It was an undoubted joy for Milwaukee Bucks fans who settled into watch the debut of ESPN’s The Last Dance, the documentary series on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, when the familiar face of franchise legend Sidney Moncrief appeared on screen.
At the same time, the fact that Moncrief would end up appearing in any documentary about Jordan’s greatness isn’t really surprising at all.
Moncrief’s legacy is arguably not what it should be at this point. Thankfully, his long overdue wait to be inducted into the Hall of Fame came to an end in 2019, but the fact Moncrief had to wait so long in the first place speaks to the larger issue.
