    Explanation for the part at 8:59 - Muhammad Ali did a few bug spray commercials, starred in a Broadway play, and did a publicity thing where he fought a Japanese wrestler. Not sure about the other 2 events but the Broadway play was during a period of time when he'd been stripped of his title and banned from fighting because he refused to go to Vietnam when he was drafted.

    Liston was the opponent he'd knocked down in the iconic photo turned into a poster with the pose he makes as he says that line. Jordan's like about bug spray etc was in reference to endorsements Ali took (Deet, iirc), and the line about the japanese dude was in reference to an exhibition match Ali took for money in Japan. Seem to recall Ali mandated no kicking unless on the ground so the guy just basically took a knee and kept kicking Ali's legs till he went down and ended up basically sitting on him.

    So for the Liston one. It is in reference to another boxer Sonny Liston. If you ever google Muhammad Ali, the very 1st thing you will see of him besides some head shots, is a photo of him standing over a boxer laying on the canvas, with Ali standing over top of him, his arm crossed in front of his body looking down at him. The guy on the ground is Liston, and it is 1 of the most famous photos in sports history.... and if you notice in the rap, Ali makes the arm motion at the same time as making the comment.

    There was a famous exhibition match to see if boxers (stand-up game) or wrestlers (ground game) were better. The fight was against Antonio Inoki in the 70s. Seems like it would have been one of, if not the first attempt at a MMA style fight.
    Due to Ali registering as a conscientious objector to the war in Vietnam, and refusal to accept his draft notice ("I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong"), he was stripped of his Boxing title as well as license, so he was effectively unable to work for a couple of years. To make money, he ended up writing a book, doing college speaking tours, and I believe had to do ads/commercials to survive.

    Just to add to what other people had said regarding Michael Jordan's last lines, this is also an call back to a commercial he did for McDonald's where he and Larry Bird would compete on getting a basket, hitting nothing but net. Like, through the window, over the rafters hit nothing but net. Then you see it happen. Those commercials were funny back in the day.

    Ali's refusals to be drafted into the Vietnam War is one of the biggest historical events that changed the course of the support of that war. He gave up his title, millions of $ on his principles. If he did go he wouldn't have been on the frontlines. He would have been more like an ambassador. He refused. It was bold, brave and a major part of his legacy.

    if memory serves me right he said something in the lines of "i'm not going over there to [verb that triggers goggle and would get this autodeleted, but you know from the context what verb this is] people who have not done anything to me". they took his boxing title and tried to make his life miserable, but he still didnt go.
    also it has been mathematically demonstrated that jordan is the goat.
    my hope is that eventually someone even better will show up....but whomever that player is, he still hasnt made it to the nba.

    His name was Cassius Clay (also known as 'The Louisville Lip', yep he was from Kentucky) before converting to Islam and being granted the name Muhammed Ali. He was already anti-war and when he was taken before the draft board, they called the name Cassius Clay to be inducted into the Army. He obviously refused to be recognized by this name, and that along with his anti-war politics got him arrested and stripped of his boxing title. Finally the Supreme Court overturned his conviction for draft dodging, but it took away his prime years for his career. Ali's is a really fascinating story, and he was a man I admired tremendously. You should check out Will Smith's portrayal of him in the movie "Ali".

      There is also a difference between a judicious use of makeup to enhance the physical resemblance of the actor to the person they are portraying and putting on a ton of makeup to become a characiture persona.
      I think this video falls in the first category. Both actors are portraying real people, and attempting to do it fairly faithfully in a rap battle format. If one, or both, came out as a goofy parody, then the makeup used could be seen as part of the problem.
      ERB wouldn't be so Epic if they didn't go the extra length with their costumes and makup.

    I love space jam, but objectively it is really a bad movie.
