The second of the planned five nights of the initial airing of the documentary mainly centered around two things: Dennis Rodman and the Bulls-Pistons rivalry that clearly still irks Jordan.
Starting off by showing the physicality of the “Bad Boys” Pistons’ vaunted defense and the “Jordan Rules” that flustered the superstar, the documentary then depicted Jordan’s summer of intense training to finally get over the hump in Detroit.
After sweeping the Pistons, the Bulls went onto top the Los Angeles Lakers and give Jordan his first ring. The story of James’ first ring is obviously a bit different in circumstance, but that’s a debate for the comments.
