(light music)

6
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,687
- [Cameron] Dad, can I come up
and look for a treasure map?

7
00:02:12,687 --> 00:02:14,950
- It's not like "The Goonies" up here.

8
00:02:14,950 --> 00:02:16,074
It's pretty tight.

9
00:02:16,074 --> 00:02:18,185
- [Cameron] But I've never been up there.

10
00:02:18,185 --> 00:02:20,185
- All right, come on up.

11
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:21,953
- Whoa!

12
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,367
This is exactly like "The Goonies."

13
00:02:30,219 --> 00:02:33,546
Whoa, are those CDs?

14
00:02:33,546 --> 00:02:34,896
- Nah, they're video tapes.

15
00:02:36,166 --> 00:02:38,499
- Whoa, is that a scrapbook?

16
00:02:39,366 --> 00:02:41,477
- Yeah, careful with it.

17
00:02:41,477 --> 00:02:42,758
Careful, it's old.

18
00:02:42,758 --> 00:02:43,690
- Sorry.

19
00:02:43,690 --> 00:02:45,820
- Yeah, we didn't have a lot
of money when I was a kid.

20
00:02:45,820 --> 00:02:48,930
But I got to go to one game and I made

21
00:02:48,930 --> 00:02:50,110
a whole scrap book out of it.

22
00:02:50,110 --> 00:02:51,570
- [Cameron] What year was it?

23
00:02:51,570 --> 00:02:54,675
- May 15th, 1993.

24
00:02:54,675 --> 00:02:57,175
(light music)

25
00:03:19,382 --> 00:03:22,700
But check this out, I
was able to sneak down

26
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:24,390
and take that picture.

27
00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:25,223
And I blew it up.

28
00:03:25,223 --> 00:03:27,531
It's right there, see.

29
00:03:27,531 --> 00:03:29,002
- [Cameron] Well, why?

30
00:03:29,002 --> 00:03:29,930
- Because it looks amazing.

31
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:31,820
I took that, that's Michael Jordan.

32
00:03:31,820 --> 00:03:33,910
- Whoa, I didn't catch that.

33
00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:36,161
- Yeah, I was able to
sneak down and get that.

34
00:03:36,161 --> 00:03:38,187
And then see that picture?

35
00:03:38,187 --> 00:03:39,190
- [Cameron] Uh-huh.

36
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:40,139
- [Adam] That picture was--

37
00:03:40,139 --> 00:03:43,030
- Wait, that looks like
the guy from the movie.

38
00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:46,220
Monster Lulu's Trampalator.

39
00:03:46,220 --> 00:03:48,662
- Oh, Luther The Anger Translator.

40
00:03:48,662 --> 00:03:49,495
- Yeah.

41
00:03:49,495 --> 00:03:50,328
- Yeah.

42
00:03:50,328 --> 00:03:52,683
Yeah, you're not supposed
to have seen that but okay.

43
00:03:53,652 --> 00:03:55,069
But look at this.

44
00:03:56,110 --> 00:03:57,693
See, I blew it up.

45
00:03:59,260 --> 00:04:00,840
I guess Michael Jordan
did look like Luther

46
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,800
the Anger Translator.

47
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,350
I never thought about that.

48
00:04:04,890 --> 00:04:06,520
- Yeah, why do you have a towel?

49
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,540
- Ah, that's very special.

50
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:11,792
This is Michael Jordan's towel.

51
00:04:11,792 --> 00:04:13,207
- Why do you have it?

52
00:04:13,207 --> 00:04:14,800
- Um, I was in the locker room

53
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,633
and he left it.

54
00:04:17,510 --> 00:04:19,013
And I took it.

55
00:04:19,013 --> 00:04:19,973
- Why'd you take it?

56
00:04:19,973 --> 00:04:21,429
- Because it's Michael Jordan's.

57
00:04:21,429 --> 00:04:22,494
It's like 25 years old.

58
00:04:22,494 --> 00:04:23,860
Just, okay, it's a little weird.

59
00:04:23,860 --> 00:04:25,502
I admit.

60
00:04:25,502 --> 00:04:26,857
- How'd you get into the locker room?

61
00:04:26,857 --> 00:04:28,070
Are these CDs?

62
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:30,520
- No, these are video tapes

63
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,210
and I was in radio and I got a press pass.

64
00:04:34,210 --> 00:04:38,505
And these are the video
I took when I met Jordan.

65
00:04:38,505 --> 00:04:39,657
- You met Jordan?

66
00:04:39,657 --> 00:04:40,910
- Yeah.
- Can we watch 'em?

67
00:04:40,910 --> 00:04:42,410
- Uh, yeah.

68
00:04:42,410 --> 00:04:43,860
I guess it should still work.

69
00:04:44,775 --> 00:04:47,275
(light music)

70
00:04:55,298 --> 00:04:57,631
(murmuring)

71
00:05:00,738 --> 00:05:01,837
- [Michael] The closest to being

72
00:05:01,837 --> 00:05:04,100
a post up center have to be--

73
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:06,413
- Why is this so shaky?

74
00:05:06,413 --> 00:05:08,000
- I was nervous.

75
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,680
That's Michael Jordan.

76
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,980
I had never used this camera before, man.

77
00:05:11,980 --> 00:05:14,980
I bought it that morning.

78
00:05:14,980 --> 00:05:17,666
So I didn't know how any
of this stuff worked.

79
00:05:17,666 --> 00:05:18,499
- No idea?

80
00:05:18,499 --> 00:05:19,700
- I just bought it that morning.

81
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,450
Before there's me and that reporter,

82
00:05:23,450 --> 00:05:24,830
and that other guy was Quinn Buckner.

83
00:05:24,830 --> 00:05:25,663
We were just hanging out talking

84
00:05:25,663 --> 00:05:27,040
like it was totally normal.

85
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,540
But I couldn't record that.

86
00:05:28,540 --> 00:05:31,510
I actually shouldn't even
been really recording this

87
00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:34,080
but I did.

88
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:34,960
Oh wait, you should hear this.

89
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,513
Jordan's talking about Shaq.

90
00:05:37,442 --> 00:05:39,594
- The hot chip guy?

91
00:05:39,594 --> 00:05:41,594
- Yes, the hot chip guy.

92
00:05:43,082 --> 00:05:43,915
- [Michael] The closest to being

93
00:05:43,915 --> 00:05:46,413
a post-up center is Patrick Ewing.

94
00:05:47,853 --> 00:05:49,410
Then Alonzo Mourning
and Alonzo, he can stand

95
00:05:49,410 --> 00:05:52,855
at the 3-point range shooting threes, so.

96
00:05:52,855 --> 00:05:54,240
And Shaq.

97
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,037
Shaq and Patrick are these ones,

98
00:05:56,037 --> 00:05:59,165
these centers that really remain dominant

99
00:05:59,165 --> 00:06:01,582
in the center, in the middle.

100
00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:06,020
- Sure, and that's gonna work

101
00:06:06,020 --> 00:06:08,277
because Scott, Anderson, Hardaway--

102
00:06:08,277 --> 00:06:11,340
- Hardaway, all those guys
that you can just move around.

103
00:06:11,340 --> 00:06:13,713
Different pieces of
the puzzle with Horace.

104
00:06:15,056 --> 00:06:17,362
- [Reporter] Are we good?

105
00:06:17,362 --> 00:06:18,862
- It's gonna work.

106
00:06:19,846 --> 00:06:22,002
- Why'd the color go away?

107
00:06:22,002 --> 00:06:24,083
- Uh, it was a setting on a camera.

108
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:27,250
And just turn it like this

109
00:06:27,250 --> 00:06:29,330
and it could do black and white.

110
00:06:29,330 --> 00:06:30,940
I thought black and
white looked kinda cool.

111
00:06:30,940 --> 00:06:32,294
I did some color stuff too.

112
00:06:32,294 --> 00:06:33,447
- I know you've been asked this before.

113
00:06:33,447 --> 00:06:36,541
As far as next year and
the balloon agreement

114
00:06:36,541 --> 00:06:38,162
and all of that, it's gonna be

115
00:06:38,162 --> 00:06:39,751
an incredible free agent market.

116
00:06:39,751 --> 00:06:41,042
- Sure.

117
00:06:41,042 --> 00:06:44,667
- [Reporter] Can you envision
playing anywhere else?

118
00:06:44,667 --> 00:06:47,239
I mean, obviously they
can offer you, how many...

119
00:06:47,239 --> 00:06:48,091
- No, I don't envision.

120
00:06:48,091 --> 00:06:50,173
I don't really have.

121
00:06:50,173 --> 00:06:52,093
I don't wanna play anywhere else.

122
00:06:52,093 --> 00:06:57,093
I want to play in Chicago.

123
00:06:57,563 --> 00:07:02,130
Will they step forward
and see that I do that?

124
00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:05,423
I don't have any reason to
think that they wouldn't.

125
00:07:05,423 --> 00:07:07,506
You know, quite honestly.

126
00:07:09,781 --> 00:07:11,781
But you never say never.

127
00:07:17,230 --> 00:07:19,447
- They talk about the Lakers here.

128
00:07:19,447 --> 00:07:21,447
- The original Game Boy!

129
00:07:23,850 --> 00:07:26,256
- [Reporter] There's gonna be
like, eight teams next year

130
00:07:26,256 --> 00:07:28,197
that have between seven
and eight, you know,

131
00:07:28,197 --> 00:07:30,400
at least seven million to sign.

132
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,233
- [Michael] If Shaq signs first,

133
00:07:31,233 --> 00:07:33,730
seven and eight million,
it's not gonna be enough.

134
00:07:35,362 --> 00:07:38,816
You know, it's gonna be one
guy that sets the market.

135
00:07:38,816 --> 00:07:40,778
- [Reporter] The Lakers are gonna have,

136
00:07:40,778 --> 00:07:42,230
if they renounce Elden, which they'll do,

137
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:44,160
so they'll have another slot.

138
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:44,993
They'll have 9.3.

139
00:07:46,290 --> 00:07:47,123
- So will Miami.

140
00:07:47,123 --> 00:07:47,956
- [Reporter] That's just guys comin' out.

141
00:07:47,956 --> 00:07:49,310
- Miami's right there too.

142
00:07:49,310 --> 00:07:50,316
- [Reporter] Yeah.

143
00:07:50,316 --> 00:07:51,330
- Miami's right at 10.

144
00:07:51,330 --> 00:07:52,180
- [Reporter] Yep.

145
00:07:53,910 --> 00:07:55,424
- Right at 10 in free agency.

146
00:07:55,424 --> 00:07:56,560
- [Vienna] Dad, can I come up?

147
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,393
- Yeah.

148
00:07:58,650 --> 00:07:59,483
Hey Cam, look.

149
00:07:59,483 --> 00:08:01,220
Pippen likes Gatorade too.

150
00:08:01,220 --> 00:08:02,083
- Who's Pippen?

151
00:08:04,590 --> 00:08:05,803
- I have failed you.

152
00:08:07,338 --> 00:08:09,671
(murmuring)

153
00:08:14,164 --> 00:08:14,997
- Wow.

154
00:08:16,655 --> 00:08:19,155
(light music)

155
00:08:20,557 --> 00:08:22,560
Are these basketball cards?

156
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,244
- Yeah, I bought every
single basketball card

157
00:08:26,244 --> 00:08:27,844
I could afford when I was a kid.

158
00:08:29,170 --> 00:08:30,276
Pretty, right?

159
00:08:30,276 --> 00:08:31,476
- Yeah.

160
00:08:31,476 --> 00:08:34,059
(light music)

161
00:08:36,810 --> 00:08:38,550
- [Adam] When you don't
live in an NBA city

162
00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:39,990
you gravitate towards anything

163
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:42,582
that can make you feel like you're there.

164
00:08:42,582 --> 00:08:43,870
And when you're from Columbus, Ohio

165
00:08:43,870 --> 00:08:46,800
there are Buckeye fans
and only Buckeye fans.

166
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,000
'Cause we all just felt
sorry for Cleveland.

167
00:08:52,590 --> 00:08:54,950
So I adopted the Chicago
Bulls when I was nine

168
00:08:54,950 --> 00:08:56,940
simply because the Chicago Bears won

169
00:08:56,940 --> 00:08:58,710
the Superbowl that year.

