The series is really enjoyable, especially given the circumstances, but it's a pretty gentle examination of Jordan.
Initially, I didn't realize he had some control in the production. And when he said people might not like him after viewing, I thought this might be a little more real and gritty. That was just advertising. It's pillowy soft. Even when he looks "bad," he's given the last word (frustrated teammates just weren't as competitive as him, the true champion). He's sad he has to stay in his hotel room while cashing gajillion dollar checks that put his face on every TV in the world. Fame's a *****. I could only imagine how isolating it is, and we're all in our own emotional prisons, but with a little context it ain't a bad life he was living.
Plain and simple, he was a jerk. Let him wear it.
