“This the Greatest Player” – David Beckham’s Netflix Documentary Likened to Michael Jordan’s ‘The Last Dance’ With a Sensational Claim

David Beckham and his influence transcend mere words. Now, fans around the world have the opportunity to witness the sheer magnitude of his career in the new documentary, ‘Beckham.’ As the entertainment world buzzes with anticipation following its release, the documentary has garnered comparisons to Michael Jordan’s iconic ‘The Last Dance’, and with it comes a sensational claim.

From his glory days at Manchester United and Real Madrid to the harsh fan fury following his infamous red card that ended England’s World Cup dreams, entertainment might not be a succinct word for the docuseries.

David Beckham’s Netflix documentary draws comparisons to Michael Jordon’s ‘The Last Dance’

The Netflix documentary about David Beckham is officially out, and ardent fans are eagerly tuning in with enthusiasm. ‘Beckham’ also became a topic of discussion on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast with Akaash Singh, AlexxMedia, and Mark Gagnon.

Interestingly, the crew were all praises for the Netflix series. However, co-host Akaash Singh made a startling claim by comparing it with Michael Jordan’s ‘The Last Dance.’ He said, “I don’t know soccer so you tell me. It felt like OD, like the Jordan documentary. He’s undeniably top two at the very least best basketball player of all time in the entire history of the universe. I don’t ever hear people put Beck in the top five or top 10 and the way they’re talking about him, it’s like, this is the greatest player to ever set foot on grass.”

Singh says he has never heard people talk about Beckham as they did about Jordan. Nevertheless, fans are still loving the series, as are the Flagrant stars. However, it failed to impress a few, who insist the documentary is seeking sympathy from viewers.

A massive claim about the David Beckham documentary

Katie Spencer, Claire Gregory, and Stevie Wong, participants on Sky Sports’ podcast ‘Backstage,’ engaged in a candid discussion about how the show attempts to evoke sympathy for Beckham without substantial cause. After Katie shared her thoughts, Gregory, the show’s host, concurred, noting that the documentary seems intent on portraying Beckham as highly sympathetic. Claire expressed this as a sense of “no one should feel sorry for you, David.”

Katie Spencer then mentioned her perception that the emotional aspects have been overemphasized in an effort to generate viewer sympathy for Beckham. She conveyed the idea that the docuseries tend to depict David as a victim of various circumstances. “His poor dad that had to go that premier with him basically saying, ‘My dad bullied me all the time into doing football!‘ It’s like it worked out alright for you mate, just doing a few kicks on Saturday!” Be that as it may, it is quite an eyebrow-raising statement.
