the beauty of the game," he says. "For 1.1 seconds everyone was holding their breath. Which was kind of cute." Don't be so cute, Michael.
27. Look I can't talk about the Leonardo DiCaprio clip. It will take too much time. But just, well, 'The Man in the Iron Face' Jordan calls his movie, which is a better title than 'The Man in the Iron Mask.' Then Leo tells Jordan, 'You did some beautiful stuff just now, that was poetic.' And I love Leo more than ever. Mind you this is PEAK LEO. 98 Leo. That was about as much cultural cache as you could have in one room in American history.
28. If we could get it out of the ashes, how much does the MJ poem go for at Sotheby's? Gotta be $1 million.
29. There was a great deal of gratitude in this final two hours. MJ telling his friends to get in the moment and stay here after Game 6. Reinsdorf saying that he found the greatest joy in bringing happiness to strangers. Phil's acceptance in saying goodbye. Jordan saying it all started with hope. The team gathering to share their emotions. The philosophical depths of sports have never been so lovingly detailed.
