The first two episodes of ESPN’s “The Last Dance” finally arrived on Sunday, and — for the first night in a month — the NBA fans of the world had what they wanted. For two hours, fans received an unprecedented look into the lives of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and the rest of the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls.
Between its background, subject matter and timing with the sports world shut down by the coronavirus pandemic, “The Last Dance” premiered as quite possibly the most anticipated sports documentary of all time.
It was certainly appointment viewing for NBA Twitter, which went into a frenzy on a moment’s notice throughout the two hours.
