Ultimate Jordan
Michael Jordan, the greatest player in the history of team sports, gets  an appropriate showcase withUltimate Jordan, a two-disc set that's the  most feature-packed sports DVD to date.  It includes five programs previously  available on VHS--some of the most spectacular footage is onCome Fly with  Me(1989), which covers Jordan's youth, college years, and early NBA career.Michael Jordan's Playground(1991) is, as the title suggests, more  fanciful, combining highlight footage with a fictional story line and a music  video, whileAir Time(1993) takes us into the championship and Dream  Team years. The more soberingAbove and Beyond(1996) covers the death of  Jordan's father, his first retirement, and his baseball endeavors, andHis  Airness(1999) summarizes his career up through the famous final shot  against the Utah Jazz. The numerous extra features collect various clips and  highlights, but the best section is "Michael's Great 8," which provides 2.5- to  6-minute segments about significant Jordan games, including his 63 points  against Boston in the 1986 playoffs and the 1997 "flu game" against Utah.Ultimate Jordan's release in the fall of 2001 coincided with Jordan's  not-unexpected return from his second retirement, making it clear that there's  another chapter in the Jordan legacy yet to be written.--David Horiuchi
