Some of the void left by North American sports being shut down due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic was filled with ESPN moving up the release date of “The Last Dance,” a 10-episode series on Michael Jordan and the 1998 Chicago Bulls.
Two episodes aired on a weekly basis, with the documentary concluding this past Sunday. An unprecedented look at Jordan and the Bulls captivated not only sports fans but professional athletes alike.
When Jordan’s brief time playing Minor League baseball was a focal point for one of the episodes, Los Angeles Dodgers teammates Justin Turner and Walker Buehler shared friendly banter about the pitcher’s hitting prowess.
