A look at the 10-part documentary series on Michael Jordan’s final season with the Chicago Bulls.

Lakers star LeBron James and many other basketball fans got their wish Monday when news leaked that the 10-part Michael Jordan documentary series “The Last Dance” will begin airing April 19 instead of the previously announced June 2.

The New York Post’s Andrew Marchand reported Monday night to expect an announcement of the new air date Tuesday. It happened, with ESPN announcing the change on “Good Morning America.”

James was among the chorus of people who thought that, with the NBA season suspended indefinitely because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no better time to release the series than now.
