00:00 I'm Melissa Roland with Sports Illustrated here with Jill Painter-Lopez.
00:06 Now Jill, like the rest of us, Lakers owner Jeannie Best was at home watching the last
00:11 dance documentary last night.
00:13 What were her takeaways?
00:15 Well, Melissa, I mean you got to see her admiration and love for Michael Jordan, but what was
00:20 interesting was she said in the 90s she couldn't stand to hear Michael Jordan's name, obviously
00:25 because the Bulls had won six championships in eight seasons, which was difficult to hear
00:29 any other team in the NBA, especially the Lakers.
00:33 But what she also said was what she learned along the way is when you're able to honor
00:37 and respect your opponent, it brings out the best of you along the way.
00:41 So that was pretty cool to see her evolution.
00:44 And she talked about being so proud of the friendship and love that she's been able to
00:48 build with Michael Jordan along the way.
00:50 So interesting to see kind of her progression of Michael Jordan's career as well.
00:54 Sure.
00:55 It's much easier for her to like Jordan now that is long retired.
00:59 Absolutely.
