:27:02
He was your hardest worker.
He competed eveyday.
:27:05
That filtered down
through your team,
so as a coach...
:27:07
you never had to talk
about the work ethic
of your team...
:27:10
because your best player
always brought that.
:27:12
Michael's standards
were too high...
:27:14
for many
of his early team mates...
:27:16
but then
came Scottie Pippen.
:27:18
The infuence
of Michael on Scottie Pippen
was almost from day one.
:27:23
Michael kind of
helped him get out there
on the basketball court...
:27:27
and taught him some
little things... some of
the small tricks that he'd use.
:27:36
as a consequence,
the two of them
really played well together.
:27:39
It was
the Lone Rangerand Tonto.
:27:42
There's no doubt about it.
:27:44
Pippen became a star
in his own right.
:27:46
and then there was
the supporing cast...
:27:49
that Michael would
challenge relentlessly,
:27:52
knowing that they too had to be
ready when their moment came.
:27:55
He understood the fact...
:27:57
that eveybody had
to share in the game,
:27:59
and that he was willing
to be part of this...
:28:01
to sacrifice some
of his own game for that...
:28:04
was the most
important thing.
:28:08
He comes off,
I'll be ready.
:28:10
I've gotten
a chance to play a lot,
:28:13
and play a lot
in big games.
:28:15
And I felt
the pressure, I think,
:28:17
and didn't
perform that well.
:28:19
And I learned how
to play with Michael
and how to hit big shots,
:28:22
and how to relax myself
in situations like that.
:28:25
Michael, in traffic, to Kerr.
:28:27
Fifteen footer...
Yes!
:28:31
What a great experience,
you know, to go through,
:28:33
not just for basketball,
but for the rest of my life.
:28:35
To know that I can
face something...
:28:37
that's pretty
difficult,
and deal with it.
:28:42
Back in Utah...
:28:44
the buzz was still about the
Jazz's series opening victoy.
:28:47
But by the time
game two had begun,
:28:49
game one was histoy
to Michael and the Bulls.
:28:57
If Michael enjoyed
being the underdog,
:28:59
he never let his team
feel like one,
driving them foward...
