Michael Jordan's tears in The Last Dance were a result of his frustration with others' lack of self-expectation

I think [Jordan] was crying because he was so pissed off that people didn't expect as much from themselves as he did from everybody else.

This is a subjective interpretation of Jordan's emotional state.

Episode 7 of The Last Dance was the strongest episode of the entire documentary

I thought Episode 7 was the strongest episode of the entire documentary. It was so, so well done.

This is a subjective opinion on media quality.

Established media columnists in the 90s were no better than modern-day Twitter eggs

It's wild to think that in the mid nineties media, all these people who were given columns were no better than just like some Twitter egg that wanted to like put this shit out there and they got away with it and they still have jobs to this day.

Subjective comparison between historical and modern media toxicity.

Elite athletes (Cleaners) are never satisfied and move immediately to the next challenge

Cleaners get that end result over and over again... A part of a cleaner's mentality is to constantly never be satisfied. When something is done, they move on to what's next.

This is Grover's proprietary framework for evaluating athletes.

Michael Jordan was only 70-75% of his peak self during the 1995 NBA return

When he came back for that shortened season, 70%, 75% best. And it was a crazy thing. Even at 70%, 75%, he's probably better than 90% of the players, but he wasn't Michael Jordan.

This is an expert physical assessment by his direct trainer. While technically subjective, it's based on his first-hand data.

The 'Flu Game' was 100% food poisoning from a pizza delivered by five suspicious men

100% it was food poisoning, 100%... I opened up the door and there's literally five guys standing out there to deliver a pizza... Nobody ate the pizza, but him, nobody. And there was no signs of flu, anything being sick before that... you don't go from being [fine to] being hit that fast [by a flu].

The Last Dance later confirmed this was Jordan's belief as well. While technically unproven, the testimony from the person in the room is the strongest evidence available.
