Michael Jordan is one of the most recognized and celebrated athletes in history. Michael Jordan: Air Time takes the viewer on a journey into the life of this superstar, both on the court and off.

"Michael Jordan: Air Time" documents Jordan and the Chicago Bulls' 1991-92 season, including Jordan dealing with his friend and rival Magic Johnson's retirement announcement, gambling allegations, talk of the team possibly breaking the long-in-place season win record with 70 victories, filming a music video with Michael Jackson, and other obstacles throughout the course of the year. The video follows this with the "Dream Team" (Jordan and his fellow NBA stars) gaining worldwide attention as they partake and dominate in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, and concludes with the Bulls' championship ring ceremony in the fall of '92
It is easy to become blinded by Michael Jordan's rising star, to see only the slam dunks and focused teamwork. But in the periphery is the motivation behind his incredible talent. What sparks the fire that lead to his domination of the sport of basketball? What could make the most successful athlete of all time retire at 30? In Above and Beyond, Jordan's psychological traits are dissected, his greatness stripped of legendary status and made real. The video explores the reasonings behind Jordan's unprecedented 1993 departure from the sport that made him famous. Through interviews and commentary, it replays his 1995 return to the Chicago Bulls. In between was Jordan's father's murder, his foray into baseball, and his struggle to accept the limitations of his fate. Above and Beyond gives a deeper sense of Jordan's character, one not normally found in sports documentaries.
Every legend has a beginning. Come Fly With Me is the story of Michael Jordan's. Though now his name is linked to greatness, in his youth Jordan struggled like so many athletes, even getting cut from his high school team. The 50-minute tape explores Jordan's roots in North Carolina and subsequent drafting into the NBA. The story is told through interviews with those that knew Jordan best -- his coaches and friends. Come Fly With Me was made before Jordan's run of championship wins with the Chicago Bulls. Still, the graceful player's destiny is apparent in the early game footage. Despite Jordan's sterling reputation, the shining moments of this video are the action segments. From slam-dunk contests to college clips, Come Fly With Me recalls a younger Jordan, hungry and eager to please, and provides a captivating addition to the sports fan's collection.

Factual errors: When the film starts showing a few highlights of Game 3 of the NBA Finals, one of the clips is of Michael Jordan doing a side-to-side (right side of the hoop to the left side of it) reverse move and scoring. This is a move that he did in Game 2 of the 1997 NBA Finals, more than a year earlier. Although the Bulls are playing the Utah Jazz in the same instance, this documentary is supposed to be based on the 1998 season.
"I'm doing it for the love of the game, nothing else." -Michael Jordan, Pre-season 2001.

Dennis Keith Rodman (born May 13, 1961) is a retired American professional basketball player of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. Born in Trenton, New Jersey, he was nicknamed "Dennis the Menace" and "The Worm" and was known for his fierce defensive and rebounding abilities. Playing small forward in his early years before becoming a power forward, Rodman earned NBA All-Defensive First Team honors seven times and was voted NBA Defensive Player of the Year twice. He also led the NBA in rebounds per game for a record seven consecutive years and won five NBA championships (1989, 1990, 1996, 1997, 1998).
Experiencing an unhappy childhood, Rodman was shy and introverted in his early years. After aborting a suicide attempt in 1993, he reinvented himself as the prototypical "bad boy" and became notorious for numerous controversial antics. He dyed his hair in artificial colors, presented himself with many piercings and tattoos and regularly disrupted games by clashing with opposing players and officials. He famously wore a wedding dress to promote his autobiography. Rodman pursued a high-profile affair with singer Madonna and was briefly married to actress Carmen Electra.
