We are told of how Jordan’s father’s murder had a profound impact on the star. He switched to baseball for a while because it was his father’s dream to watch his young son play the sport.
Meanwhile, Pippen tries to hold the fort without Jordan, allowing Toni Kukoc his moment to shine in the game against the Knicks.
