We know how this movie ends, but it’s still a classic.
My guess is the ratings in Chicago for ESPN’s “Game 6: The Movie” will be at least triple the viewership in say, Salt Lake City, given how the Game 6 in question was on June 13, 1998, when the Bulls knocked off the Jazz on the road to clinch their sixth championship and dance one last time before the band broke up and the key contributors went their separate ways.
For the last couple of months, the networks and the major cable sports channels have plugged some of the gaping holes in their schedules with replays of everything from the Masters to the 1975 World Series to last year’s NBA Finals to Auburn football when Bo Jackson was a blazing comet piercing SEC defenses.