170
00:08:58,710 --> 00:09:01,070
Which means I lucked into following Jordan

171
00:09:01,070 --> 00:09:02,793
right as he began to explode.

172
00:09:04,830 --> 00:09:06,350
I was also lucky enough to be taping

173
00:09:06,350 --> 00:09:09,100
the night Jordan scored
69 and my father and I

174
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:11,680
edited a highlight reel using two VCRs

175
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,423
and ended up doing that for
every game I could tape.

176
00:09:15,508 --> 00:09:18,008
(light music)

177
00:09:19,570 --> 00:09:20,790
And magazines.

178
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:23,550
My goodness, the magazines covers.

179
00:09:23,550 --> 00:09:25,280
I read them, cut out some pictures,

180
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,930
and I'd get an extra copy to save

181
00:09:26,930 --> 00:09:28,723
like giant basketball cards.

182
00:09:30,590 --> 00:09:33,130
We tend to forget that
before HD broadcasts

183
00:09:33,130 --> 00:09:35,760
and TVs the size of your wall, these types

184
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,220
of images were like gold.

185
00:09:38,220 --> 00:09:40,670
You'd see magazine spreads
on a game you had watched

186
00:09:40,670 --> 00:09:42,680
and think, wow, that's
what it would be like

187
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:45,160
if I was ever able to sit that close.

188
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,030
Knowing you surely would
never get that access.

189
00:09:48,030 --> 00:09:52,253
But for a few moments looking
through those pages, you did.

190
00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:57,010
And then when Jordan retired
I was absolutely crushed.

191
00:09:57,010 --> 00:10:00,473
Which made what came next
even more spectacular.

192
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:02,533
The return.

193
00:10:03,610 --> 00:10:05,780
Because now I was an adult.

194
00:10:05,780 --> 00:10:07,100
I was out of the house.

195
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:09,130
So if I wanted to spend 300 dollars

196
00:10:09,130 --> 00:10:11,360
for a pair of nose bleeds
to see Jordan's return

197
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,613
to Cleveland in April of
'95, no one could stop me.

198
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,153
And of course, it added to my scrap book.

199
00:10:19,185 --> 00:10:21,685
(light music)

200
00:10:32,776 --> 00:10:35,210
And then two months later
my life changed forever

201
00:10:35,210 --> 00:10:37,120
when I became the youngest talk show host

202
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,080
ever hired at 610 WTVN.

203
00:10:40,283 --> 00:10:43,767

- [Caller] Yeah, are they animals toes

218

by a radio show host who can't get off

219
00:11:16,770 --> 00:11:18,470
the graveyard shift
'cause he only knows about

220
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:20,385
the Beatles and Michael Jordan?

221
00:11:20,385 --> 00:11:21,553
- You know how old I am, buddy?

222
00:11:22,755 --> 00:11:24,387
What were you doing at 19?

223
00:11:24,387 --> 00:11:25,720
- [Adam Voiceover] And of
course any chance I got,

224
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,950
I talked about Jordan.

225
00:11:26,950 --> 00:11:30,440
- Dislocated his index finger in the game.

226
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,710
Scared the crap outta me,
I was laying on the ground.

227
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:33,750
Like, oh god, he's hurt.

228
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:35,200
He's gone. He's done.

229
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,070
Because Michael was rolling
on the floor in tears, man.

230
00:11:39,070 --> 00:11:42,830
He was, he looked pretty, pretty hurt.

231
00:11:42,830 --> 00:11:45,470
Then he comes back and scores
16 in the second quarter

232
00:11:45,470 --> 00:11:47,910
and he's okay.

233
00:11:47,910 --> 00:11:49,030
- [Adam Voiceover] I
talked about him so much

234
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:51,040
someone finally called and said, you know,

235
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,780
you work at a radio station.

236
00:11:52,780 --> 00:11:54,620
Just ask for a press pass.

237
00:11:54,620 --> 00:11:56,260
So I did.

238
00:11:56,260 --> 00:11:57,463
And they gave me one!

239
00:11:58,370 --> 00:12:01,053
They gave a teenager a license to dream.

240
00:12:02,210 --> 00:12:04,440
And suddenly this dude's leg would be

241
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,913
where I would end up
watching an entire game.

242
00:12:08,220 --> 00:12:09,650
I pulled out my childhood camera

243
00:12:09,650 --> 00:12:12,603
and it was like my basketball
cards came to life.

244
00:12:13,881 --> 00:12:16,381
(light music)

245
00:12:40,417 --> 00:12:41,980
And then I remembered I had just bought

246
00:12:41,980 --> 00:12:45,003
a video camera that day, and turned it on.

253
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,481
You can't be there.

254
00:13:02,481 --> 00:13:05,743
You're gonna have to move off to the side.

255
00:13:05,743 --> 00:13:09,067
You're gonna have to go off to the side.

256
00:13:09,067 --> 00:13:11,165
- [Guy] This is where we're
supposed to be, right?

257
00:13:11,165 --> 00:13:13,509
- [Man] You're gonna have
to go off to the side.

258
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:15,974
We've got a lot of guys
that work in the front.

259
00:13:15,974 --> 00:13:18,420
- Is he yelling at you?

260
00:13:18,420 --> 00:13:20,390
- No, but that was when
I realized radio guys

261
00:13:20,390 --> 00:13:22,790
aren't supposed to sit on the court.

262
00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:26,573
And I just tried to hide.

263
00:13:27,468 --> 00:13:30,218
(crowd cheering)

264
00:13:47,423 --> 00:13:49,792
- [Phil] Go through!

265
00:13:49,792 --> 00:13:51,400
Go through.

266
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,050
- So how did you take this, then?

267
00:13:56,085 --> 00:13:59,883
- Basically, I put it in my lap like this.

268
00:14:02,255 --> 00:14:03,230
And it was not fun.

269
00:14:03,230 --> 00:14:05,740
But I figured if I just kept my head down,

270
00:14:05,740 --> 00:14:06,740
nobody would notice.

271
00:14:07,750 --> 00:14:08,583
I got lucky.

272
00:14:09,660 --> 00:14:12,310
You can actually see me in
the broadcast of the game.

273
00:14:13,418 --> 00:14:16,092
(whistle blowing)

274
00:14:16,092 --> 00:14:19,539
- [Announcer] Foul is on Steve Kerr.

275
00:14:19,539 --> 00:14:21,587
That's his first.

276
00:14:21,587 --> 00:14:24,337
(crowd cheering)

277
00:14:26,345 --> 00:14:28,614
(whistle blowing)

278
00:14:28,614 --> 00:14:30,447
Foul is on Steve Kerr.

279
00:14:32,180 --> 00:14:33,864
That's his first.

280
00:14:33,864 --> 00:14:36,364
(light music)

281
00:15:04,477 --> 00:15:06,834
Out of bounds, Chicago ball.

282
00:15:06,834 --> 00:15:08,563
- [Bench] All right, all
right one, three high.

283
00:15:08,563 --> 00:15:10,850
When I tell you man, you gotta listen.

284
00:15:10,850 --> 00:15:12,840
- [Adam] As I got settled
into the game I realized,

285
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,480
I couldn't keep following the ball

286
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,730
or the footage was gonna be awful.

287
00:15:16,730 --> 00:15:18,380
But it was so loud and the players

288
00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:21,710
were so close, I was actually scared.

289
00:15:21,710 --> 00:15:24,230
It's something you don't
feel when you're in the seats

290
00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:26,123
and most definitely not on TV.

291
00:15:27,942 --> 00:15:30,054
(whistle blowing)

292
00:15:30,054 --> 00:15:31,891

297
00:15:46,267 --> 00:15:47,665
Plenty of time.

298
00:15:47,665 --> 00:15:49,748
- [Player] Pitch it wide!

299
00:15:52,038 --> 00:15:53,748

300
00:15:53,748 --> 00:15:55,539

Get it out!

321
00:17:11,666 --> 00:17:13,833

(whistle blowing)

00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:30,443
What are you lookin' at?

335
00:18:30,443 --> 00:18:32,360

- That's the coach.

350
00:19:12,550 --> 00:19:15,540
He was yelling at the ref the whole game.

351
00:19:15,540 --> 00:19:16,590
Trying to get good calls.

352
00:19:16,590 --> 00:19:19,210
I had no idea Phil Jackson was this loud

353
00:19:19,210 --> 00:19:21,270
until that moment.

354
00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:22,103

coaches yelled during the game

360
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:33,590
but this seemed crazy.

361
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:35,950
Oh, and let me shout out
John Paxson real quick.

362
00:19:35,950 --> 00:19:38,330
When I got my press pass
and I saw Jordan enter

363
00:19:38,330 --> 00:19:40,730
the locker room, I immediately went in.

364
00:19:40,730 --> 00:19:43,240
Which was apparently the
incorrect thing to do

365
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,730
and Jerry Krause lost his mind at me

366
00:19:45,730 --> 00:19:47,870
and screamed for me to get out.

367
00:19:47,870 --> 00:19:49,820
Now, a part of me was
honored because he was

368
00:19:49,820 --> 00:19:52,770
an infamous jerk that
every Bulls fan hated.

369
00:19:52,770 --> 00:19:54,810
But while grabbing some
food Paxson came up

370
00:19:54,810 --> 00:19:58,310
to me and profusely apologized
for his general manager.

371
00:19:58,310 --> 00:19:59,820
He was genuinely embarrassed

372
00:19:59,820 --> 00:20:01,880
and signed an autograph for me.

373
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,680
The man who sealed the 3-peat in '93.

374
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,330
So cool.

375
00:20:06,330 --> 00:20:08,030
But yes, the coaches were nonstop.

376
00:20:08,865 --> 00:20:11,588
- Play the ball, play the ball!

377
00:20:11,588 --> 00:20:12,827
- Let's go, guys!

378
00:20:12,827 --> 00:20:13,660
- Pass D!

379
00:20:13,660 --> 00:20:14,743
- Go, go, go!

380
00:20:15,627 --> 00:20:17,410
- [Adam] And the Cavs
coach, Mike Fratello,

381
00:20:17,410 --> 00:20:20,224
he just seemed docile in comparison.

382
00:20:20,224 --> 00:20:22,474
- Offsides, John, offsides.

383
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,876
- [Phil] That's illegal.

384
00:20:27,876 --> 00:20:29,793
That's illegal defense!

385
00:20:31,642 --> 00:20:34,917
Do you know how to call a charge?

386
00:20:34,917 --> 00:20:37,750
(crowd murmuring)

387
00:20:39,528 --> 00:20:41,445
Move the ball, move it.

388
00:20:44,864 --> 00:20:45,781
Go through!

389
00:20:47,073 --> 00:20:48,406
Go through, Luc.

390
00:20:51,623 --> 00:20:53,873
Carry out, dive, Luc, dive!

391
00:20:55,941 --> 00:20:57,941
(whistle blowing)

392
00:20:57,941 --> 00:20:59,535
Come on!

393
00:20:59,535 --> 00:21:00,921
Luc!

394
00:21:00,921 --> 00:21:04,181
- [Announcer] Offensive foul
on number 13, Luc Longley.

395
00:21:04,181 --> 00:21:05,014
That's his first.

396
00:21:05,014 --> 00:21:07,097
- [Phil] Go through, Luc!

397
00:21:09,549 --> 00:21:10,799
Sync Luc, sync!

398
00:21:11,646 --> 00:21:12,479
God!

399
00:21:14,222 --> 00:21:15,228
Luc!

400
00:21:15,228 --> 00:21:17,100
- He's really mad at Luc.

401
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:19,410
- Yeah, Luc gets it the entire game.

402
00:21:19,410 --> 00:21:21,150
But they're making him a better player.

403
00:21:21,150 --> 00:21:22,968
- But they're being mean.

404
00:21:22,968 --> 00:21:23,801
- They're not being mean.

405
00:21:23,801 --> 00:21:25,790
They're just telling him when
he's missing his assignments.

406
00:21:25,790 --> 00:21:27,217
This is a championship team, man,

407
00:21:27,217 --> 00:21:29,170
you can't miss your assignments.

408
00:21:29,170 --> 00:21:32,323
Luc wants the coach to
tell him that, I think.

