The content itself isn’t shocking, but getting to hear these stories told by Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Phil Jackson and the rest of the Bulls’ teammates, opponents and media members who were there for it all makes for riveting television.

The base facts are well known, but the magnitude and details of these stories are what really shines through.
