    Involving

    Greetings from Lithuania.

    "Episode VI" was as involving as previous 5 episodes. It was excellently paced and gave a lot interesting insides. The story of this team moved forward both in 1993 as well as 1998. This series is a true gem for those who like basketball, like i do.

    Cost of fame

    In this episode, the producers explore Jordan's relationship with fame. And I believe his relationship with the media resulted in a lot of my shallow previous misconceptions of the man.

    Jordan reached heights that not a lot of human beings have ever experienced. With every praise he received, the more people put eyes on him for scrutiny.

    Being on pedestal puts you in everyone's eyes by also makes you a target.

    Reaching this height and also trying to pull off that role model part that he may have involuntarily signed up for - is a monumental task outside of basketball. And I think this episode captured that challenge well.

    Nobody can be MJ for one day

    On this episode we can see some speculation about MJ " gambling addiction* some other fake news about the team conditions on the Book MJ Rules and when the media start creating a "monster" MJ he passe on Mute Mode. This Silent Jordan Silence Suns and beat Barkleys in all ways that Jordan knows. So in difficult year about all this things and speculation he won the Conference beating the "animals" of Knicks and winning the Final versus the Suns so like only a winner he left behind all speculations about him and get a third Championship with Bulls. One of the most beautiful episodes till now.
