Steven M. Sipple: Jordan's demanding style reminiscent of at least one rather blunt ex-Husker

This country frankly needs bad-you-know-whats like Jordan to inspire us to be better.

To be tougher. To be willing to lead. Willing to excel. Willing to get off the mat, if necessary.

With the ESPN documentary series "The Last Dance" sharing new interviews and never-before-seen video of Jordan's basketball career, he's taking our minds off a world health crisis by helping carry us back into the 1990s journey of the Chicago Bulls' six NBA championships. The 10-part series, which ends Sunday night, takes an in-depth look at the Bulls' dynasty through the lens of the final championship season in 1997-98.
