Jordan also said this about Longley in a documentary that came out after the last dance. "I can understand why Australia would say why wouldn't we include Luc' and we probably should have," Jordan said. "I guess if you look back and say 'could I change anything' that's what I could have changed. "Luc matters to me. We went through the trenches, we shared a lot. We competed together. I would take him any day of the week. If you ask me to do it all over again there is no way I would leave Luc Longley off my team." The reason Longley wasn’t involved in The Last Dance had more to do with Covid and the fact that he lives in a very remote location in Australia than it did Mike’s ego. Plus he was recovering from surgery related to injuries suffered during his NBA career. It’s a really good watch and the respect that Jordan has for him is obvious

I don’t really think Jerry Sloan did such an effective job coaching in that series. The Jazz got blown out by 42 points in Game 3, after having lost Game 2 on their home floor and blowing home court advantage. The Jazz were lucky enough to squeak by and win Game 1. Then in Game 6 the Jazz failed to take advantage of the fact that Scottie Pippen was injured, they allowed Jordan to dominate and help the Bulls keep pace with Utah.

Pippen injured his back during the ‘98 ECF against the Pacers, then he re-aggravated the injury before Game 6 in Utah. He played Game 6 but was severely limited by the injury, scoring only 8 points.

@Sean OK! But why are you discussing the finals, or the other commentator, when the posted video has nothing to do with the finals? Jordan is referring to a specific regular season game that Pippin missed where Longley excelled in the 1st quarter in his absence. Stay on topic! Also, I always like typical "fan logic!" So, when the Jazz win game #1 in the '98 series at home- they were "lucky!" I'm assuming then when the Bulls won game #1 at home in the '97 series on Kerr's last second shot, that it had nothing to do with luck? How about they were well played games by two excellent teams, where the difference, both in '97 & '98, was the Bulls had maybe the greatest player to lace 'em up? Luck is for people who look at the past and want to "rewrite" narratives to fit their confirmation biases! Good day!

Longley played less than 3 minutes in Q2 and actually had positive +/-. MJ played 11 minutes in Q2 and had -11 +/-. MJ played all 12 minutes in Q3 and had -13 +/-. tl;dr The Jazz actually blew out the Bulls in Q2 and Q3 while MJ was on the court, not while Longley was on the court.
