The critically acclaimed documentary “The Last Dance,” the story of legendary basketball player Michael Jordan and the 1997-1998 World Champion Chicago Bulls, debuted episodes 7 and 8 on Sunday night, May 10, on the ESPN network.
First, the murder of Jordan’s father:
James R. Jordan Sr. was the primary focus of episodes 7 and 8 of “The Last Dance.”
Last, the 1996 historic season: After 18 months of playing baseball, Jordan would finally return to play the game he loved the most—basketball.
And after losing to the Orlando Magic in the 1995 Eastern Conference Playoffs, Jordan would use the off season to get into basketball shape and lead his team to a historic 72-10 record and a fourth NBA championship.
ESPN’s 10-part documentary “The Last Dance,” which aired again on Sunday night, May 17 (Part 9 and Part 10), is expected to reveal everything you ever wanted to know about Jordan and the Bulls, who are, arguably, the greatest team in NBA history.
