"washington post" calls in the most famous man on earth. fellow nba player preferring to jordan as jesus in nikes. this is again an example of how in the 1980s we started deifying the individual who could soar above his team. this gets actually further decontextualized even for michael jordan. just becomes this image. it doesn't even matter that it is mike will jordan anymore. this becomes i argue in the 1980s, a cult of the individual. this is a time when a lot of the self-help industry begins to explode. we see in a lot of our popular culture the movies and television shows about how the individual is the savior of society. societal institutions cannot take society into itself. here are just some examples of these iconic products, these iconic cultural products that say the individual can save everybody. and they save everybody with lines and i had to inc

it is easy to win when you have michael jordan, kobe bryant, bill walton. does that diminishes his accomplishments, the talent that he happened to have? >> we got into that one night. he said that no coach can win without talent. not every coach can coach talent. i would argue that coaching michael jordan, scottie pippen, that is the easiest job in the world. kobe and shaq, it will take the wizard of oz to handle that. the wall center back in his day and all of those guards. then bill walton came along. coach to his last breath it would always kid and joke about bill walton. it was not easy with vietnam and all of the protests. they ended up as close as a player and coach could get. he knew how to make talent to work together. to play as a team, that is the the big job. tavis: are these the principles that resonate most with pat williams? >> make sure -- make each day your masterpiece. not formally educated. a farmer in the midwest. he had a way with words. i think about that every day. we are going to makes this day the best it can be. strive for perfectio

he said michael jordan was the greatest scorer of all time, which is -- i don't know what's going on with pippen, but that's ridiculous. everyone knows the best scorer of all-time was teen wolf. he had girlfriend named boof so end of argument right there. the dallas mavericks have a lot of veteran players. they were the oldest team in the playoffs this year. and, you know, it's a lot harder to jump when your shorts are filled with silver dollars and hard candy, so -- [ laughter ] the mavericks are so old that if the series ends in miami they're planning to just stay there and live out their remaining days. it's funny listening to the announcers talk about how old these guys are and realizing that every one of them is at least five years younger than i am. i've been watching a lot of the pre and post game analysis of the series. it's very important to watch this stuff, so you know what to feel and how to think. but i'll be honest. i miss charles barkley. charles barkley is a lot of fun to watch. so, to inject a bit of charles into this series, we took the audio from his show "inside t

over 3 months i hand typed 580 letters and wrote dollar michael jordan and dear mr. stalone. guess what happened? nothing. at christmas i got a check from tom brocaw for a hundred dollars. i sold my car a buick for 500 dollars in a seedy area in oakland. by spring i raised 200 dollars. my marth was a principal at an elementary school. she invited me to talk to the kids. when i was leaving a fourth grader looked me in the eye and said, i have a piggy bank at home and i will help you raise money for the school in pakistan. i didn't think anything of it. 6 weeks later the school is raised 65,000 penes. >> main stage's loud efts performance was about bief the detroit native high strung. they had an energyic performance. the concert was a plash back to the kinks and the who and tv shows like hala blue. ladies and gentlemen. the high strung.

no more of the michael jordan cannot speak out because politics is not a good thing to speak out against. it will be the jamaican musicians, the peter toshes and bob marleys -- the people -- the politicians had to be responsive to what people were saying and doing because there was a movement around these high- profile folks. they cannot just represent the movement. they have to come out of the movement. it has to be present in our communities and schools and prisons even for that to happen. otherwise, we end up with the tail wagging the dog. these boats we have artificially created to be our saviors, and we need to be our own saviors. [applause] >> how do you see -- and this is to either one of you -- do you see the new disciplinary action, the prison system at this point, and where do we go? because you are doing wonderful work in the system. where we go to make that not happen anymore? >> i also want to throw out because sister davis is here and working with restorative justice for youth, to invite her voice into that question as well. >> what we are doing in oakland is to try to brea

i did a story about zeus garcia who was kind of like the michael jordan of the oaxacan indian basketball in the mountains and he is now a bus boycott been l.a.. he had made the trip and he came with this deep desire to teach americans about the true purity of basketball which he knew, which we did not because we corrupted it with the nba. this was really his point of view basically, and along the way he had this great kind of mission, this grade of session to teach us about the real way basketball should be played and to make sure the oaxacan indians did not the way basketball should be played once they got here. but along the way you know he ignored his life -- wife. his kid who he named urban or urban magic johnson, he kind of did quite attend to him as well as he could. still the man was a remarkable figure. it is this kind of deep complexity and humanity that i loved about the immigrant stories that also lend themselves to asking about which is the longform tradition of stories. you want to tell a full story that also requires endless amounts of energy. i mean really really lots and
