You really have to watch the entire episode and the series. But here is the back story.  UCONN Alumni Scott Burrell was a teammate of MJ.  MJ would ride Burrell unmercifully during practices.   MJ said he just wanted Burrell to fight him back but he was "too nice a guy".  One Day after  a  game Burrell brought two friends  into the locker room to meet MJ.   I believe Scott  said the guys in the clip  were former UCONN teammates. They mentioned that they drove all the way from CT for the Bulls game in Chicago. Anyway MJ sits with  Burrell's friends and right away MJ starts  talking trash while he signing autographs. MJ starts the digging by saying UCONN has a great Women's Team.   The reason that was put in this episode is that the Director wanted to show that at practice MJ was an "balloon knot"-not my words Will Perdue said it.  Once practice and games were over that same balloon knot would do anything for his teammates.    In a previous episode, as you can imagine tickets were hard to come by because most people assumed Michael was done playing.   MJ always had tickets for his teammates even during road games & even for player that weren't starters like Randy Brown.