409
00:21:33,517 --> 00:21:36,350
(crowd murmuring)

410
00:21:40,355 --> 00:21:41,772
- [Phil] Hold it.

411
00:21:42,852 --> 00:21:43,992
- [Coach] Back up, back up!

412
00:21:43,992 --> 00:21:45,342
- [Phil] Dive, dive Luc.

413
00:21:45,342 --> 00:21:46,342
Look at him.

414
00:21:48,850 --> 00:21:49,683
Dive, Luc!

415
00:21:50,788 --> 00:21:52,542
- [Fan] Come on, Mike.

416
00:21:52,542 --> 00:21:53,658
- [Phil] Cut through.

417
00:21:53,658 --> 00:21:56,325
Keep Luc, keep hittin' him, Luc.

418
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:58,638
(whistling)

419
00:21:58,638 --> 00:21:59,471
Luc!

420
00:22:01,190 --> 00:22:02,107
Hold, hold!

421
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,863
- [Bench] There we are.

422
00:22:05,863 --> 00:22:08,721
- [Phil] Rebound, get at him!

423
00:22:08,721 --> 00:22:10,138
Are you watchin'?

424
00:22:12,116 --> 00:22:13,306
- [Bench] Right there in the middle!

425
00:22:13,306 --> 00:22:14,569
The middle!

426
00:22:14,569 --> 00:22:16,274
Why you aren't looking' at him, Luc!

427
00:22:16,274 --> 00:22:17,607
- [Phil] Charge.

428
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,977
- [Bench] Get home, get home.

429
00:22:23,977 --> 00:22:25,362
You see it?

430
00:22:25,362 --> 00:22:26,279
The middle!

431
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:29,669
- [Phil] You see that, you're too late.

432
00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:30,502
God, Luc!

433
00:22:32,890 --> 00:22:35,200
- [Adam] And then Jordan
came out of the game.

434
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,810
But the TV didn't cut away

435
00:22:36,810 --> 00:22:39,423
and he basically sat on
the couch next to me.

436
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,820
In 10 years of watching Bulls
games I never really saw

437
00:22:43,820 --> 00:22:45,310
how Jordan interacts on the bench

438
00:22:45,310 --> 00:22:47,133
or what happens during time outs.

439
00:22:48,380 --> 00:22:50,860
All that crowd noise started to fade

440
00:22:50,860 --> 00:22:53,063
and the wonder of the moment returned.

441
00:22:54,362 --> 00:22:56,862
(light music)

442
00:24:32,950 --> 00:24:35,300
Jordan was all business
but Pippen and Harper

443
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:37,881
were having the time of their lives.

444
00:24:37,881 --> 00:24:40,131
(cheering)

445
00:24:44,224 --> 00:24:45,141
- Heads up!

446
00:24:59,262 --> 00:25:01,765
- [Announcer] Cav's ball.

447
00:25:01,765 --> 00:25:05,899
For the Cavaliers number 11 John Crotty.

448
00:25:05,899 --> 00:25:08,732
(crowd murmuring)

449
00:25:18,910 --> 00:25:20,260
- [Adam] Yeah, did you catch that?

450
00:25:20,260 --> 00:25:21,920
Pippen not only looked in the camera

451
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,550
but can also see him thinking, wait,

452
00:25:24,550 --> 00:25:25,980
they're letting kids with camcorders

453
00:25:25,980 --> 00:25:26,853
on the floor now?

454
00:25:28,444 --> 00:25:32,444
- [Coach] Talk it out,
talk it out, talk it out.

455
00:25:35,485 --> 00:25:40,184
- [Bench] Shoot it, Harper!

456
00:25:40,184 --> 00:25:42,434
- [Announcer] Jason Caffey.

457
00:25:43,849 --> 00:25:47,640
- Let's go jerks, let's play some D.

458
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,640
(funky arena music)

459
00:25:58,305 --> 00:26:00,889
(buzzer)

460
00:26:00,889 --> 00:26:02,299
- [Announcer] Time out, Chicago.

461
00:26:02,299 --> 00:26:03,683
Bulls time out.

462
00:26:03,683 --> 00:26:06,433
(crowd cheering)

463
00:26:12,787 --> 00:26:14,360
Ladies and gentlemen let's see who's here

464
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:15,890
on tonight's fan cam.

465
00:26:18,246 --> 00:26:22,585
♪ Time out, come on♪

466
00:26:22,585 --> 00:26:25,085
(funky music)

467
00:26:29,503 --> 00:26:31,586
(buzzer)

468
00:26:39,427 --> 00:26:42,490
(crowd jeering)

469
00:26:42,490 --> 00:26:44,431
- [Phil] MJ, you're right back.

470
00:26:44,431 --> 00:26:47,694
- [Announcer] Offensive foul
on number 13, John Amaechi.

471
00:26:47,694 --> 00:26:48,527
- [Fan] Come on, dog, what's that?

472
00:26:48,527 --> 00:26:50,400
- [Announcer] That's his second.

473
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,830
No team foul.

474
00:26:51,830 --> 00:26:53,793
Michael Jordan returns for Chicago.

475
00:26:54,693 --> 00:26:57,443
(crowd cheering)

476
00:27:05,050 --> 00:27:06,530
- [Adam] Then when Jordan came back in,

477
00:27:06,530 --> 00:27:09,853
I instinctively grabbed
my childhood camera again.

478
00:27:11,030 --> 00:27:12,780
It's hilarious to me that I'm in a row

479
00:27:12,780 --> 00:27:14,130
of professional photographers

480
00:27:14,130 --> 00:27:16,600
with tens of thousands
of dollars of equipment

481
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,610
and here I am with a 50
dollar point and click.

482
00:27:20,610 --> 00:27:22,443
But therein lies the magic.

483
00:27:24,020 --> 00:27:26,353
These pictures look like my memories.

484
00:27:27,715 --> 00:27:30,215
(light music)

485
00:29:01,540 --> 00:29:02,683
- Wait, Jordan's 23.

486
00:29:04,353 --> 00:29:05,186
That's 45.

487
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:08,967
And that's 33.

488
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,591
- That's Scottie Pippen,
and that is Michael Jordan.

489
00:29:13,591 --> 00:29:15,000
- And they signed them.

490
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:15,833
- Yup.

491
00:29:15,833 --> 00:29:17,333
- Why 45?

492
00:29:17,333 --> 00:29:19,050
- That was his come back number

493
00:29:19,050 --> 00:29:21,570
and it meant the world to me.

494
00:29:21,570 --> 00:29:23,740
So I mentioned I was an
adult when he came back.

495
00:29:23,740 --> 00:29:26,500
But did I mention I was insane?

496
00:29:26,500 --> 00:29:29,310
I taped every single game
of his comeback season

497
00:29:29,310 --> 00:29:31,230
which meant begging local sports bars

498
00:29:31,230 --> 00:29:33,363
to let me record their satellite feeds.

499
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:37,990
I kept a journal documenting
every single moment.

500
00:29:37,990 --> 00:29:40,630
Mostly for my own therapy since
I lived in Buckeye country

501
00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:43,600
and no one was as fanatical
about it as I was.

502
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,320
The reason I was so nuts was
this overwhelming feeling

503
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,550
that I didn't appreciate his first run

504
00:29:48,550 --> 00:29:51,130
and I wasn't gonna let that happen again.

505
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:52,870
That's why I went into that locker room

506
00:29:52,870 --> 00:29:56,120
with a 45 jersey under my
clothes and risked my job

507
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,500
to have him sign it.

508
00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:58,930
And he wasn't too happy.

509
00:29:58,930 --> 00:30:00,620
- Was he mad at you?

510
00:30:00,620 --> 00:30:01,647
- Just disappointed.

511
00:30:01,647 --> 00:30:03,040
It was unprofessional.

512
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,320
I was supposed to be
working and I shouldn't

513
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,400
have asked for an autograph, but.

514
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,173
- You coulda lost your job?

515
00:30:10,150 --> 00:30:11,501
- Yeah.

516
00:30:11,501 --> 00:30:13,653
But I'd only had it for a
couple months at that point.

517
00:30:14,629 --> 00:30:15,929
And it was Michael Jordan.

518
00:30:16,813 --> 00:30:18,890
Uh, yeah, I probably
shouldn't have done that.

519
00:30:18,890 --> 00:30:20,350
Jordan didn't mince words with me.

520
00:30:20,350 --> 00:30:23,363
And I quote, you could lose
your stripes for this, dog.

521
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,040
And though I didn't have that on tape,

522
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,050
when I went back to the
locker room after the game,

523
00:30:28,050 --> 00:30:29,720
I caught him starting to scold

524
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,562
another young reporter
doing the same thing.

525
00:30:32,562 --> 00:30:34,071
- [Reporter] Can you sign this for me?

526
00:30:34,071 --> 00:30:35,115
- You're supposed to be working, man.

527
00:30:35,115 --> 00:30:37,400
You're not supposed to be getting an auto-

528
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,920
- [Adam] When I got to
the hallway I asked Pippen

529
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,210
for his autograph and he was very cool.

530
00:30:41,210 --> 00:30:43,480
And years later I realized it was quite

531
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,830
a famous section of the Gund Arena hallway

532
00:30:45,830 --> 00:30:47,603
outside the visiting locker room.

533
00:30:48,730 --> 00:30:50,423
This is where it all went down.

534
00:30:51,410 --> 00:30:53,330
Now, it wasn't my most professional moment

535
00:30:53,330 --> 00:30:56,600
and it kinda hurt that he felt less of me

536
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,200
but hey, he was kind
enough to sign my jersey

537
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,373
and 25 years later it's a family heirloom.

538
00:31:04,150 --> 00:31:06,650
(light music)

539
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,910
Now there's a school of
thought that we all need

540
00:31:11,910 --> 00:31:14,120
to put down our cameras
and just take in the moment

541
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,420
as things are happening.

542
00:31:15,420 --> 00:31:18,360
And I did indeed find myself so in awe

543
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,293
that I just watched as a fan.

544
00:31:21,164 --> 00:31:23,664
(light music)

545
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,610
But I have to say, I have
no memory of the game

546
00:31:28,610 --> 00:31:29,763
during these moments.

547
00:31:31,090 --> 00:31:33,840
25 years later these images are my memory

548
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,590
and I presume in another
25 years I may find

549
00:31:36,590 --> 00:31:38,490
it hard to believe this even happened.

550
00:31:40,420 --> 00:31:41,680
So although I'm glad I took

551
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,660
a few moments to just soak it in,

552
00:31:43,660 --> 00:31:47,090
I'm happier that those moments
were few and far between.

553
00:31:47,090 --> 00:31:50,493
Because that's Michael
Jordan walking towards me.

554
00:31:51,608 --> 00:31:54,108
(light music)

555
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,380
As the first half neared the end,

556
00:31:56,380 --> 00:31:58,820
I finally started to
concentrate on the game itself

557
00:31:58,820 --> 00:32:01,130
and not just the sights and sounds.

558
00:32:01,130 --> 00:32:03,030
I hadn't really paid
attention to how Jordan

559
00:32:03,030 --> 00:32:04,553
was doing until this moment.

560
00:32:05,729 --> 00:32:08,562
(crowd murmuring)

561
00:32:17,725 --> 00:32:20,399
- [Announcer] Foul on 23, Michael Jordan.

562
00:32:20,399 --> 00:32:22,493
That's his first.

563
00:32:22,493 --> 00:32:24,543
Terrell Brandon at the line for two.

564
00:32:26,666 --> 00:32:30,058
- [Heckler] Hey Jordan,
hey Michael, you're on six.

565
00:32:30,058 --> 00:32:32,808
That's okay, Bobby, shut it down.

566
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,220
- [Announcer] Steve
Kerr back for the Bulls.

567
00:32:42,263 --> 00:32:44,384
- [Heckler] Hey Michael,
how are the shoes?

568
00:32:44,384 --> 00:32:46,234
Go back to the old one.

569
00:32:46,234 --> 00:32:47,567
You look better.

570
00:32:48,625 --> 00:32:51,375
(crowd cheering)

571
00:32:54,363 --> 00:32:56,570
- [Adam] When I looked back
over my footage and pictures,

572
00:32:56,570 --> 00:32:58,890
I realized this fan had
been messing with Jordan

573
00:32:58,890 --> 00:33:00,380
during the entire game.

