I didn't expect an intimate display of private matters, but in this film Jordan is a man who lives on the basketball court and evaporates otherwise, except when starring in commercials. The only time we see him not wearing a basketball uniform is when he's wearing a suit while walking into the dressing room. The movie shows this, but doesn't underline it or explain it. The professional sportswriters who covered the games are not consulted. I don't think we're seeing Take One.
Nobody ever fumbles, or pauses, or searches for a thought.
He was smarter on basketball than anyone else I've ever encountered. He watched the games not only as a fan, but as an analyst. He was to fans as Jackson is to coaches. Yes, yes, yes, but there was strategy at work, too. Jordan outplayed his opponents on some nights.
