9. Really a throwaway moment more than anything, but one I loved because it showed (1) how MJ always had fun with the game, even in ostensibly the most pressure-packed part of the year, and (2) the evolution of MJ and Scottie's relationship in their last few years together, into more of a friendship.
The scene: a joint press room interview with MJ and Pip, following Chicago's tight (and unusually ugly) Game 2 victory in the 1997 Eastern Conference Finals over the Miami Heat. Michael had played probably one of his worst playoff games ever, and Scottie hadn't done much better, but the Bulls had managed to eke it out in the final minutes on the strength of a couple late Jordan jumpshots.
What followed was high comedy.
Classic MJ. Seeing the two of them basically giggling like little schoolgirls still slays me to this day.
