Yeah, I'm really keen to watch it too, and I can't stand basketball. I'm also of a similar vintage to Booney, and can't not think of the 90s without Michael Jordan (I did have a pair of his shoes, though), so there's a slight nostalgia factor there as well. The doco seems to be more about the dynamics and tensions of the team environment, which appears to be what gives it such broad appeal.

I had 4's, 5's, 6's and 7's, a Bulls bomber jacket, a Pippen singlet and a full Flight tracksuit. Should have kept the clothes.

Sheesh! Where can we hear your rap album?

I actually think you'd like my karaoke version of Young MC's Bust a Move more than you would Patience.

Any excuse to hear someone rap the word 'Poindexter' is a good one.

more than you would Patience.

Indeed, unless you're talking about the Guns 'n Roses 'Patience', whereby I would be very keen to hear your whistling chops.

Just finished Sunderland til i die, took a few eps to get into it but then really enjoyed it, love seeing how organisations like they work behind the scenes and also the passion for their town/team.

x2 It's a great show.

The English do their passion for sport so much better than us. I love they way they still love their club despite having dropped two divisions of top flight footy.

Yeah couldnt agree more.

I think the big difference in english football is that 99% of clubs were formed by the people for a certain group of people eg the club i support West Ham were originally Thames Ironworks with only ship builders allowed to play in the side. My great great grandfather was a ship builder in east london so there was only one club you could support...it wasnt a choice! Slightly changing in recent times but being a supporter of an english club you simply dont get a choice, you support your local club...it's that or nothing.

You dont get to pick Adelaide or Port, you dont get to pick Tigers because they have a cool nickname it simply doesnt work like that in England. (the nickname thing has never really taken off in english football like it has here in Australian sports)

You look at the AFL and lets be honest Adelaide, West Coast, Fremantle, GSW, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sydney were all born in board rooms and either loosely associate with their region or generically associate eg Adelaide- apart from playing at AO in recent years nothing about them is 'Adelaide' based.

Probably also helps that clubs can move through any tier so you only have 1 club, i dont have a premier league, championship club (eg SANFL level), non football club (eg Amature) so when West Ham get relegated there still my only team.

Probably explains why ive never been able to follow an AFL team. Centrals is my team, i grew up in Elizabeth to a british working class family. They are the team im born into, the only team i support.

After Life Series 2

Binged it yesterday morning after a big Saturday / Saturday night, loved it. Ricky Gervais is a genius.

One highlight - An old lady.

[Magellan]

Anyone had a look at the Michael Jordan/Chicago Bulls doco that just started to come out?

Yep. Loving it and I'm not a huge basketball fan.

Watched the first four episodes so far, and its a brilliant documentary. Always knew he was great, but it’s given me a better appreciation of Jordan’s freakish athletic ability, and his unshakeable drive for excellence. Also made me wonder how such an athlete would’ve performed on a footy field.

I started watching it earlier and I'm right into it.

About to start watching it.

Watched Ep 2 of The Last Dance last night, well deserved plaudits for Pippen, he's the Stuart MacGill of the NBA, in any other era may have just been the greatest to play at the time.

And what a man, when he had the $18m 7 year offer he knew that would be enough to take care of his loved ones and that was more important to him than flashy cars and houses and as he said, "My day will come". An exemplary human.

[Bum Crack]

Three episodes into The Staircase. Not a bad doco about an American writer who was charged with murdering his wife

[woodublieve12]

started the second season of Afterlife... Such a good show... 3 eps in.

Yes, I rate Pippen. I don't rate publicly disrespected the GM though (regardless of how much a cock he was/is).
I also rate the Bulls owner telling him not to sign the deal as it was bad for Pippen.

Pippen finished his career with salary earnings of $109.9 million, while Jordan finished with $89.7 million.

The old boiler turning 100?

My boss, from the UK reckons he had a mate who was exactly like the therapist. "Woke up covered in kebab and fanny juice and don't know how"

A bit late to the party but finished watching both seasons of Sunderland til i die.

Maybe didnt get into it as much as others as i already knew the story eg Sunderland getting relegated and not getting promotion, managers leaving so it lost a fair bit of tension for me.

Was an interesting watch though and i couldnt help but feel for the new owner Stuart Donald who i believe had the best intentions, is a genuine football fan owning a club and was genuinely having to get them out of some piss poor management previously.
