LD Footage retouched

Watching the Last Dance I was amazed by how clear/crisp the footage looked(especially the game footage). Even though it was filmed nearly 30 years ago it didn’t feel out of place in 2020. Does anyone know of the footage was retouched or enhanced? If so they did a great job. If not, why does it look so high quality when most shows form that time are basic unwatchable now?

Context to Obama segments: MJ's Presidential Medal of Freedom

Yes, Obama was critical of the Harvey Gantt moment, but by the time he was interviewed for The Last Dance, he had already decided to give the highest civilian honor a president can give to MJ. Make of it what you will! Chicagoan to Chicagoan, it's clear Obama has a lot of love for MJ and his career.

Censored version

Is there a place to watch it? The high seas? Streaming website? It's not on espn like it used to be. The profanity doesn't bother me much but I was wanting to watch it with my family. The first episode was fine but it has more in 3 and 4. Yes I know the uncensored is better in some ways

G.O.A.T debate

After finishing watching The Last Dance for the 2nd time, there's no doubt that Jordan is the greatest of all time.

I'd put Jordan, Shaq, Kareem, & Bill Russell in my tier 1.

Tier 2 would include, Magic, Bird, Kobe, LeBron, Tim Duncan, Karl Malone, Steph Curry, Chamberlain.

Currently rewatching.

I'm currently rewatching this documentary again. It's really good. Heck even the intro is awesome. I just finished episode 7.

Wanted to ask, are there any other documentaries like this? Any recommendations?

Carmen Electra cut from The Last Dance on Netflix?

I just rewatched The Last Dance on Netflix and the story about MJ going to get Rodman told by Carmen Electra was missing as well as other parts I remember. Is this a different cut than the original ran by ESPN?

Was the Last Dance really a biopic and not a Documentary?

It seems weird that everyone calls this series a documentary when the story telling is so slanted to favor MJ. No controversial subjects over her personal life or career are really covered and MJ is giving full creative control over the entire project. I do not think I have every seen any real documentary give the main character 100% control over the subject covers or film editing before.

I only bring this up now because of the news of the same crew following LeBron this season. And I have to think his handlers saw how MJ controlled every aspect of the film and will ask for the same thing.

Anyone find a listing of all the OST tracks used?

Been obsessed with this doc since it dropped on ESPN. I'm one of those who bought the 3 out of 6 O.G Bulls docs from each of the championship years. (All on YouTube for those curious as they're sooooo 90s and has some great music choices that seem strange today). I can OBVIOUSLY find plenty of track listing for the needle drop tracks. But the orchestral tracks used from the obvious ones like John D Murphy's Sunshine track, Zack Hemsley's orchestrated Vengeance track, I've also been able to find on YouTube some of the generic 'inspirational sports music', I cannot find a source for a huge majority of the orchestrated music used in the series. I was hoping as it's been a few years since I've searched that maybe some other obsessive fan did some digging- but when I search all I get are the pin/needle drop tracks (actual songs intended to be recognized as such song- in this case typically of the decade). Hoping perhaps someone else has had any luck finding more tracks. The piano music is featured heavily throughout the doc and then there's the strong bass that is used for tense moments and for the audio quo for the opening track and sequence- no sources I can find outside of the straight up opening them.

Flu Game

Has anyone ever had a hangover that is brutal until a certain time in the day? For example, I have had a few hangovers that made me want to die, yet around 5 pm or so I all the sudden felt like a million bucks (this has happened more than once). Anyone else experience this and/or think maybe this was what Jordan was dealing with? Just curious?

Why does MJ get credit as being a better defender than Pippen?

The year he won DPOY I really believe it was just MJ hype. Yes, he was the GOAT. However, he wasn't the best defender in the league in any season. Is this just a case of people giving every award because of his impact on the game? IMO Pippen and Rodman were better defenders. I've never understood that DPOY award. Could someone please explain?

We need the soundtrack

It's been almost 2.5 years and the soundtrack has not been released. Thomas Caffey has done such an amazing job, and he deserves to gain recognition for it. Let's put pressure on the decision makers on the show on social media to release it. I have a list of the Twitter accounts, commenting on the posts of which could help: @jasonmhehir @MikeTollin @jonweinbach @esteep @GreggWinik @Matt_Maxson @espnfilms @MSM_co @ESPNNBA

Reply to their tweets, or just tweet ar them. If you guys have more accounts / social medias / ideas, let me know in the comments.

Jerry Krause

I’m Scottish, Basketball is not my game. I know about MJ and the Bulls but all the details surrounding that era were lost to me.

The Last Dance is one of the greatest sports documentaries of all time.

My question is why was Jerry Krause dragged out of Chicago by and angry mob and thrown into the sea?

Why couldn’t Phil Jackson or MJ just do a press conference and say “this fat turkey necked idiot is trying to sack us, we are the best and he wants us to go.”

Surely the blowback would have been so massive the owner would have sacked Krause. Surely the owner would throw all his backing behind Phil and the team?