574
00:33:00,380 --> 00:33:01,983
Including pregame warmups.

575
00:33:02,818 --> 00:33:05,568
(crowd cheering)

576
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:15,857
And then you see the broadcast

577
00:33:15,857 --> 00:33:17,113
and he would stand up.

578
00:33:19,910 --> 00:33:21,480
I mean, he's an arm's length away

579
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:22,830
from Pippen when he stands.

580
00:33:24,162 --> 00:33:26,995
(crowd murmuring)

581
00:33:35,870 --> 00:33:37,655
- [Announcer] Foul on Terrell Brandon.

582
00:33:37,655 --> 00:33:38,488
That's his first.

583
00:33:38,488 --> 00:33:40,520
- [Adam] And if you listen closely,

584
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,903
he'd been yelling well
before the shoes line.

585
00:33:44,627 --> 00:33:46,273
- [Heckler] Hey Jordan, you always got

586
00:33:46,273 --> 00:33:48,112
a night to leave him alone.

587
00:33:48,112 --> 00:33:48,945
Go easy!

588
00:33:49,979 --> 00:33:51,780
- [Adam] I guess he's
talking about Majerle here

589
00:33:51,780 --> 00:33:53,110
but if you know Jordan,

590
00:33:53,110 --> 00:33:55,860
he's certainly not leaving Majerle alone.

591
00:33:55,860 --> 00:33:58,760
He infamously liked torturing
him when he was on the Suns.

592
00:34:01,580 --> 00:34:03,590
Now, Jordan was having a quiet first half

593
00:34:03,590 --> 00:34:05,310
with only six points in the first quarter

594
00:34:05,310 --> 00:34:06,530
and zero in the second.

595
00:34:06,530 --> 00:34:08,750
Only attempting one shot.

596
00:34:08,750 --> 00:34:10,710
He really didn't seem very engaged

597
00:34:10,710 --> 00:34:13,260
and to be fair, Bobby Phills
was a really great defender.

598
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:14,960
- [Announcer] 24 seconds to shoot.

599
00:34:16,170 --> 00:34:17,660
- [Adam] Sadly, he died in a car crash

600
00:34:17,660 --> 00:34:19,533
a little over four years after this.

601
00:34:20,460 --> 00:34:21,293
Such a shock.

602
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,610
And Jordan wasn't the only
guy getting screamed at.

603
00:34:27,610 --> 00:34:28,950
Rodman was out with an injury

604
00:34:28,950 --> 00:34:30,640
and Pippen was picking up his slack.

605
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,913
Which brought the heckler's wrath on him.

606
00:34:35,339 --> 00:34:37,230
(whistle blowing)

607
00:34:37,230 --> 00:34:38,680
- [Announcer] Scottie Pippen.

608
00:34:41,310 --> 00:34:43,860
Foul on number nine, Dan Majerle.

609
00:34:43,860 --> 00:34:44,863
That's his first.

610
00:34:47,580 --> 00:34:48,510
Team first.

611
00:34:48,510 --> 00:34:49,860
Scottie Pippen at the line.

612
00:34:51,250 --> 00:34:52,200
- [Bench] One shot.

613
00:34:57,150 --> 00:34:59,542
- [Heckler] Hey Scottie,
you should've got a T.

614
00:34:59,542 --> 00:35:01,443
You were hanging onto the ref.

615
00:35:01,443 --> 00:35:02,520
We all know.

616
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,520
- [Phil] Tend D, get out, get out, Tony.

617
00:35:08,141 --> 00:35:09,970
- [Adam] Whew, man he
is lucky he didn't get

618
00:35:09,970 --> 00:35:11,987
that ball thrown right back at him.

619
00:35:14,875 --> 00:35:17,958
- Hey Michael, it's all in the shoes!

620
00:35:19,693 --> 00:35:21,110
Come on, Majerle!

621
00:35:25,397 --> 00:35:27,310
- [Bench] Get up, let's go!

622
00:35:27,310 --> 00:35:29,891
- [Adam] And then Jordan fouls Brandon.

623
00:35:29,891 --> 00:35:31,684
(whistle blowing)

624
00:35:31,684 --> 00:35:34,443
And that's when the heckler
takes it one step too far.

625
00:35:38,084 --> 00:35:40,917
(crowd murmuring)

626
00:35:46,380 --> 00:35:49,345
- [Announcer] Foul on 23, Michael Jordan.

627
00:35:49,345 --> 00:35:51,433
That's his first.

628
00:35:51,433 --> 00:35:53,717
Terrell Brandon at the line for two.

629
00:35:55,831 --> 00:35:56,812
- [Heckler] Hey Jordan!

630
00:35:56,812 --> 00:35:59,059
Hey Michael, you're all washed up!

631
00:35:59,059 --> 00:36:02,142
That's the way, Bobby, shut him down!

632
00:36:05,144 --> 00:36:08,811
- [Announcer] Steve
Kerr back for the Bulls.

633
00:36:11,081 --> 00:36:13,030
- [Heckler] Hey Michael, how's the shoes?

634
00:36:13,030 --> 00:36:15,163
Go back to the old ones.

635
00:36:15,163 --> 00:36:16,496
You were better!

636
00:36:20,170 --> 00:36:23,503
- [Fan] Hey Jordan, your shoes are ugly!

637
00:36:24,438 --> 00:36:27,688
- [Heckler] Bobby Phills, you're great.

638
00:36:31,916 --> 00:36:34,657
- Were the shoes ugly, dad?

639
00:36:34,657 --> 00:36:35,563
- Uh, no.

640
00:36:41,010 --> 00:36:43,610
So I own two special pairs of shoes.

641
00:36:43,610 --> 00:36:45,110
You guys know about the first.

642
00:36:47,104 --> 00:36:49,010
These are the Nike Mags.

643
00:36:49,010 --> 00:36:51,290
And these are not the crappy ones I keep

644
00:36:51,290 --> 00:36:53,700
in the time machine,
these are the real ones.

645
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:55,633
And the other pair of special shoes

646
00:36:55,633 --> 00:37:00,633
that I own are those ugly Concord 11's

647
00:37:00,980 --> 00:37:05,153
which are actually the most
famous Jordan shoes ever.

648
00:37:08,643 --> 00:37:09,476
- Whoa.

649
00:37:09,476 --> 00:37:10,411
- Aren't those awesome?

650
00:37:10,411 --> 00:37:11,244
- Whoa.

651
00:37:11,244 --> 00:37:12,077
- Yeah.

652
00:37:12,077 --> 00:37:14,323
And they have a special 45 on the back.

653
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,980
Of all the shoes this man could

654
00:37:17,980 --> 00:37:22,050
have made fun of, he chose
the holy grail of Air Jordans.

655
00:37:22,050 --> 00:37:25,940
The most sought after,
most celebrated Jordans.

656
00:37:25,940 --> 00:37:28,550
The Jordans you can wear to church.

657
00:37:28,550 --> 00:37:30,640
Your grand mama says, look nice for Jesus,

658
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,560
put on your Concord 11's.

659
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,070
Jordan wears these to weddings in a tuxedo

660
00:37:35,070 --> 00:37:36,710
for crying out loud.

661
00:37:36,710 --> 00:37:38,993
The literal height of fashion.

662
00:37:40,220 --> 00:37:42,620
Then again, this dude's
struggling in that area.

663
00:37:44,524 --> 00:37:47,260
I mean I almost hate to
immortalize him forever in film

664
00:37:47,260 --> 00:37:49,950
but once you see how all this plays out,

665
00:37:49,950 --> 00:37:50,850
you'll understand.

666
00:37:51,860 --> 00:37:54,360
(funky music)

667
00:37:57,515 --> 00:37:59,930
- Would you like to wear them?

668
00:37:59,930 --> 00:38:01,530
- Unfortunately, I can't wear them.

669
00:38:01,530 --> 00:38:02,580
- Why?

670
00:38:02,580 --> 00:38:03,880
- These are dead stock.

671
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,640
That means they've never been worn,

672
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,473
never been touched.

673
00:38:06,473 --> 00:38:08,290
They're worth like over 500 dollars.

674
00:38:08,290 --> 00:38:09,230
- Over 500?

675
00:38:09,230 --> 00:38:12,130
- Yeah, so you don't wear these.

676
00:38:12,130 --> 00:38:13,870
- What's the point of
owning a pair of shoes

677
00:38:13,870 --> 00:38:15,880
if you don't even wear 'em?

678
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:16,880
- Um...

679
00:38:18,686 --> 00:38:20,391
That's a good point.

680
00:38:20,391 --> 00:38:22,690
Uh, I have no idea, anyway let's watch

681
00:38:22,690 --> 00:38:25,234
how he deals with this heckler.

682
00:38:25,234 --> 00:38:27,261
- [Announcer] Cavs ball.

683
00:38:27,261 --> 00:38:29,641
1.8 seconds remaining.

684
00:38:29,641 --> 00:38:30,558
Here we go.

685
00:38:38,104 --> 00:38:40,533
- [Heckler] He was going to the basket!

686
00:38:40,533 --> 00:38:42,616
You guys can't guard him!

687
00:38:47,746 --> 00:38:49,780
(buzzer)

688
00:38:49,780 --> 00:38:50,940
- [Announcer] At the half
the score of the Chicago--

689
00:38:50,940 --> 00:38:52,540
- [Adam] So that ended the half.

690
00:38:53,550 --> 00:38:55,280
And during halftime the Cavs premiered

691
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:56,933
their new mascot, Whammer.

(cheering)

699
00:39:24,180 --> 00:39:26,553
- [Adam] I wish I could
tell you this gets better.

700
00:39:27,410 --> 00:39:30,180
But this is still eight
years before they got Lebron.

701
00:39:30,180 --> 00:39:33,503
And well, Cleveland's gonna Cleveland.

(cheering)

706
00:39:56,661 --> 00:39:59,494
(crowd murmuring)

707
00:40:12,034 --> 00:40:13,320
So the Bulls come back I decide

708
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:14,640
to try out the snap shot feature

709
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,010
a bit during warmups.

710
00:40:17,137 --> 00:40:20,220
(upbeat arena music)

711
00:41:03,922 --> 00:41:06,755
(whistle blowing)

712
00:41:16,776 --> 00:41:19,026
- [Announcer] Bobby Phills.

713
00:41:20,542 --> 00:41:23,042
(organ music)

714
00:41:26,430 --> 00:41:27,940
- [Adam] I cannot tell you how happy I am

715
00:41:27,940 --> 00:41:29,970
that I realized this was awful

716
00:41:29,970 --> 00:41:31,883
before I ruined any important shots.

717
00:41:34,061 --> 00:41:36,894
(whistle blowing)

718
00:41:38,910 --> 00:41:40,873
- [Announcer] Foul on 44, Michael Cage.

719
00:41:41,770 --> 00:41:43,413
That's his first, team first.

720
00:41:45,850 --> 00:41:48,200
- [Adam] So Jordan starts
to get more involved.

721
00:41:51,860 --> 00:41:55,085
- [Announcer] Michael Jordan.

722
00:41:55,085 --> 00:41:58,668
- [Bench] That's a good
shot baby, come on.

723
00:42:02,224 --> 00:42:04,641
- [Announcer] Michael Jordan.

724
00:42:07,522 --> 00:42:10,293
- [Coach] Time out, time out!

725
00:42:10,293 --> 00:42:12,392
- [Adam] And not just in scoring.

726
00:42:12,392 --> 00:42:15,142
- [Announcer] Cavaliers time out.

727
00:42:18,059 --> 00:42:21,142
(upbeat arena music)

728
00:42:28,133 --> 00:42:30,820
- [Adam] Jordan and Phil were
masters of planting seeds

729
00:42:30,820 --> 00:42:32,820
throughout a game to get calls later on.

730
00:42:34,740 --> 00:42:37,000
And literally the very next play

731
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,173
after this timeout.

732
00:42:39,164 --> 00:42:41,997
(crowd murmuring)

733
00:42:46,843 --> 00:42:49,676
(whistle blowing)

734
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,180
Of course, the kid in me is thrilled

735
00:42:57,180 --> 00:43:00,420
as my Jordan at the line
picture meant so much

736
00:43:00,420 --> 00:43:01,790
to me when I took it.

