    Interesting topic to make a movie about. Seems hard to believe it would be compelling for an hour and a half, but I might check it out.

    Say what you will about Affleck, but he is a really good director.

    It may not be amazing, but with this subject matter and crew I have trouble believing that I won't really enjoy this.

    Looked up the cast and don't see Chris Pratt anywhere, missed opportunity for this movie if you ask me. He could have played any of the people in the trailer or Michael Jordan.. Oh well...

    I bet it was in the contract per Jordan to release this right after Lebron broke the scoring record... got to control the GOAT narrative.

    +1. Chris Pratt is the most accessible transcendent talent the human race has ever produced, he could easily play Jordan and literally no one would know the difference. They would say, wait, blackface is very non-woke and you would say, it's not blackface, it's just Chris Pratt's otherworldly acting and everyone would understand because Chris Pratt transcends race, religion, age and gender. Can they just reshoot with Chris Pratt as a one-man movie?

    Wait, I never said Chris Pratt should have blackface if he played the role of MJ... That would be very offensive and racist. He can play MJ with his natural appearance...

    The picture of Lebron’s kids watching him break the record while both wearing Jordan’s is a bit funny.

    He’s such an amazing actor that he doesn’t need blackface. But when people hear it’s a white guy playing the role, they assume he’s in blackface until they see the movie then they realize he’s that good of an actor.

    Liked the trailer. And I want the scene where they originally wanted Olajuwon instead of Jordan. Think it will be good.

    I was furious that the directors of Jurassic Park failed to recognize that Pratt should have played the velociraptors....and I don't just mean one of the velociraptors but all of the velociraptors.

    Jordan needs more money to support his son’s addiction.
