The 7 best quotes from the first two episodes of ‘The Last Dance’

So good.

The Last Dance is already gave us some amazing moments in its first two episodes — the letter Michael Jordan sent to his mother, the wild story about rookie MJ walking in on the debauchery that the 1984 Chicago Bulls were a part of and more.

And then, there are the quotes we’ll take with us for a while. There are so many good ones from those eps that we have to review and — probably — turn into memes. So far, they’re mostly Jordan-related, and that should come as no surprise since the documentary is mostly about him.

Here they are, in all their glory (and, WARNING: some of these have some NSFW language in them):

1. The “headache” response

In his second season, Jordan suffered a foot injury that probably should have ended his year. But Jordan pushed hard to come back even though the Bulls didn’t have the best shot at a title, leading to an exchange with owner Jerry Reinsdorf, who asked him if coming back was worth the 10 percent risk that the injury could be career-threatening:

2. “Can I get a hug too?”

Oh, Scott Burrell. Don’t you know who you’re talking to?

3. “I’m not gonna (expletive) my summer up”

That’s why Scottie Pippen decided not to get surgery until closer to the 1997-98 season. And what a quote that was!

4. “That was God disguised as Michael Jordan”

Larry Bird repeated what he said to reporters in 1986 when Jordan dropped 63 points in a playoff loss to Bird’s Boston Celtics.

5. “Would you mind signing this, please?”

I’m cheating a bit — it’s not the quote, but the reaction that got me before Jordan appeared on a French television show.

6. “He’s a rookie here”

Man, Charles Oakley. I get the rookie treatment, but a slap to the face?

7. “I was better than he was … for about two weeks”

That’s Hall of Famer James Worthy.