737
00:43:01,790 --> 00:43:04,470
And now I was actually
filming him at the line.

738
00:43:05,732 --> 00:43:08,482
(crowd cheering)

739
00:43:13,006 --> 00:43:14,690
These were the only
two free throws he shot

740
00:43:14,690 --> 00:43:16,150
the entire game.

741
00:43:16,150 --> 00:43:17,850
Which I thought was gonna
be a problem for them

742
00:43:17,850 --> 00:43:20,013
because the Cavs were stepping up.

743
00:43:21,707 --> 00:43:24,457
(crowd cheering)

744
00:43:28,950 --> 00:43:32,353
And unfortunately, some of
Jordan's team mates were not.

745
00:43:34,657 --> 00:43:36,657
- [Announcer] Cavs ball.

746
00:43:39,392 --> 00:43:41,979
♪ Hey, ho, let's go♪

747
00:43:41,979 --> 00:43:44,729
(crowd cheering)

748
00:43:59,873 --> 00:44:02,330
- [Adam] This may have made
the heckler pretty happy.

749
00:44:02,330 --> 00:44:05,270
But it made Jordan and Pippen take over.

750
00:44:07,003 --> 00:44:09,753
(crowd cheering)

751
00:44:12,977 --> 00:44:16,571
- [Announcer] Michael Jordan for three.

752
00:44:16,571 --> 00:44:19,321
(crowd cheering)

753
00:44:50,106 --> 00:44:52,363
- [Bench] That's a foul, 41!

754
00:44:52,363 --> 00:44:53,446
Come on, man.

755
00:44:54,568 --> 00:44:57,318
(crowd cheering)

756
00:45:08,418 --> 00:45:11,668
- [Announcer] Michael Jordan for three.

757
00:45:14,736 --> 00:45:18,319
Two minutes remaining
in the third quarter.

758
00:45:26,252 --> 00:45:29,002
(crowd cheering)

759
00:45:37,403 --> 00:45:38,236
Scottie Pippen.

760
00:45:38,236 --> 00:45:39,600
- Oh wait, wait, you gotta see this.

761
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,315
You gotta see this.

762
00:45:41,315 --> 00:45:43,815
(light music)

763
00:45:45,265 --> 00:45:47,100
All right, see this basketball card?

764
00:45:47,100 --> 00:45:49,297
That was taken right at that moment.

765
00:45:51,447 --> 00:45:53,947
(light music)

766
00:45:56,759 --> 00:45:59,504
(crowd cheering)

767
00:45:59,504 --> 00:46:01,407
- [Announcer] Scottie Pippen.

768
00:46:01,407 --> 00:46:03,030
- What, it looks brand new.

769
00:46:03,030 --> 00:46:05,050
- Yeah, see this is what
this video would look like

770
00:46:05,050 --> 00:46:06,200
if I had a real camera.

771
00:46:07,676 --> 00:46:09,687
(crowd cheering)

772
00:46:09,687 --> 00:46:12,128
- [Announcer] Time out, Cleveland.

773
00:46:12,128 --> 00:46:14,545
Cavaliers 20 second time out.

774
00:46:18,810 --> 00:46:20,470
- [Adam] Oh, and on the subject of Pippen,

775
00:46:20,470 --> 00:46:21,690
with these free throws he had

776
00:46:21,690 --> 00:46:23,570
a triple-double in the third quarter.

777
00:46:23,570 --> 00:46:26,523
Ending up with 18, 13, and 12.

778
00:46:27,366 --> 00:46:28,330
I feel like he gets dismissed

779
00:46:28,330 --> 00:46:29,820
because Jordan's light was so bright

780
00:46:29,820 --> 00:46:32,440
but at the time, we all felt Scottie

781
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,050
was the second best player in the league,

782
00:46:34,050 --> 00:46:35,600
not just this team.

783
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,250
He did everything.

784
00:46:37,250 --> 00:46:38,620
And was the best support system

785
00:46:38,620 --> 00:46:41,270
for a pure scorer like Jordan
that there's ever been.

786
00:46:42,552 --> 00:46:44,470
And then with Rodman
simply wanting to rebound

787
00:46:44,470 --> 00:46:46,820
and give it to others to score.

788
00:46:46,820 --> 00:46:49,180
I mean, that team was
a perfect storm managed

789
00:46:49,180 --> 00:46:50,563
by a brilliant coach.

790
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,793
What a thing to witness.

791
00:46:53,793 --> 00:46:57,000
- [Announcer] Foul is on
Randy Brown, his third.

792
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,037
Team second.

793
00:46:59,823 --> 00:47:02,740
Danny Ferry back for the Cavaliers.

794
00:47:05,391 --> 00:47:08,224
- [Phil] Come on, MJ, come on Jud.

795
00:47:12,973 --> 00:47:15,254
- [Announcer] Jud Buechler, Michael Jordan

796
00:47:15,254 --> 00:47:17,233
back for Chicago.

797
00:47:17,233 --> 00:47:20,440
(crowd cheering)

798
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,520
- [Adam] So Jordan comes back
in, giving Scottie a rest,

799
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,447
and the fan is still jawing.

800
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:32,337
- [Heckler] Hey Jud, we're
gonna use the same lineup.

801
00:47:33,551 --> 00:47:36,384
(crowd murmuring)

802
00:47:53,878 --> 00:47:55,951
(crowd cheering)

803
00:47:55,951 --> 00:47:58,809
- [Announcer] Michael Jordan for three.

804
00:47:58,809 --> 00:48:02,059
Time out Cleveland. Cavaliers time out.

805
00:48:03,164 --> 00:48:05,997
(crowd murmuring)

806
00:48:29,819 --> 00:48:31,169
(whistle blowing)

807
00:48:31,169 --> 00:48:33,169
- [Announcer] Cavs ball.

808
00:48:34,493 --> 00:48:35,990
- [Adam] Man, that look when Jordan

809
00:48:35,990 --> 00:48:37,493
is disappointed with you.

810
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,250
I know how you feel, Kukoc.

811
00:48:48,978 --> 00:48:51,224
Made that fan happy, though.

812
00:48:51,224 --> 00:48:54,377
(crowd murmuring)

813
00:48:54,377 --> 00:48:57,627
- [Bench] Same play, same play, charge.

814
00:48:59,491 --> 00:49:01,447
Here he comes, Jud, he's coming back.

815
00:49:01,447 --> 00:49:02,690
- [Adam] All of this leading to one

816
00:49:02,690 --> 00:49:05,130
of the most memorable answers to a heckler

817
00:49:05,130 --> 00:49:06,300
I've ever seen.

818
00:49:08,295 --> 00:49:10,295
- [Phil] Come on, Michael.

819
00:49:10,295 --> 00:49:14,462
- [Heckler] Hey Michael,
ya got 20 is that enough?

820
00:49:19,900 --> 00:49:21,960
(buzzer)

821
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,377
- [Announcer] Michael Jordan.

822
00:49:26,656 --> 00:49:27,638
- [Bench] Nice shot.

823
00:49:27,638 --> 00:49:30,100
Steve, talk, talk, talk!

824
00:49:30,100 --> 00:49:31,720
- [Adam] Now at this
point I still wasn't sure

825
00:49:31,720 --> 00:49:33,830
if Jordan heard all of
this or if he was just so

826
00:49:33,830 --> 00:49:35,931
in the moment he blocked it out.

827
00:49:35,931 --> 00:49:36,870
- [Announcer] Bobby Phills.

828
00:49:36,870 --> 00:49:40,120
- [Adam] After this shot
to go up 16, however,

829
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:41,063
I got my answer.

830
00:49:45,168 --> 00:49:46,738
(crowd cheering)

831
00:49:46,738 --> 00:49:49,988
- [Announcer] Michael Jordan for three.

832
00:49:52,530 --> 00:49:53,830
- [Adam] He literally points at him

833
00:49:53,830 --> 00:49:55,903
and yells right back.

834
00:50:00,512 --> 00:50:01,800
Now, I've slowed this down as much

835
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,010
as possible because I'm
dying to know what he said

836
00:50:04,010 --> 00:50:07,380
and the only part I can
make out is, keep talking.

837
00:50:07,380 --> 00:50:08,213
Keep talking.

838
00:50:09,750 --> 00:50:10,583
Keep talking.

839
00:50:12,141 --> 00:50:14,641
(funky music)

840
00:50:16,408 --> 00:50:18,230
And the fan does.

841
00:50:18,230 --> 00:50:19,883
He gets right back in his face.

842
00:50:24,170 --> 00:50:26,210
Dude is uncomfortably close to Jordan here

843
00:50:26,210 --> 00:50:28,810
and I'm actually stunned
the ref didn't talk to him.

844
00:50:32,130 --> 00:50:34,440
But after this, MJ knew
the game was sealed

845
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:35,410
and he was in good spirits.

846
00:50:35,410 --> 00:50:37,117
- [Announcer] Foul is on Michael Jordan.

847
00:50:37,117 --> 00:50:39,311
- [Adam] It was the only
time I saw him smile

848
00:50:39,311 --> 00:50:40,144
the whole game.

849
00:50:40,144 --> 00:50:43,015
- [Announcer] That's his
third penalty situation.

850
00:50:43,015 --> 00:50:45,848
(crowd murmuring)

851
00:50:48,904 --> 00:50:50,265
Chris mills at the line.

852
00:50:50,265 --> 00:50:52,938
One, plus the penalty for two.

853
00:50:52,938 --> 00:50:55,771
(crowd murmuring)

854
00:51:06,934 --> 00:51:10,358
- [Phil] All right here we go, five pass.

855
00:51:10,358 --> 00:51:11,953
- [Fan] Michael!

856
00:51:11,953 --> 00:51:14,203
- [Phil] Reverse five pass.

857
00:51:17,337 --> 00:51:18,254
- Let's go.

858
00:51:19,496 --> 00:51:23,157
- [Phil] Gotta push it up, push it up.

859
00:51:23,157 --> 00:51:24,990
One, two, three, pass.

860
00:51:26,745 --> 00:51:27,578
Four.

861
00:51:28,756 --> 00:51:29,589
Five.

862
00:51:37,279 --> 00:51:39,170
(crowd cheering)

863
00:51:39,170 --> 00:51:42,161
- [Announcer] Michael Jordan.

864
00:51:42,161 --> 00:51:43,680
- [Bench] Kerr, it's the ball.

865
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,778
- [Phil] Heads up, isolation play.

866
00:51:45,778 --> 00:51:46,960
- [Bench] Screen low, screen low!

867
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,310
- [Adam] The Cavs were
still scrapping, though.

868
00:51:54,218 --> 00:51:56,139
(cheering)

869
00:51:56,139 --> 00:51:58,642
- [Announcer] Bobby Phills.

870
00:51:58,642 --> 00:52:01,392
(crowd cheering)

871
00:52:04,227 --> 00:52:06,150
- [Adam] But it made little difference

872
00:52:06,150 --> 00:52:09,293
as MJ gets his 23rd point of the half.

873
00:52:13,595 --> 00:52:16,012
- [Announcer] Michael Jordan.

874
00:52:19,335 --> 00:52:20,860
(buzzer)

875
00:52:20,860 --> 00:52:23,263
No shot, 24 second violation.

876
00:52:26,437 --> 00:52:27,560
- [Adam] He goes to the bench

877
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,210
and you see him look over at the fan

878
00:52:29,210 --> 00:52:30,303
who is still talking.

879
00:52:32,594 --> 00:52:34,850
And realized at the time
I couldn't see his face

880
00:52:34,850 --> 00:52:36,350
when he was jawing at the fan.

881
00:52:37,300 --> 00:52:39,493
Oh, but I saw this.

882
00:52:42,016 --> 00:52:43,034
- [Announcer] Two minutes.

883
00:52:43,034 --> 00:52:47,130
Less than two minutes
remaining, fourth quarter.

884
00:52:47,130 --> 00:52:48,340
- [Adam] I couldn't believe
I was capturing this

885
00:52:48,340 --> 00:52:50,140
and zoomed over to see his reaction.

886
00:52:51,939 --> 00:52:54,670
- [Announcer] Jason Caffey.

