As we creep closer and closer to the new April 19 release date for ESPN’s “The Last Dance” documentary on the ’90s Bulls dynasty, a palpable buzz is building.
Bill Simmons — current CEO of The Ringer, formerly of ESPN — added to that in a recent appearance on The Herd, a radio show hosted by Colin Cowherd on FS1.
In Simmons’ time at ESPN, he famously pioneered the 30-for-30 documentary series that has since swelled in popularity and name-brand recognition. Over the course of a six-minute interview with Cowherd, Simmons recalled the universal reverence for Michael Jordan and those ’90s Bulls at the time, and also Jordan’s reluctance to peel the curtain back on their exploits.
