3 – A beautiful soundtrack

From the first chapters, the soundtrack fits in perfectly with the atmosphere Bulls, Especially thanks to the introductory music of the United Center, Sirius of Alan Parsons Project.

Then, each music explains what the series wants to show: When Jordan debuts NBA, He has to prove himself and show it “I’m not kidding” (Title by Eric P. & Rakim). When Jordan becomes the boss, that’s it «Down with the King of Run-TMC. It echoes in our ears.

All his time Bulls, Scotty Pippon He may be the lowest paid player in the league considering his status. If his rugged contract is honest, he signed a five-year extension in 1991, which will take effect in 1993, for a total of $ 18 million. Except in the meantime, especially thanks to the media impact Jordan And dynasty Bulls, TV rights and revenue from commercialization will explode.
