Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals will forever be the most-watched NBA game of all time

That game six of the 98 finals with the shot and MJ finishing his career with the Bulls, that will forever be the most watched NBA game of all time. 35.89 million people were watching that game concurrently... It's going to keep getting more and more fractured. That will be the most watched NBA game of all time.

As of 2024, this remains correct. No game has surpassed the 35.9 million viewers for the 1998 finale.

The Chicago Bulls organization is on Michael Jordan's list now, and that's why they've been doomed ever since

I think the reason why the Bulls have been doomed ever since is because the Bulls are actually on Michael Jordan's list now, too. If you watch that last moment when he has the iPad available... anyone who ends up on MJ's shit list... is screwed forever.

The Bulls have not won a title since 1998, though whether this is due to a 'curse' from MJ is subjective.

Reggie Miller's 'throw away the game plan' quote is what losers say in Game 7s

I knew that there was a difference between Reggie Miller and Michael Jordan was in this documentary when Reggie Miller said, when you get to Game 7, you just throw away your game plan entirely because it's all about who wants it more in a Game 7. It's like that's exactly what somebody who loses a Game 7 says. Like, yeah, the whole like they wanted it more and you don't have a game plan. Michael Jordan wanted you to think that they didn't have a game plan. Michael Jordan absolutely had a game plan in that Game 7.

This is a subjective interpretation of coaching and player psychology.

MJ's reverse angle footage from the 1998 Finals finally proves he didn't push off Bryon Russell

The alleged push-off that he had on that shot... I think this documentary changed my mind. I no longer think that it was a foul that he pushed off. [Jordan] drop this one angle that no one's ever really seen that makes it look like I did not push off Byron Russell, which now I totally believe it.

This is a subjective interpretation of a sports play, though the reverse angle did change public perception for many.

Barry Bonds could still play in the MLB and take a million walks because of fear

I think of that with Barry Bonds for sure. Barry Bonds I like He could just, he, he could show up and just be awesome and, and take like a million walks. 'cause people would fear him.

This is a hypothetical claim about a retired player's current ability, which is fundamentally subjective.

American air conditioning is the equivalent of 'Hunter Biden crack' for European visitors

I would imagine air conditioning for Europeans hits like crack. Like the best crack of all. Oh, hunter Biden crack. Yeah. That's like when we go over to, to Spain and we see a nude beach. Like that's, that, that feeling that we get over there is their feeling when they're walking into one of our buildings over here.

Inherently subjective and hyperbolic comparison.

Norway throwing a parade for a World Cup loss is 'loser energy'

Norway is, but I think it was more just people being like, oh, this is, this is what's wrong with players today... this all falls apart when you see the, the parade that they threw for the players in Norway. Right. Which is, I I see it as loser energy just because it's like you're basically saying this is the best it will ever get.

The evaluation of 'loser energy' is a matter of opinion.
