The sports world finally was able to begin watching The Last Dance after ESPN moved up the premiere due to the lack of programming caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. There were several revelations in just the first two hours including how underpaid Scottie Pippen was. For LA Clippers’ fans, one of the bigger moments was hearing Ralph Lawler call out Michael Jordan‘s greatness.
It was in a small part of the documentary, centered around how much the 1997-98 Bulls were struggling to win without Pippen in their lineup. Pippen, who was unhappy with his contract, opted to have surgery on his foot right as the season started.
