My father lived in Chicago during the peak of the Bulls’ run, and from his retellings of the team, I always believed that Michael Jordan was an unstoppable force on an unstoppable team.

Watching Jordan was unlike any basketball player that I have ever seen; even now with more freakish athletes in the NBA than ever before, none of them looks as smooth and effortless as Jordan did.

Despite all of his athleticism and dominance, Jordan initially had struggles when the playoffs came around and teams were able to zone in on him.

While it led in part to one of the most successful careers in NBA history, it was also something that Jordan was emotional about at the end of Episode 7, showing there was a clear struggle between how Jordan wanted to be represented and how he wanted his team to be.

So, retroactively, it is hard to appreciate that Jordan stopped plenty of great teams.
