“The Last Dance” night one review

By Matthew Soderberg | Sports Writer

His “Airness.” Air Jordan. The Greatest. Ever. There’s no dispute, and ESPN is going to take advantage of that over the next five weeks with their documentary “The Last Dance.” But like Michael Jordan himself, the 10-part show is complex.

“The Last Dance” focuses on MJ’s final season with the Chicago Bulls when the team won its sixth title in eight years. However, since the documentary covers one of the most impactful players in sports history, it has to go further than just one season.

About half of episode one focuses on the preseason of 1997-1998, with the other half focusing on Jordan’s time before the NBA.
