Movie Reviews of Michael Jordan - Above and Beyond (NBA Hardwood Classics)

Movie Review: One of the best Michael Jordan videos out there
Summary: 5 Stars

If you're a Michael Jordan fan, this is definitely one video you can't miss. It covers everything from Jordan's journey to winning his first three championships all the way to when he made his comeback to the game of basketball. The best thing about "Above & Beyond" is that it also has everything in between. It tells of all the struggles and triumphs he had after winning his third championship such as when his father died and the good things that happened while he was playing minor league baseball.

Finally, if you're like me and you like basketball highlights the best, it has more than enough of them. The video has highlights from Jordan's all-star games, championships, slam dunk contests, and much more. All the while, Jordan is narrating most of the video and some of the other best known players from the NBA such as Charles Barkley also give their insights about Michael Jordan. Bottom line is if you're a Michael Jordan fan, this is one of the best, if not the best, overall videos that your money could buy. However, it's good for a lot more than highlights. If you've ever wondered why Michael Jordan quit basketball in the first place, what he thought of Magic Johnson's short comeback, or how he liked playing baseball, Jordan himself will tell you about it.

Summary of Michael Jordan - Above and Beyond (NBA Hardwood Classics)

New to DVD! Seventeen months after Michael retired, he came back with a new challenge-to show himself and the world that he could live up to and even surpass his own awesome legend. Michael speaks about his retirement and his incredible return to the NBA.
In the opening five minutes of this documentary two memorable quotes immediately grab your attention. The first comes from an enthusiastic commentator who rhetorically asks, "Whose game is it? Michael Jordan's game." This may have been said in a moment of energetic excitement, but the words ring true. As do the more seasoned and professional articulations of former Phoenix Suns coach Paul Westphal, who after losing to Jordan's Chicago Bulls in the world championship, profoundly states what the world already knew: "No one can stop him." Apparently, the only man who could stop His Airness was Michael himself.

This documentary and personal interview recaps three of the most perplexing, entertaining, overwhelming, courageous, and painful years of Michael Jordan's life. Starting with the culmination of the 1993 season that saw his Bulls win a third straight championship to his much publicized and triumphant comeback in 1995. His first retirement in 1993 came on the heels of a season that had many ups and downs for a pensive Jordan, who began to have doubts about his ability to feel challenged by professional basketball. Jordan's main concern was feeling ambivalent about his gift to play the game that he loved. When his father was tragically murdered, his hand was forced, as he sensationally declared his retirement at the age of 30. Jordan exiled himself from the game as he came to terms, away from the court, with himself and his father's death. He tried his hand at baseball and a spot of acting but soon returned to the game he adored, much to the adulation of his fans and the world of sports. In many ways this is probably one of the most important biographies on Michael Jordan, because it doesn't focus solely on his game or those last-minute triumphs (his clutch shooting, for example, is so identifiable with his style of play that one day "doing a Jordan" may be a universal term recognizing greatness and reliability under pressure). Instead, this is a journey into the heart and soul of an enigmatic icon that has often been misunderstood. --Jeremy Storey
