Nothing about the film is credible. Michael Jordan had an unprecedented marketing deal, won championships, was the king of it all, and threw it all away to play minor league baseball. Today he’s still a billionaire, gets to gamble all he wants, is generally reclusive and unremarkable in private life. Sports are just ludicrous. Who cares. Life goes on. Nobody will even remember who Michael Jordan is in 50 years. He’ll be like Honus Wagner. |

Do most people need $10m? What about 5m? 3m? 2m? 1m? Dementia Mom is mid-70s, rents a small house, doesn’t want to travel any more, has a $1.1m IRA and is afraid to spend a dime. Surely that’s not an ideal outcome. |

He’s known for being a degenerate gambler and getting his dad killed. He’s known for his disastrous left turn in his career. He’s remembered as the quintessential jock who turned down lower alley to disastrous results, but came back home and found his way again.
