Movie data: IMDB
Michael Jordan, the greatest player in the history of team sports, gets an appropriate showcase with Ultimate Jordan.
It includes five programs - some of the most spectacular footage is on Come 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, while Air Time (1993) takes us into the championship and Dream Team years. The more sobering Above and Beyond (1996) covers the death of Jordan's father, his first retirement, and his baseball endeavors, and His Airness (1999) summarizes his career up through the famous final shot against the Utah Jazz.
The Ultimate Jordan collection is a rare find; a raw compilation of Jordan's life on and off the court that - convincingly - reveals the man beneath the player.
