Well, for one, we’re going to get more of a look into Jordan’s gambling addiction and how it drove him away from basketball after the first three-peat. We’ll get to see Jordan in a baseball jersey again, assuredly. The episodes are expected to be very emotional, giving us a look inside why Jordan is the way he is — ruthlessly competitive. We’ll see how MJ came back for the second three-peat but was considered a tyrant by his teammates. We also get a look into Jordan’s relationship with his Father, which has been hinted during the series. We get to take a look at how Scottie Pippen and the Bulls did without Jordan for a season.
