“The Last Dance” was superb entertainment — a 10-hour starburst of nostalgia that showcased the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls in general and iconic basketball player Michael Jordan in particular.
But the series focused its Jordan-centric lens only through June 1998, when Jordan was 35 years old and once again standing at basketball’s mountaintop.
Jordan is 57 now. But the ESPN documentary only contained six words in its tiny postscript about MJ’s last 22 years: “Michael Jordan went back into retirement.”
There’s been a lot more to Michael Jordan’s large life than that. He un-retired one final time, playing two seasons for the Washington Wizards.
