A few weeks ago I stumbled upon the mini series The Last Dance, I had heard about all the hype surrounding this show, but what really pulled me in was the fact that we were gonna get to know about Michael Jordan’s background. Michael Jordan has become a household name and a worldwide icon. His skill on the court, work ethic, and charisma has garnered him the title of being one of the best basketball players of all time, if not the best. But after watching the show what really struck me was his unrelenting leadership on the Bulls team, and how he overcame trials in his personal life that affected his career.
The Last Dance chronicles the Chicago Bulls rise to fame in the 1990’s and what came before that time period. The timeline moves from different years that included Michael Jordan’s presence on the team and off. It not only gives us insight on MJ himself, but the rest of the players and management behind this dynasty.
While the timeline aspect of this film wasn’t executed entirely well, I can say that this was pretty engaging from start to finish. The montage’s of MJ and the Bull’s in their prime is truly a revelation to watch. These players and MJ achieve levels of athleticism that I did not know were possible.
We are also given real time narration from the old players who remember quiet vividly their experience on the team.
All in all, its a pretty engaging documentary series that is worth your time. Even if you aren’t a die hard Bulls fan or basketball fan is still is interesting.
