>>> ONE YEAR AGO, MY DOCUMENTARY ABOUT MICHAEL JORDAN'S FINAL SEASON WITH THE BULLS, "THE LAST DANCE," AIRED ON ESPN. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS TEN HOURS LONG, THERE WAS SO MUCH LEFT ON THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR.

I THINK I GOT ANOTHER FIVE SIDE ON ME. >> $1,000 THIS TIME. >> COME ON, MAN, I DON'T CARRY THAT KIND OF -- WHAT DO THE KIDS CALL IT, CHEESE? >> I'LL SPOT YOU, I'LL SPOT YOU. >> OH, NO. >> OH, HO HO! >> THAT IS FINANCIALLY ROUGH FOR ME. THE WIFE'S NOT GOING TO LIKE THAT. >> SEE, WITH MICHAEL, HE HAD TO WIN. THAT'S WHAT MADE HIM GREAT. >> OH! >> OH, [ BLEEP ]! >> I MEAN, HE'S ABOUT TO PLAY FOR AN NBA TITLE AND HERE HE IS TAKING LITTLE LOCKER ROOM GAME JUST AS SERIOUSLY, JUST AMAZING COMPETITOR. >> HOW MUCH MONEY YOU OWE ME NOW? >> 9,000. >> AW, THAT'S NOTHING, MAN.

WHAT YOU THINK, ABOUT 5,000 A THROW? >> OKAY, WELL, YOU TWO HAVE FUN. >> NO, JOHN, STAY. >> I DON'T MAKE THAT KIND OF MONEY. >> PUT YOUR PANTS IN. >> NOT GOING TO LOOK GREAT IF I LOSE MY PANTS, BUT -- WELL, IT IS THE DREAM TEAM. >> THERE WE GO. OH, LOOK AT THESE PLATES. >> ALL RIGHT. >> SHARP PLATES. >> ALL RIGHT, COME ON, THEY WOULDN'T EVEN FIT YOU, MAN. LET ME WIN THEM BACK. FOR THE PANTS. >> OH, YOU TRIPPING, MAN. >> THE THING ABOUT MIKE IS, HE DIDN'T WANT TO JUST BEAT YOU. HE WANTED TO DOMINATE YOU. >> OH. >> JOHN, I THINK YOU OWE ME A GUN. >> IT'S LOADED. >> WHAT? >> IT'S LOADED. >> HE WANTED TO EMBARRASS YOU. >> HE WAS THE BEST.

COME ON. >> WHAT DO YOU GET? >> WHAT DO I GET? YOUR HAIR. >> YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. >> WHAT CAN I SAY? I LIKE TO WIN.
he sadly died a few months before the last dance aired, but there's a ton of cool footage of him from rookie bulls all the way to the wizards. he started as a low key locker room guy, then MJ got him from driver > bodyguard > all time gif
Amazing performance from Heidi Gardner. She nailed the impression of that bodyguard. It took my brain a few seconds to process that it wasn't actually him.
I wonder if this one was on the back burner for a while. The Last Dance came out a year ago; so maybe they've just been waiting for someone who could do a good Jordan?
Then again, the pre-taped sketches are almost always the best ones of the show.
Best skit they produced in a long time.
Mirror?
This kinda has a MadTV feel, love it
Remind Me! 24hrs "check for a mirror"
one of the better sketches in a while.. made even better after the cringe dolt we had last week lol
