This is not about the “Space Jam” Michael Jordan.
Forget about Nike Mike, that hanging-around-with-Mars-Blackmon, casually chill image of Jordan.
Oh no, we are not getting another hagiography about that “Be Like Mike” version of arguably the NBA’s greatest player ever.
ESPN’s long-anticipated 10-part documentary “The Last Dance,’’ which premieres with the first two hourlong episodes Sunday at 9 p.m., followed with two new episodes the following four weeks, is a behind-the-scenes look at the Chicago Bulls during the 1997-98 season, the last season of their dynasty.
The footage largely comes from 1997-98, when coach Phil Jackson and Bulls management allowed an NBA Entertainment crew behind the scenes with the team for the full season.
