The Last Dance has been good from a storytelling perspective so far. However, if Jordan had authority on what was edited, which certainly appears to be the case, it comes across as Jordan loving to talk about himself. Jordan the young player certainly appears to be a hard worker and to some degree, likable. Jordan the declining vet and current day human, absolutely a self indulgent jerk with an ego. I don't get the fascination with giving Jordan a free pass at being such a twat. This "documentary" with Jordan commentary is justifying the bullying of the GM when the guy is dead and can't defend himself, all at the greatness of Jordan's competitive spirit. Kinda bias, no? Anyway, I'm enjoying it from the entertainment perspective, but this obviously reeks of Jordan's ego involved at the editing room, and he can't even help himself because he's never realized how arrogant he comes across.