887
00:52:54,670 --> 00:52:56,540
- [Adam] Listen, I know Jordan's infamous

888
00:52:56,540 --> 00:52:58,230
about taking things personal.

889
00:52:58,230 --> 00:52:59,630
But it still blows my mind

890
00:52:59,630 --> 00:53:00,820
that he would take something personal

891
00:53:00,820 --> 00:53:02,963
from someone so inconsequential.

892
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:09,390
But years later I looked him up

893
00:53:09,390 --> 00:53:13,270
and his name was Eddie Nahra
and he was infamous for this.

894
00:53:13,270 --> 00:53:14,690
The heckler.

895
00:53:14,690 --> 00:53:16,100
Every Cavs player knew him

896
00:53:16,100 --> 00:53:17,550
and he'd always show up to big games

897
00:53:17,550 --> 00:53:20,373
with a court side seat and
berate the opposing team.

898
00:53:21,550 --> 00:53:23,920
He did the same at college
and high school games

899
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,920
and rumor has it he did
this at a hockey game

900
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,253
and a Buffalo player
clocked him in the eye.

901
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,590
And what seems especially cruel

902
00:53:31,590 --> 00:53:36,053
is he died in 2002, the year
before the Cavs got Lebron.

903
00:53:37,510 --> 00:53:39,323
So he never got to see 'em win it.

904
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,010
But thank you, Eddie, because you created

905
00:53:46,010 --> 00:53:48,030
an indelible memory for me.

906
00:53:48,030 --> 00:53:50,880
And now countless people get
to see Jordan spar with you.

907
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,420
I'm thrilled I was able
to put this together

908
00:53:54,420 --> 00:53:56,343
and immortalize your devotion.

909
00:53:58,540 --> 00:54:00,393
But yeah, shut up, dude.

910
00:54:02,736 --> 00:54:04,286
- I'm gonna go play basketball.

911
00:54:06,010 --> 00:54:07,180
- Okay.

912
00:54:07,180 --> 00:54:08,330
And then I got to go back into

913
00:54:08,330 --> 00:54:09,880
the locker room after the game.

914
00:54:12,550 --> 00:54:14,673
- [Reporter] Saving it all
up for the second half?

915
00:54:16,032 --> 00:54:17,505
- Two halves to a game.

916
00:54:17,505 --> 00:54:20,277
You know, I think the first half I was,

917
00:54:20,277 --> 00:54:23,332
you know, I really wasn't
in the game that much.

918
00:54:23,332 --> 00:54:25,190
So I felt real rested in the second half.

919
00:54:25,190 --> 00:54:26,140
- [Reporter] I know they rotate

920
00:54:26,140 --> 00:54:27,650
and double a lot on defense

921
00:54:27,650 --> 00:54:29,910
but were you surprised they
were leaving you open so much

922
00:54:29,910 --> 00:54:30,900
on the 3-point line?

923
00:54:30,900 --> 00:54:31,830
- I don't think they could find me.

924
00:54:31,830 --> 00:54:34,025
Second half I was more
at the top, you know,

925
00:54:34,025 --> 00:54:36,580
and before I was in the post
they were double teaming me

926
00:54:36,580 --> 00:54:38,730
and it was easy for them to stay on me.

927
00:54:38,730 --> 00:54:40,267
And then when I got outta the post

928
00:54:40,267 --> 00:54:41,790
and was able to move around a little bit

929
00:54:41,790 --> 00:54:42,700
it made it tough for them to try

930
00:54:42,700 --> 00:54:43,800
and keep an eye on me.

931
00:54:44,847 --> 00:54:46,783
But in the post the first half they did

932
00:54:46,783 --> 00:54:48,740
a good job of getting
the ball out of my hands.

933
00:54:48,740 --> 00:54:49,580
- [Reporter] Michael, that run at the end

934
00:54:49,580 --> 00:54:51,372
of the third quarter into the fourth

935
00:54:51,372 --> 00:54:53,199
it kind of really
separated you guys tonight.

936
00:54:53,199 --> 00:54:55,490
It really kind of took off after that.

937
00:54:55,490 --> 00:54:56,954
- Well, I think in the second half

938
00:54:56,954 --> 00:54:58,804
we really had a couple good stretches

939
00:55:00,030 --> 00:55:01,020
throughout the second half.

940
00:55:01,020 --> 00:55:03,442
And then we were able to, as you said,

941
00:55:03,442 --> 00:55:05,050
separate ourselves from them.

942
00:55:05,050 --> 00:55:06,460
Rebounding wise, open court, you know

943
00:55:06,460 --> 00:55:09,380
we were able to get some
penetration to the defense

944
00:55:09,380 --> 00:55:11,933
and we really put some pressure on them.

945
00:55:11,933 --> 00:55:14,350
- [Reporter] You got nice bench
help tonight too, didn't ya?

946
00:55:14,350 --> 00:55:16,720
- Yeah, everyone contributed off the bench

947
00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:20,170
and Steve Kerr came in and
gave us some good minutes

948
00:55:20,170 --> 00:55:21,800
and Jud Buechler came in.

949
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:23,718
Dickey Simpkins stepped
in the starting lineup

950
00:55:23,718 --> 00:55:24,551
and gave us a few minutes.

951
00:55:24,551 --> 00:55:28,625
So I think that's the
good sign for this team

952
00:55:28,625 --> 00:55:30,329
is to be able to expand your roles

953
00:55:30,329 --> 00:55:31,980
when one player's not in the game.

954
00:55:31,980 --> 00:55:34,000
And you know, be very productive.

955
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,330
- [Reporter] Can you
feel anything this early

956
00:55:35,330 --> 00:55:38,560
about this team, it's still
very early in the season,

957
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,440
about where this team
is going at this point?

958
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,210
- Well, I think as you see, we've learned

959
00:55:43,210 --> 00:55:45,420
how to expand our roles
in situations like that.

960
00:55:45,420 --> 00:55:46,450
So that's a good sign.

961
00:55:46,450 --> 00:55:48,080
Defensively we're showing great signs

962
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,067
where we can clamp down teams

963
00:55:50,067 --> 00:55:52,360
and make a difference between them and us.

964
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,330
So, we're showing good signs.

965
00:55:54,330 --> 00:55:56,060
Are we where we wanna be? No.

966
00:55:56,060 --> 00:55:57,780
The way we're doing it,

967
00:55:57,780 --> 00:56:00,130
I think we have to do that
consistently throughout the game.

968
00:56:00,130 --> 00:56:02,009
- [Reporter] Wait, so
how about Bobby Phills?

969
00:56:02,009 --> 00:56:03,050
He seems like he's kinda
playing ya better and better

970
00:56:03,050 --> 00:56:04,631
as time's going by.

971
00:56:04,631 --> 00:56:05,630
Can you comment on that?

972
00:56:05,630 --> 00:56:07,450
- Well, I think, you know, the difference

973
00:56:07,450 --> 00:56:09,963
between him and Ehlo
or whatever, you know,

974
00:56:09,963 --> 00:56:12,250
Ehlo in the time that I was
playing here in Cleveland,

975
00:56:12,250 --> 00:56:13,400
they never double teamed.

976
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:14,990
Here he knows he's got double team coming.

977
00:56:14,990 --> 00:56:19,045
So, he plays pretty sturdy
and very solid in the post

978
00:56:19,045 --> 00:56:20,128
and wherever.

979
00:56:21,364 --> 00:56:23,019
Second half I was able to get him in

980
00:56:23,019 --> 00:56:26,960
an open court situation
where I could get at--

981
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,590
- [Adam] So I debated
whether to mention this

982
00:56:28,590 --> 00:56:31,200
but considering you can
literally see Scottie trying

983
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,330
to put his pants on and mind you I'm not

984
00:56:33,330 --> 00:56:36,470
the only camera rolling,
it bears mentioning,

985
00:56:36,470 --> 00:56:39,870
post game locker room
interviews are insane.

986
00:56:39,870 --> 00:56:41,950
And in the '90s it became a massive debate

987
00:56:41,950 --> 00:56:43,500
after the Zeke Mowatt incident.

988
00:56:44,350 --> 00:56:46,640
Everyone wanted to focus
on female reporters

989
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,580
in the locker room but the truth is,

990
00:56:48,580 --> 00:56:50,713
none of us should be in the locker room.

991
00:56:51,740 --> 00:56:54,270
Before this Scottie came
out in just a towel.

992
00:56:54,270 --> 00:56:57,530
And a female reporter and
I saw way, way, way more

993
00:56:57,530 --> 00:56:59,870
than we should have and
promptly turned our heads

994
00:56:59,870 --> 00:57:01,110
out of respect.

995
00:57:01,110 --> 00:57:03,820
It was wildly uncomfortable
but the only way

996
00:57:03,820 --> 00:57:06,290
any of us could do our job.

997
00:57:06,290 --> 00:57:09,080
25 years later, this is
somehow still a thing

998
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,350
and I'll never understand it.

999
00:57:11,350 --> 00:57:13,860
For bigger games they simply
setup a press conference

1000
00:57:13,860 --> 00:57:15,850
and the players come there
after they're dressed

1001
00:57:15,850 --> 00:57:18,750
for a controlled question
and answer period.

1002
00:57:18,750 --> 00:57:20,330
And now because of COVID,

1003
00:57:20,330 --> 00:57:22,550
I have to wonder if the days
of locker room interviews

1004
00:57:22,550 --> 00:57:24,000
are going to be a thing of the past

1005
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,180
once athletes get used to not being forced

1006
00:57:26,180 --> 00:57:29,990
into corners and grilled
before even getting dressed.

1007
00:57:29,990 --> 00:57:33,670
It's a wildly unnecessary
relic of the past.

1008
00:57:33,670 --> 00:57:34,970
Hopefully.

1009
00:57:34,970 --> 00:57:35,960
- [Reporter] Pippen
picked up the rebounding

1010
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,800
slot without Rodman, he had 13 tonight.

1011
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:40,610
Is he a better rebounder now than when

1012
00:57:40,610 --> 00:57:42,530
you were playing before
is it just the fact

1013
00:57:42,530 --> 00:57:44,030
that he had other rebounders back then?

1014
00:57:44,030 --> 00:57:45,303
- We had other rebounders back then.

1015
00:57:45,303 --> 00:57:47,660
I think he didn't really
have to it as often

1016
00:57:47,660 --> 00:57:49,280
with Parks and with Bill.

1017
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,340
You know, I think he's been able to always

1018
00:57:52,340 --> 00:57:55,210
expand his roles and I think that's a sign

1019
00:57:55,210 --> 00:57:56,930
of greatness for him.

1020
00:57:56,930 --> 00:57:59,490
And tonight he expanded his, you know,

1021
00:57:59,490 --> 00:58:01,650
rebounding area and
certainly in assists there.

1022
00:58:01,650 --> 00:58:03,100
- [Reporter] Michael, when you don't have

1023
00:58:03,100 --> 00:58:04,977
a first half that's a good one,

1024
00:58:04,977 --> 00:58:06,760
do you just say to yourself at halftime

1025
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,300
or some point in the second half, like,

1026
00:58:08,300 --> 00:58:11,540
no matter, no worry, I'll
get hot in the second half?

1027
00:58:11,540 --> 00:58:14,150
- Well, I just, I mean even when I'm

1028
00:58:14,150 --> 00:58:17,082
in the first half, I mean
I only had eight shots

1029
00:58:17,082 --> 00:58:18,550
and I was still in the game.

1030
00:58:18,550 --> 00:58:20,480
I just had to figure out ways to attack

1031
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,220
the defense in order to get myself

1032
00:58:22,220 --> 00:58:24,210
in the rhythm of the game.

1033
00:58:24,210 --> 00:58:26,564
And was able to do that in the second half

1034
00:58:26,564 --> 00:58:27,460
with the three point shooting.

1035
00:58:27,460 --> 00:58:30,007
Which extended the
defense a little bit more

1036
00:58:30,007 --> 00:58:32,869
and I was able to get some isolations too.

1037
00:58:32,869 --> 00:58:33,900
- [Reporter] This team,
your team, seems like

1038
00:58:33,900 --> 00:58:34,810
they've reloaded.

1039
00:58:34,810 --> 00:58:36,530
You guys are ready to go
for another run this year.

