2714146, Agreed, ep 1 should be an introduction

What we got were intros to 3 different story lines

The parallel stories of MJ and the Bulls, pre and during Jordan’s career

and the climatic power struggle of an ending

My concern is that there isn’t the deep dive into MJ specifically given the unprecedented access to him personally

We didn’t get anything on his background before bball
He didn’t personally speak about his time at UNC and his relationship with Dean Smith
Etc...

I’m hoping in the remaining episodes there will be more focus on specific topics

But based on ep 1, it feels very superficial

Maybe I’m older than you, but the idea of nba players using cocaine in the 70s/80s is not a revelation <shrug>

I guess I was hoping more for the Kobe narrative, where he’s actually breaking down film, situations, matchups, etc...

Still incredibly entertaining, but based on ep 1, it feels like a blown opportunity to get into the GOAT’s head.
