What if we could just give people what they want? We thought that would be better. And now that's kind of what it is. And it's so much worse. Because now the reader is kind of seen as a customer.

Aber ich meine, und das könnte eine Vorstellung sein, aber wenn ich Pippen bin, weißt du, was für eine Teil der Dokumentation mich verrückt hätte? The time when Jordan says, you know, you gotta say it. Pippen was the best player I played with. He was my best teammate. If I'm Scottie Pippen, I'm like, yes, obviously, yes. Why are you...
