I wonder what would have happened if what happened between Jordan/Pippen and Krause in this period. Think about like maybe Bob Myers (gm of warriors) coming off from 2 straight rings in 2017 and 2018 and on the third year he says that Steve Kerr will be fired no matter what happens in the end of the season even if Curry leaves because of it. Think about what would be the social media response, think about all reddit topics, think about what media would do, basically everything would have been different, back in those days there was media and it made it to news but it couldn't be nowhere near like today, right now basically everything is online and everyone has an account to talk about these together. Its really something major that just happened and wasn't as big part of the NBA history when Jordan is talked about, maybe from now on it might be.
Being optimistic about it.
About the format.
They are still not mentioning anything if there is a plan or changes in the format.
There is no time frame into when they could resume the league so there must be something there.
Like in case they go back July, how can they squeeze the remaining games in it?
What if August or September?
About the format.

A few ideas have reportedly been floated, such as having a play-in tournament to give more teams a chance to make the playoffs, but it’s hard to even consider ideas for playoff formats when the basics are still undecided. Wojnarowski reported that the NBA has yet to figure out if all 30 teams will return when the NBA restarts, or if any of the remaining regular-season games will be played at all. Teams have 15-20 games left to play this season.

NBA restart reportedly gaining momentum, but positive COVID-19 tests still major concern
Discussions centered on health and safety concerns, including the goal of getting team officials and players comfortable with the idea that a positive test for the coronavirus upon a return would not shutter play. Silver told those on the call that if a positive test would "shut us down, we probably shouldn't go down this path."

There is just too much tension and a lot had been revealed in it.
He also considered what will others feel if the film will go out.
I knew that there was some tension between Jordan, Pippen and Krause, but I had no idea it was that complicated. Back then we didn't get many news from NBA here in Europe, all we had were newspapers and that NBA Inside Stuff show. When you think that Bulls could have won few more titles, if there was more consideration. Like when Kobe and Shaq split, if they stayed together they could have won few more titles together.He also considered what will others feel if the film will go out.
Didn't even expect that either.
What good timing too, people are in lock down and like waiting for an episode of GOT. 
I just hope that last 2 episodes of The Last Dance won't be as bad as last season of GOT 
. You don't like good endings? Something dramatic or happily ever after?
The other reason, is I hate buffering. I might break my television when I throw the TV remote.
Dunno, but in general Netflix is not that demanding when it comes to bandwidth so if you have at least 10 mb DL, you shouldn't have issues. Well, unless you are streaming 4k HDR stuff. Only issue is if The Last Dance is not available in your country, but even that can be sorted with good VPN.It ain't the new stuff out there that can use 4k.
Also, I think it has issues with its WIFI connection. It's slow but when I use my smartphone I can read a stable connection.
Yeah, VPN might really help.
I guess Kobe's wife has loss her love to basketball if there is because he loss her daughter and her husband in a tragic incident.
Maybe anything related to basketball, she will try to forget it so they can move on... I wonder who will get the award once time comes that Kobe will be honored again in the NBA. ... respect,, yes that is what they need as it's hard to move on with what happen.
It will heal, but it will take time.
Hell! Even us are still affected by such loss.
How hard could it be for a mother grieving for her daughter and as a wife losing her husband.
That's just too much to handle and it was so sudden.
They all want peace. Maybe they could find it with this kind of ways.
I agree with you bro, I always see Kobe's family present in the court every time he has a big game, and their daughter was influence by Kobe to love basketball but the wife I guess is not an athlete, she was a model so she has no natural love on the sport like Kobe.

I'm not a fan of using Netflix since I don't have enough time to watch movies during the night time, I might fell asleep not half the movie has finished yet. Hence, I can use free streaming websites that also offers Netflix series and movies. Including the MJ documentary "The Last Dance".
Since the main focus was to discuss the road to 1997-98 season, yes I think that the last 2 episodes will now focus on their journey to a championship after the 1995 playoffs loss. The second three-peat and the final years of Jordan's prime.
I hope there will be a side part of Karl Malone and the whole Utah Jazz. That would be great. Utah Jazz dominate the Western Conference from 1996 to 1998 and gives Chicago Bulls a hard time in their finals meetup.

Yes, is there anything else to surprise us?
They went too deep in giving all the information, even the behind the scenes.
If that will not be the end of this episode then what else could it be?
Anyone have some theories? Whoever compiled it did a good job. It might have took a lot of time.
The series will end to Jordan's incapability to build a strong team to his own Charlotte Bobcats for several seasons lol.
Just kidding. But yeah, aside from Utah Jazz thing, retirement after the 1998 finals, becoming a team staff, and the return as a player after several seasons but in another uniform, I don't have anything left to think what could be the other scoops we can get.
Interesting if there are more secrets that will be revealed or drama that even the news didn't even know during that time.
I think the last two would probably be the first championship of last threepeat off-season and second championship and the last years last games basically. That is all there is left with the pattern they are going.

So, I am pretty sure there will be some stuff in between as well, it won't be like "hey this is what they did that year, bye", it will be like how they did it, what happened while they did it, and what happened afterwards and all of that so I think there will be some personal stories that are touching once again.

Here's some news about our Idol Kobe the Mamba.

Madelyn Burke: The Mamba Sports Academy is "Mamba" no more. The organization announced Tuesday it was retiring Mamba from the name and will be known as Sports Academy going forward. I'm joined now by SI NBA writer Rohan Nadkarni. Rohan, Sports Academy says the move is meant to be made with respect to the Mamba name. What do you make of this announcement?
was it a good move or not?
Just one way to move forward without the "Mamba" I guess. It was the family's wishes to removed it so they have to respect that. The official website did reflect the changes: https://sportsacademy.us/
As others have said, it will remain committed to help and guide future athletes in their training so it is a good move on their part.

I do respect the decision.
It is not about the name. It is about their motto which is going forward which Mamba also says a lot and believes in.
He will be remembered for that. The strength to keep on going even at the hardest time of his career.

Madelyn Burke: Now, the Academy, of course, added the nickname to its title in 2018 after Kobe Bryant and Sports Academy CEO Chad Faulkner joined forces. Sports Academy, though, says their mission remains unchanged. Rohan Nadkarni, thanks so much for the time.
Their mission is to make players reach their higher potentials and as said, it will not change.
Well, that's true, it's their decision but as long as the mission did not change, this academy is still good.
I was just surprise because some establishment would even name it to a popular person so they will be able to attract players, but this one did really change.

Yes, probably we can see some interview from Karl Malone and John Stockton. And probably highlight Jordan's last winning shot here. Or we may see his life after basketball, and focus on the last part of him acquiring Charlotte Hornets.
If recalling it right this both personalities are the reason why the bulls part ways.

Sorry, I don't watch GOT but I replaced it for a pretty good one. Alex Caruso the GOAT
Haha. That's hilarious. Sorry, I don't watch GOT but I replaced it for a pretty good one. Alex Caruso the GOAT
As for me, I would like to watch some of the full episodes when everything is finished. Hopefully can find some source where I can download it with no problem. if they released it in amazon or any other stores would be great, that could be added to some of my collections.seeing some preview in the Facebook advertisement of the documentary the Last Dance, makes me feel excited to watch the full episode at once.
If you knew how to download on torrent, you can find it there. If you don't, send me a message I'll give you a link. You can watch all episodes by May 17 where the last 2 episodes would be publish.
This is also why it's taking a lot of time for me to watch the episodes.
I am trying to download them all just so I could watch them again when I miss it.
The other reason, is I hate buffering. I might break my television when I throw the TV remote.