1040
00:58:36,530 --> 00:58:38,700
For the Cavs, they've
almost hit, you know,

1041
00:58:38,700 --> 00:58:40,300
they've gotta start all over.

1042
00:58:40,300 --> 00:58:42,140
I mean is it, seeing 'em this year

1043
00:58:42,140 --> 00:58:44,820
and seeing Mark Price gone
and John Williams, I mean,

1044
00:58:44,820 --> 00:58:46,370
your comments on their team as a whole?

1045
00:58:46,370 --> 00:58:47,540
- It's different level.

1046
00:58:47,540 --> 00:58:50,080
Through injuries, through
trades, through retirement.

1047
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,585
I mean, they're sure not the
Cavs from four years ago.

1048
00:58:53,585 --> 00:58:55,290
But they got a good solid
base with Mills and Phills

1049
00:58:55,290 --> 00:58:59,210
and Bob Sura and Brandon.

1050
00:58:59,210 --> 00:59:02,040
I think now they can
start building from inside

1051
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,620
and extend themselves a little bit better.

1052
00:59:04,620 --> 00:59:07,050
But they've made some unbelievable changes

1053
00:59:07,050 --> 00:59:10,300
and now I think they're
trying to build things back up

1054
00:59:10,300 --> 00:59:13,350
and it may take some time.

1055
00:59:13,350 --> 00:59:15,065
- [Reporter] Thanks so much.

1056
00:59:15,065 --> 00:59:16,200
- [Interviewer] The whole
conference this year seems

1057
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,450
to be very competitive.

1058
00:59:18,450 --> 00:59:21,300
Indiana and Orlando,
your thoughts on them?

1059
00:59:21,300 --> 00:59:22,753
- It'll be tough, you know, Orlando's

1060
00:59:22,753 --> 00:59:27,540
dealing with the loss
of Shaq and Indiana's

1061
00:59:27,540 --> 00:59:28,850
without a couple players.

1062
00:59:28,850 --> 00:59:31,670
So they gotta make some
adjustments here and there

1063
00:59:31,670 --> 00:59:33,170
whenever those people come back,

1064
00:59:33,170 --> 00:59:35,169
but you can believe both of them

1065
00:59:35,169 --> 00:59:37,590
are gonna be the teams
to beat in the East.

1066
00:59:37,590 --> 00:59:38,423
- [Reporter] Mike, thanks a lot.

1067
00:59:38,423 --> 00:59:39,400
Good luck to you the rest of the season.

1068
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,127
- [Man] Hey, Melina told me to...

1069
00:59:42,138 --> 00:59:43,490
- Melina Cunnigham?
- Yeah.

1070
00:59:43,490 --> 00:59:44,323
- How's she doing?

1071
00:59:44,323 --> 00:59:45,156
- [Man] She's doing fine.

1072
00:59:45,156 --> 00:59:46,220
She should be up here
the next couple weeks.

1073
00:59:46,220 --> 00:59:47,290
- Is she?
- Yeah.

1074
00:59:47,290 --> 00:59:48,490
- Is she movin' up here?

1075
00:59:49,449 --> 00:59:51,240
- [Man] She's seeing Antonio Langham.

1076
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:52,332
- She's where?

1077
00:59:52,332 --> 00:59:53,660
- [Man] She comes to
see Langham sometimes.

1078
00:59:53,660 --> 00:59:54,950
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.

1079
00:59:54,950 --> 00:59:56,300
- Ha, tell her I say, what's happening.

1080
00:59:56,300 --> 00:59:57,133
- Okay.
- Good girl.

1081
00:59:57,133 --> 00:59:58,633
- [Man] She told me to holler at you

1082
00:59:58,633 --> 00:59:59,466
at the Cavs game.

1083
00:59:59,466 --> 01:00:00,299
- All right.
- All right.

1084
01:00:00,299 --> 01:00:01,210
- [Adam] Once I saw Jordan in a good mood,

1085
01:00:01,210 --> 01:00:03,510
I knew it was my chance to ask a question.

1086
01:00:03,510 --> 01:00:05,688
- [Young Adam] Hey Mike,
now that you're like,

1087
01:00:05,688 --> 01:00:08,320
you're 4-0, do you think 66 more to go

1088
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,840
to get to the 70 mark?

1089
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,299
Or is that even on your mind now?

1090
01:00:12,299 --> 01:00:13,132
- Just take it game by game.

1091
01:00:13,132 --> 01:00:15,510
I don't think we're in
a rush to get to 70.

1092
01:00:15,510 --> 01:00:17,730
We just got a lot of time in between

1093
01:00:17,730 --> 01:00:19,610
and a lot of things to learn in between

1094
01:00:19,610 --> 01:00:21,970
so take it game by game.

1095
01:00:21,970 --> 01:00:24,060
- [Adam] I have now
regretted not asking Jordan

1096
01:00:24,060 --> 01:00:27,263
about the heckler for longer
than I was alive at that point.

1097
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:32,300
It would have been the
perfect button to this story.

1098
01:00:32,300 --> 01:00:34,430
But you have to realize,
I didn't understand

1099
01:00:34,430 --> 01:00:38,620
the extent of the heckler until
after I watched my footage.

1100
01:00:38,620 --> 01:00:41,610
I only saw the "shh" and the fan laughing.

1101
01:00:41,610 --> 01:00:44,090
The idea of a team
winning 70 in one season

1102
01:00:44,090 --> 01:00:47,650
was a much bigger deal
and it had never happened.

1103
01:00:47,650 --> 01:00:50,710
But 25 years later, of course
they ended up winning 70

1104
01:00:50,710 --> 01:00:52,780
and winning everything
for the next three years.

1105
01:00:52,780 --> 01:00:55,640
And the stand out thing
that I capture that day

1106
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:57,770
ended up being the side story,

1107
01:00:57,770 --> 01:00:59,630
about Jordan's remarkable ability

1108
01:00:59,630 --> 01:01:01,800
to turn anything into motivation.

1109
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,810
So, it was no secret
that with the addition

1110
01:01:03,810 --> 01:01:06,510
of Rodman, this team
was going to be so good

1111
01:01:06,510 --> 01:01:10,330
they could eclipse the
all time record of 69-13.

1112
01:01:10,330 --> 01:01:13,133
But at this point,
considering it was game four,

1113
01:01:14,090 --> 01:01:16,450
no one had actually asked him.

1114
01:01:16,450 --> 01:01:18,673
So I got to be the first idiot to do so.

1115
01:01:19,740 --> 01:01:21,796
I'm kind of proud of that.

1116
01:01:21,796 --> 01:01:23,880
And glad it's cemented into NBA history.

1117
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,138
- [Young Adam] Hey Mike
now that you're like,

1118
01:01:26,138 --> 01:01:28,630
you're 4-0, do you think 66 more to go

1119
01:01:28,630 --> 01:01:31,150
to get to the 70 mark?

1120
01:01:31,150 --> 01:01:32,410
Or is that even on your mind now?

1121
01:01:32,410 --> 01:01:34,185
- Just take it game by game.

1122
01:01:34,185 --> 01:01:35,880
I don't think we're in
a rush to get to 70.

1123
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,060
We just got a lot of time in between

1124
01:01:38,060 --> 01:01:39,910
and a lot of things to learn in between.

1125
01:01:39,910 --> 01:01:41,783
So take it game by game.

1126
01:01:43,790 --> 01:01:46,140
- And that was my day with Michael Jordan.

1127
01:01:46,140 --> 01:01:48,613
- Can I go beat Cam at basketball?

1128
01:01:49,457 --> 01:01:51,686
- I would love that.

1129
01:01:51,686 --> 01:01:54,186
(light music)

1130
01:02:10,180 --> 01:02:12,550
My relationship with the NBA after Jordan

1131
01:02:12,550 --> 01:02:15,540
changed forever when in January of 2000

1132
01:02:15,540 --> 01:02:20,290
I finally moved to an
NBA city, Los Angeles.

1133
01:02:20,290 --> 01:02:23,140
And yes, that means I once
again lucked into following

1134
01:02:23,140 --> 01:02:25,210
greatness as Shaq, Kobe, and the Lakers

1135
01:02:25,210 --> 01:02:28,323
won the championship the first
three years I lived here.

1136
01:02:29,380 --> 01:02:32,053
And a decade later, Kobe
and Pau won it back to back.

1137
01:02:34,310 --> 01:02:36,220
Of course I had to watch
their first championship

1138
01:02:36,220 --> 01:02:39,270
on a web cam in the middle
of the night from Paris.

1139
01:02:39,270 --> 01:02:40,870
But you gotta support your team.

1140
01:02:41,746 --> 01:02:44,246
(light music)

1141
01:02:47,758 --> 01:02:49,200
Now, I still repped MJ.

1142
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,490
You can't forget your roots.

1143
01:02:51,490 --> 01:02:53,890
But I lived in LA for over 20 years now

1144
01:02:53,890 --> 01:02:54,883
and it's my home.

1145
01:02:56,050 --> 01:02:58,740
(light music)

1146
01:02:58,740 --> 01:03:01,040
In 2010, YouTube move their time limit

1147
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,170
from 10 minutes to 15 minutes.

1148
01:03:03,170 --> 01:03:04,580
Which meant I could finally upload

1149
01:03:04,580 --> 01:03:08,680
the original short I made
about meeting Michael in 1995.

1150
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:12,113
Which really did just sit
in my closet for 15 years.

1151
01:03:13,190 --> 01:03:14,560
The amazing thing about the short

1152
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,300
was that it had to be edited live.

1153
01:03:16,300 --> 01:03:18,700
Meaning, I had two VCRs, a mixer,

1154
01:03:18,700 --> 01:03:21,210
a CD player, and a microphone.

1155
01:03:21,210 --> 01:03:24,350
And I got one take to
pull off the entire thing.

1156
01:03:24,350 --> 01:03:26,320
And I had to factor in the time it took

1157
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,433
to switch out CDs while reading my script.

1158
01:03:30,590 --> 01:03:32,780
Screw up, start over.

1159
01:03:32,780 --> 01:03:34,253
15 straight minutes.

1160
01:03:35,300 --> 01:03:38,350
Might be my proudest
editing achievement to date.

1161
01:03:38,350 --> 01:03:40,160
And I did all that work just to show it

1162
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,053
to four or five people back then, crazy.

1163
01:03:44,230 --> 01:03:46,910
Also crazy was watching it go viral.

1164
01:03:46,910 --> 01:03:48,320
I mean, when you wake up one morning

1165
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,070
and the Washington Post
has written a story on it,

1166
01:03:51,070 --> 01:03:53,310
kinda hard to process.

1167
01:03:53,310 --> 01:03:55,810
(light music)

1168
01:03:56,650 --> 01:03:59,300
And although BroBible.com isn't exactly

1169
01:03:59,300 --> 01:04:01,500
the Washington Post, they included it

1170
01:04:01,500 --> 01:04:04,230
as part of their top 10
Jordan trash talking moments

1171
01:04:04,230 --> 01:04:05,170
of all time.

1172
01:04:05,170 --> 01:04:07,600
And it audibly made me gasp.

1173
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:09,550
To think that I somehow added something

1174
01:04:09,550 --> 01:04:11,410
to Jordan's legacy with my footage

1175
01:04:11,410 --> 01:04:13,680
the wouldn't have existed otherwise,

1176
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:15,263
it kind of boggles the mind.

1177
01:04:16,710 --> 01:04:18,590
Also mind boggling is having kids

1178
01:04:18,590 --> 01:04:20,623
and having one that is basketball crazy.

1179
01:04:22,610 --> 01:04:24,720
To the point of it being
the dangling carrot

1180
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:25,893
that made him walk.

1181
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,520
- [Young Adam] Oh, there's five steps.

1182
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,370
Yeah!

1183
01:04:33,370 --> 01:04:35,444
- [Adam] As well as being his first word.

1184
01:04:35,444 --> 01:04:36,978
- [Young Adam] Basketball!

1185
01:04:36,978 --> 01:04:38,061
- Basketball.

1186
01:04:39,290 --> 01:04:40,520
- [Adam] Too young to take him to games

1187
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:42,830
but I was lucky enough to
score some player tickets

1188
01:04:42,830 --> 01:04:44,113
and meet some stars.

