Yeah its shaping up to be really good
Naturally gifted as they were the thing that struck me is how MJ and Scotty were both products of great parenting

Yeah almost strange to hear a sportsman speak like Scottie. Taking the safe option and going for a long term contract just so he was certain he sorted his family out.

I was gutted cos I forgot there was only 2 episodes available.
Also dropping 2 episodes at a time is an ideal model for Netflix, one is just never enough and 2 whets the appetite and intrigue way better than a full on season binge ever could

The bit where the French TV technician asks for mjās autograph only to be stared at incredulously, and then have Smithers jump in and refuse was as cringeworthy a thing as Iāve seen since the office. Showed what a bubble the bulls were in.
MJ I suspect, like Roy Keane, just isnāt wired up happy.

Thatās a great comparison.
Thereās always a lot made about how sportsmen, footballers in this part of the world usually, come from hardship but very very few top sportsmen come from really rough backgrounds. Most have one good parent at least if not really stable supportive families. Almost impossible otherwise.

Yes and no, post his time playing under Clough I wouldnāt have Keane near the same stratosphere as MJ but thereās definitely mutual personality traits there alright

Baseball number 1 and then basketball. Basketball players are phenomenal athletes.
