NBA Hardwood Classics: Michael Jordan "His Airness"

Delving into the allure and excitement that characterized the career of basketball legend Michael "Air" Jordan, this documentary offers a nuts-and-bolts view of what made Jordan tick, both on and off the court. Beginning with his early days in North Carolina as the fourth of five children, born to hard-working, dedicated parents, HIS AIRNESS details Jordan's early interest in baseball, and his experience being cut from the varsity team in high school. The persistent young athlete refused to give up, and the film traces his trajectory toward his record-setting performance in the 1984 Men's Olympic Basketball Team, and his tenure with the Chicago Bulls. Inspiring and illuminating, this fascinating look at the life of one of the greatest athletes of all time features interviews with teammates, coaches, and writers, as well as Michael himself; the insight they offer is punctuated with game highlights from throughout Jordan's career.
