Donald Glover is a Grammy and Emmy winner now, with a number one Billboard hit, a huge Disney blockbuster, and many other projects in the pipeline. But you have to start somewhere, and his big break came with Community, on which he played sheltered and nerdish Troy Barnes up until the end of Season 5. He’s so bit now that, even with everyone quarantining, it was almost a surprise that he made it to Monday’s big charitable table read reunion. Could he ever hope to fit the long-threatened Community movie into his schedule? Even if he can’t, he at least came up with a plot on the fly.

After the reconvened gang (plus scene-stealing guest Pablo Pascal) read through the Season 5 episode “Cooperative Polygraphy” over webcam, the actors started chatting, and eventually they got to wondering about what happened to Troy, who was last heard of lost at sea.

“In the Community world he is definitely dead,” Glover said, a big smile on his face. He then brainstormed a movie in which Abed (Danny Pudi) goes off to find his missing bestie. “What am I doing, writing the movie on the fly or something?” Glover joked. But he was serious when he thought it was a good and outside-the-box idea for a Community motion picture, adding, “I like movies like that.”

Pudi had his back. “I love the idea of Troy being lost and Abed’s mission is to go find him, try to track someone down — that would be fun,” Pudi said. “It writes itself… just put in some Die Hard references.”

Of course, if it turns out they’re serious about a Community search movie — and who knows? — fans will have to wait. “We can’t make movies right now anyway,” Glover reminded everyone.

But Alison Brie — the sometime Annie Edison — thought it sounded good, saying, “I’m in — I think it would be a blast.”

When Michael Jordan retired for the first time in 1993, it was an earth-shattering event. After all, Jordan captained the Chicago Bulls to three consecutive championships and, unlike in 1998, there wasn’t any sort of public expectation that the best basketball player in the universe could even consider hanging up his sneakers. Jordan’s announcement caused myriad reactions, including his own coach saying he was “denying a gift to society” by retiring, but a nine-year-old LeBron James had a strong response of his own.

As the seventh episode of The Last Dance documentary aired earlier in May, James shared that he was moved to tears by Jordan’s decision and, like many, he was stunned by the news.

From there, James appeared on WRTS: After Party on Monday on his Uninterrupted platform and he was asked about his initial tweet and his feelings when Jordan unexpectedly stepped away from the game.

James notes that, like many youth, he looked up to prominent individuals for inspiration, citing athletes like Ken Griffey Jr. and Deion Sanders, as well as musicians of the day. Still, he makes it clear that Jordan was a different kind of admiration entirely, referring to him as an “angel sent from heaven” and speaking about Jordan in a way that could only be described as reverential.

Of course, James found enough inspiration to become an all-time great in his own right, and Jordan ended up returning to action less than two years later. In the end, though, it feels safe to assume that James wasn’t the only youngster that endured a similar feeling when his No. 1 idol chose to retire, and this is an interesting look behind the curtain to see the sincerity in which James discusses the situation, even more than 25 years later.