1189
01:04:45,430 --> 01:04:47,930
(light music)

1190
01:04:52,190 --> 01:04:54,280
I even hung out with Charles Barkley.

1191
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,340
Thanks to my friend Mo'Kelly
literally calling me

1192
01:04:56,340 --> 01:04:59,090
and saying, do you wanna hang
out with Charles Barkley?

1193
01:05:00,392 --> 01:05:02,995
- The man, the myth, Sir Charles.

1194
01:05:02,995 --> 01:05:03,828
Thank you, thank you.

1195
01:05:03,828 --> 01:05:05,100
- Thank you, man, thank you.

1196
01:05:05,100 --> 01:05:05,933
- [Adam] Charles has to be one

1197
01:05:05,933 --> 01:05:07,713
of the nicest people I've ever met.

1198
01:05:09,210 --> 01:05:11,937
Got to watch Kobe's last game with my kid.

1199
01:05:11,937 --> 01:05:13,567
- Watch basketball.

1200
01:05:13,567 --> 01:05:15,445
- Do you wanna go to bed?

1201
01:05:15,445 --> 01:05:16,370
- No.

1202
01:05:16,370 --> 01:05:18,389
- Do you wanna watch
Kobe Bryant's last game?

1203
01:05:18,389 --> 01:05:19,222
- Yes!

1204
01:05:19,222 --> 01:05:21,603
- Ah, okay, that's what we're gonna do.

1205
01:05:21,603 --> 01:05:23,280
(light music)

1206
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:24,740
And a few months later,

1207
01:05:24,740 --> 01:05:27,850
watch the team I felt
sorry for my whole life

1208
01:05:27,850 --> 01:05:30,080
finally get a chip.

1209
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:31,683
Boy, did Cleveland deserve it.

1210
01:05:34,226 --> 01:05:35,440
And you may be wondering if I ever got

1211
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,010
to see a basketball game
from up close again.

1212
01:05:38,010 --> 01:05:40,900
And well, I did.

1213
01:05:40,900 --> 01:05:43,490
And I brought a good camera with me.

1214
01:05:43,490 --> 01:05:45,710
What's crazy is, I had
brought pretty good cameras

1215
01:05:45,710 --> 01:05:47,730
with pretty good seats before.

1216
01:05:47,730 --> 01:05:49,290
But location is everything

1217
01:05:49,290 --> 01:05:52,279
and 10th row center gets you this.

1218
01:05:52,279 --> 01:05:54,540
(light music)

1219
01:05:54,540 --> 01:05:56,883
Goodness, is this not breath taking?

1220
01:05:59,492 --> 01:06:01,992
(light music)

1221
01:06:03,749 --> 01:06:06,597
Oh, to have had this technology in 1995.

1222
01:06:09,310 --> 01:06:11,060
Then again, that's what
makes what I was able

1223
01:06:11,060 --> 01:06:12,913
to capture back then so special.

1224
01:06:13,942 --> 01:06:16,442
(light music)

1225
01:06:17,930 --> 01:06:19,670
But to be in this section.

1226
01:06:19,670 --> 01:06:23,100
I mean, you're next to
the NBA Commissioner.

1227
01:06:23,100 --> 01:06:25,513
Magic Johnson comes up to say, hi.

1228
01:06:27,043 --> 01:06:29,543
(light music)

1229
01:06:32,830 --> 01:06:35,680
I mean, other than this not
being my childhood hero,

1230
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,063
this felt a lot like 1995.

1231
01:06:40,156 --> 01:06:43,370
(crowd cheering)

1232
01:06:43,370 --> 01:06:45,860
Having a player from
the '90s still playing

1233
01:06:45,860 --> 01:06:47,423
also helped that feeling.

1234
01:06:48,590 --> 01:06:50,903
Vin-sanity, what can't this man do?

1235
01:06:53,050 --> 01:06:54,440
Even got a Hollywood ending

1236
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,240
with Lebron getting the game winner.

1237
01:06:59,549 --> 01:07:02,024
(crowd cheering)

1238
01:07:02,024 --> 01:07:03,107
- Yeah, yeah!

1239
01:07:05,051 --> 01:07:07,301
(cheering)

1240
01:07:16,890 --> 01:07:21,013
- [Adam] And Tyson Chandler
sealing it with a block.

1241
01:07:21,013 --> 01:07:23,263
(cheering)

1242
01:07:30,433 --> 01:07:33,740
Now, this is a Laker town and
I am absolutely a Laker fan.

1243
01:07:33,740 --> 01:07:35,730
But the economic reality is,

1244
01:07:35,730 --> 01:07:37,700
if you're a family of four,

1245
01:07:37,700 --> 01:07:39,893
you're taking 'em to
a Clippers game first.

1246
01:07:42,780 --> 01:07:44,880
Which Cam ended up
loving, so I surprised him

1247
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:46,030
with some better seats.

1248
01:07:50,350 --> 01:07:52,850
The last NBA game I
saw had the best ending

1249
01:07:52,850 --> 01:07:54,210
I've ever seen live.

1250
01:08:00,021 --> 01:08:02,771
(crowd cheering)

1251
01:08:07,651 --> 01:08:11,590
And then, of course, a few months later

1252
01:08:11,590 --> 01:08:13,360
our city had our hearts broken.

1253
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,027
- Did you see this news?

1254
01:08:16,027 --> 01:08:16,980
- [Adam] What?

1255
01:08:16,980 --> 01:08:18,072
- About Kobe.

1256
01:08:18,072 --> 01:08:18,905
- [Adam] What?

1257
01:08:18,905 --> 01:08:21,990
- He died in a helicopter crash.

1258
01:08:21,990 --> 01:08:23,320
- [Adam] I was lucky enough to be shooting

1259
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,700
a commercial for my DeLorean
in Kobe's neighborhood.

1260
01:08:26,700 --> 01:08:28,513
And met him at this Starbucks.

1261
01:08:29,530 --> 01:08:31,650
I made him laugh bragging about my car,

1262
01:08:31,650 --> 01:08:32,700
which he appreciated.

1263
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:37,150
His life after basketball was
far more inspirational to me

1264
01:08:37,150 --> 01:08:39,480
since we shared a mutual
love for filmmaking

1265
01:08:39,480 --> 01:08:40,930
and story telling.

1266
01:08:40,930 --> 01:08:43,663
As well as an obvious
devotion to our children.

1267
01:08:44,650 --> 01:08:47,143
I just knew I'd get to
work with him someday.

1268
01:08:53,090 --> 01:08:54,650
And wouldn't you know,

1269
01:08:54,650 --> 01:08:56,953
of all the people to
break down on that stage,

1270
01:08:57,870 --> 01:09:00,813
Jordan wrecked me in a way
I didn't know was possible.

1271
01:09:02,220 --> 01:09:05,160
Already crushed, I wept like a little boy

1272
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:06,663
watching my hero in pain.

1273
01:09:08,390 --> 01:09:11,393
And it was a reminder to
appreciate every moment.

1274
01:09:13,070 --> 01:09:15,613
Smell the flowers, eat the cake.

1275
01:09:16,998 --> 01:09:20,040
(light music)

1276
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:20,990
And wear the shoes.

1277
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:25,939
(light music)

1278
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,623
Jordan ignited my passion
for the game of basketball.

1279
01:09:56,830 --> 01:09:59,143
But these comparison
arguments have to stop.

1280
01:10:00,900 --> 01:10:02,970
Lebron is unbelievable and has kept it up

1281
01:10:02,970 --> 01:10:04,990
for nearly 20 years.

1282
01:10:04,990 --> 01:10:05,823
Enjoy it.

1283
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,770
KD is amazing, Steph is amazing,
Harden, Westbrook, Luka,

1284
01:10:10,770 --> 01:10:12,960
Giannis, we have to stop trying

1285
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,110
to find every way they're
not as good as Jordan.

1286
01:10:16,110 --> 01:10:18,520
While conveniently forgetting his flaws,

1287
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,783
and just enjoy the game of basketball.

1288
01:10:21,977 --> 01:10:24,477
(light music)

1289
01:10:25,890 --> 01:10:28,103
Cheer for everyone to be their best.

1290
01:10:29,440 --> 01:10:31,163
Isn't that what we teach our kids?

1291
01:10:32,269 --> 01:10:34,769
(light music)

1292
01:10:40,300 --> 01:10:41,800
Work hard, learn the fundamentals.

1293
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:43,983
Keep pushing and be the best you can.

1294
01:10:48,060 --> 01:10:49,900
Hating on players that are winning now

1295
01:10:49,900 --> 01:10:51,530
or undermining their achievements

1296
01:10:51,530 --> 01:10:52,653
belittles the game.

1297
01:10:54,740 --> 01:10:55,803
The game is great.

1298
01:10:57,020 --> 01:10:59,040
And tomorrow is not guaranteed.

1299
01:11:13,435 --> 01:11:16,018

1342
01:13:50,738 --> 01:13:53,124
you could have lost your job like,

1343
01:13:53,124 --> 01:13:54,890
you could have lost your job.

1344
01:13:54,890 --> 01:13:56,540
- Yes, all right, try it again.

1345
01:13:56,540 --> 01:13:57,910
- Was he mad at you?

1346
01:13:57,910 --> 01:13:59,900
- Uh, just disappointed.

1347
01:13:59,900 --> 01:14:01,550
It's unprofessional, you know,

1348
01:14:01,550 --> 01:14:02,880
I coulda lost my job.

1349
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:04,307
- You coulda lost your job?

1350
01:14:05,290 --> 01:14:07,030
- Yeah, weren't you
gonna say it differently?

1351
01:14:07,030 --> 01:14:08,720
Oh I, all right, I won't say it.

1352
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:09,553
You say it.

1353
01:14:09,553 --> 01:14:10,670
You coulda lost your job.

1354
01:14:10,670 --> 01:14:11,941
All right, go ahead.

1355
01:14:11,941 --> 01:14:13,150
- You said it, so I had to say it.

1356
01:14:13,150 --> 01:14:14,270
- Right, yeah, I know.

1357
01:14:14,270 --> 01:14:15,783
Okay so, my bad.

1358
01:14:17,990 --> 01:14:18,823
- Can we stop the camera?

1359
01:14:18,823 --> 01:14:19,656
- Go, you ready?

1360
01:14:19,656 --> 01:14:20,593
And go, don't look at the camera, go.

1361
01:14:22,230 --> 01:14:24,084
- Was he mad at you?

1362
01:14:24,084 --> 01:14:25,410
- Uh, just disappointed.

1363
01:14:25,410 --> 01:14:26,290
It was unprofessional.

1364
01:14:26,290 --> 01:14:27,620
I was supposed to be working,

1365
01:14:27,620 --> 01:14:29,215
not asking for autographs.

1366
01:14:29,215 --> 01:14:31,130
- You coulda lost your job.

1367
01:14:31,130 --> 01:14:32,873
- I, yeah, I could have.

1368
01:14:35,205 --> 01:14:37,130
It was Michael Jordan, dude.

1369
01:14:37,130 --> 01:14:38,080
I don't know what to tell ya.

1370
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:41,470
I did, I risked my job
to get that autograph.

1371
01:14:41,470 --> 01:14:42,680
But I didn't lose my job.

1372
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:43,513
You're mad at me?

1373
01:14:43,513 --> 01:14:44,720
Like I did something wrong.

1374
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:45,553
I'm sorry.

1375
01:14:47,089 --> 01:14:49,110
- You took his jersey.

1376
01:14:49,110 --> 01:14:49,943
- No, no, no.

1377
01:14:49,943 --> 01:14:50,776
That was my jersey.

1378
01:14:50,776 --> 01:14:51,609
I had it on under my shirt.

1379
01:14:51,609 --> 01:14:53,370
I didn't take his jersey, dude.

1380
01:14:53,370 --> 01:14:54,913
I just had, I took my shirt out

1381
01:14:54,913 --> 01:14:56,934
and was like, yo, can you sign this?

1382
01:14:56,934 --> 01:14:59,090
And he was like, you could
lose your stripes for this.

1383
01:14:59,090 --> 01:15:01,100
He was a little disappointed in me,

1384
01:15:01,100 --> 01:15:04,422
but I hope you understand now, Michael.

1385
01:15:04,422 --> 01:15:07,005
(upbeat music)
