Air Jordan is Cannes Bound

Filed under: Film Flickers > Zportz

Straight dudes all over the place will be happy about this!

Spike Lee announced in Cannes on Monday that he is directing a feature-length documentary about Michael 'Air' Jordan, who some argue is the best pro-basketball player in history.

Lee revealed that he hopes to bring the doc to next year's Cannes Festival.

MJ on the Cannes red carpet!

The project will feature previously-unseen footage shot by NBA cameras during the final two years in Jordan's career, the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons.

Michael is just the latest sports star to get the documentary treatment.

Retired boxer Mike Tyson is currently in Cannes, where a film about him is screening.

Who's next????

      I love Spike Lee & Jordan. However, I can't see how Lee can be objective since he's worked with Jordan in the past & I assume they're friends.

      He is the best NBA player of all time. He had class and a great appreciation for the game. It wasn't about bling bling or starting fights like today's NBA stars. Different times we live in. Can't wait to see this flick when it's done.

      "Some argue" because Larry Bird exists. Go check out your old footage, people! Mike rocks but Bird rules too. No one had seen anything like Larry Bird before and after is "arguable".

    45. DJ says – reply to this


      45

      What do you "straight dudes"???? A lot of us GAY DUDES were born in households that promoted sports, we played sports and we appreciate them. - and the genius of Michael Jordan. GAY is not all about gowns, hair, awards shows, shiteous pop singers, divas, drag queens and heterophobic bloggers.

      Larry Bird was better!

      who some argue?

      of course he's the best player in history you fat fuck. the fuck does SOME argue mean?

      Actually, the Diego Maradona documentary is getting more press attention than the Mike Tyson one at Cannes. Maradona was an international sensation and he partied hard and long. People literally worship him.

      Re: crazytalk – Are you kidding?! Maybe if you consider 5.9 rebounds, 21.5 points, and 4.5 assists per game at 40 years old as 'sucking'…crazy, he was a phenom his entire career.

    52. Mike says – reply to this

      they should do one about 'oscar pistorius' the paralympic athlete who's just won the right to compete in the able-bodied olympics. few stories are that inspiring

      OKAY!!! I have a bone 2 pick with SPIKE LEE, if U R reading Spike listen. I am a native from chi-town and I saw MJ at his best, So my question is why are you choosing the last 2 suckiest years of his life on the court when he has such a long life time of acomplishments. Michael Jordan deserves his props. He was better than Colby Bryant in his younger years and that is what you need to highlight. Don't go making another documentry of Colby showing that he is the best. Colby is one of the best because I believe he has emulated ( don't know if i spelled it right) :) Michael Jordans moves throughout his career. Give props where props need to be given. Age slows everybody down. IMO MJ was and is the best b-ball player that ever lived. I was there when he won all the championships, I saw it happen.

      That's bc he is the best basketball player in the country maybe even the best in the world
