"30 for 30" is a series of documentaries launched by ESPN to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the station. It describes important events and figures in the history of North American sports. The episode filmed Jordan specifically.
The film begins with the accidental death of Jordan's father. It mainly describes the story of his first retirement from the NBA and becoming a baseball player. This is definitely a documentary that you can't miss for a comprehensive understanding of Jordan. Although other films also mentioned Jordan's experience in becoming a baseball player, they have never had such a comprehensive record.
Many people think that Jordan hastily retired and went to play baseball is a "joke." They don't understand the latter's motivation for making this decision, which makes him have to talk about this issue over and over again.
At the same time, the film also analyzes why Jordan's level as a baseball player is underestimated. Although his baseball career is not satisfactory, he has made significant improvements in many statistics in just one year, and many players It will take three years to do this. In the
film, Jordan said a very important sentence: "Failure is based on self-perception" (failure is based on perception).
He is right. If you think that Jordan's entire baseball career has failed, it is only within your cognition. There must be many other things that you still haven't felt.

Sports Century: Michael Jordan
ESPN SportsCentury: Michael Jordan
In 2003, after Jordan ended his last game in the NBA, ESPN produced this film. The
film describes Jordan's career and personal life from the perspective of media criticism. Watching the entire film, you may know another completely different Michael Jordan.
For example, the film unreservedly shows the media’s protection of the league’s iconic player-Jordan once asked some reporters not to report on the birth of his first child, because it happened before he married the child’s mother. The reporters obeyed his wishes.
These reporters may not be willing to protect him, because once you do not follow his wishes and annoy him, there is often no turning back.
"Sports Illustrated" once published an article suggesting that Jordan put the baseball world to shame while playing in the minor leagues. The consequence is that Jordan never accepted any request from the magazine until the film came out. And this was fatal to any sports media at the time. The movie
depicts a terrible Jordan, unknown to most people, a man who pays great attention to image and lives in "fear" for a long time. and this further highlights his aggressiveness and his paranoia.

Extreme Jordan
Michael Jordan to the Max
If it weren't for the remaining two too classic, "Extreme Jordan" released in 2000 is likely to be the best Jordan documentary in everyone's mind. The documentary
will take you through an emotional "roller coaster". It will make you cry and laugh, it will make you painful, and it will make you happy to have such a person. At the same time, what fans love about is that all the game clips in this film are high-definition, and the level of the soundtrack is also very high. In the
movie, you will learn how Jordan devoted himself to baseball for his father; you will see him riding his bike to participate in spring training every day, imagine his father sitting in the stands watching him; you will also realize that he treats baseball Sports hard and serious...
Besides, this is a Jordan documentary after all, basketball is still the main line. The film repeats his appearance in the final finals game, and intersperses his life from the moment he fell in love with basketball. At the end of the
film, Jordan recalled the last moments of his sixth finals. You will feel that Jordan seems to be conveying a concept to people-even after 10 or 20 years, as long as he is still playing, he will still be the "god" of the basketball world.

Fly with me
Michael Jordan: Come Fly with Me
This is the first documentary dedicated to Jordan's career, and it is also Jordan's best promotional template of that era.
In 1988, the year the film was collected, he won the All-Star Game MVP for the first time in his career. Until then, he hadn't gotten to the championship trophy. There is only one theme of the film
- describes how Jordan constantly strives daily to prove that those who doubt his ability are wrong.
In general, "Fly with Me" is an amazing and comprehensive documentary about what kind of character Michael Jordan is and his dedication to the sport. Essentially, no matter what era, he will become a leader in this sport.

Glorious years
Michael Jordan&39;s Playground
This documentary was released in 1990, just like its title "Playergroud", this documentary aimed at the place where everything started-basketball on the street Field, telling about Jordan's love of basketball.
The unique narrative perspective of this film allows the audience to watch and analyze Jordan's game through Jordan's own eyes, thereby understanding a more complete Jordan. In addition, this documentary also touches on topics such as the contest between him and Wilkins and the "Bad Boys Army". Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas and many other stars also showed their faces in this film. In the
movie, those legendary stars in addition to telling their stories with Jordan, they also selected Jordan's best dunk in their hearts. What's more, Jordan incarnates a "dancer" in the film to show off his dance skills, allowing people to see a different "god".
Before "Last Dance" was released, B/R rated this work as the most classic of all documentaries about Jordan. They wrote in their comments: "If you want to know Jordan, then this is your best choice!"
And with the release of "Last Dance", I wonder if their views will change?
