Without actual NBA games to watch, basketball fans needed some entertainment. Thankfully, the highly anticipated documentary about Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls, "The Last Dance", has fit the bill. The first eight installments of the documentary are in the books, and they served as a perfect gateway into Jordan's basketball world. The series focuses on the 1997-98 season for Chicago -- Jordan's last year with the Bulls. The first few episodes largely went backward and established Jordan's background as a player while setting the stage for the eventual breakup of the Bulls. They also shed some light on Jordan's head coach, Phil Jackson, and key teammates Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman,
There was already a massive fervor generating for the documentary 20 years in the making, but with the entire nation quarantined, the anticipation swelled considerably -- so much that ESPN chose to air the documentary early, moving up significantly from its originally scheduled June air date.
The documentary, as promised, is delivering never-before-seen footage and anecdotes from Jordan's former coaches, teammates and friends, along with unprecedented access to No. 23 himself, who is notoriously tight-lipped when it comes to media. Jordan has already said he's worried that the documentary will make him look like a "horrible guy," so you know there are going to be some juicy details and interactions with teammates. We already know he once punched Steve Kerr in the face during practice, so there might be even wilder stories in the doc.
The 10-part series has been shown with two back-to-back hour-long episodes every Sunday over the course of five weeks, and has been a shared experience for NBA fans eager for basketball after video game and HORSE tournaments have fallen a bit short. Here's how to watch "The Last Dance" on TV (both censored and uncensored) and how to live stream each episode.
