The People You're Paying to Be in Shorts | Dorktown

Показать описание

It’s 2011. For Michael Jordan, the year ahead will be a very strange one. Once a player who could seemingly deliver championships through sheer force of will, the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats is finally developing the one skill he had always denied himself: patience. Nothing about that is easy, and nothing about the lovable, unforgettable 2011-2012 Bobcats will be easy. But as much as he despises losing, Mike has always seemed to love the struggle.

Dorktown presents THE PEOPLE YOU’RE PAYING TO BE IN SHORTS, a new feature-length documentary from Secret Base. Director Jon Bois and producer Alex Rubenstein wrote and narrated this one alongside Seth Rosenthal and Kofie Yeboah.

Rights specialist: Lindley Sico
Secret Base executive producer: Will Buikema
Secret Base managing editor: Ryan Nanni
A couple of goofs to point out:
1:02:50 – Typo in the citation. Wright Thompson’s profile of Michael Jordan was published on February 22nd, 2013.
1:32:47 – The Bobcats were separated from the next-worst team by five wins, not five losses.

The fact that I can experience this for free on demand is incredible.

Jon Bois is the Michael Jordan of talking about Michael Jordan.

I was a ranked top 15 player in NBA 2k5 back in the day and there was a guy that was ranked high as well that only played with the Bobcats. He was under 500 and ranked very high still because well, he only played with the Bobcats lol. He told me that he was from that area and that will be the team he rides with. I hope he gets a chance to watch this all these years later.

Never forget they're called the Bobcats because the team owner was named Bob.

"He loses for a living, and he cannot be defeated." Would be an all-time quote for most other people. For Jon, it's just one of three dozen telephone poles that go whizzing by on a casual Sunday drive.

Jon’s commitment to calling MJ “Mike” and the way he treated him calling him Michael Jordan as a huge reveal is incredible. ESPECIALLY since every other narrator has already called him Michael Jordan so many times

RIP Paul Silas.

This season is not all you are remembered for, but you were a champ for not quitting on this team. Thanks for everything.

I can’t wait for “The People You’re Paying To Be In Shorts: Part II” featuring both the ‘24 Pistons and Wizards

I really loved the way that Jon conversationally chatting with Michael "Mike" Jordan was the emotional through-line of this entire documentary. Just felt right.

"There's nowhere he'd rather be", for all the goofs, dumb stats, and silly storylines, what I appreciate most about Secret Base is the times they give some attention and love to the people behind them.
Stephen just wanted to coach with his dad, win or lose. That's wonderful.

"He loses for a living and he cannot be defeated." That's a raw line.

'If this ended today, it would 100 percent be worth it' - Stephen Silas. Never pass up an opportunity to do work worth doing with the people you love. RIP, Paul.
