The latest episodes of The Last Dance on Michael Jordan’s first retirement in 1993 after his father’s death, baseball pursuits, and his competitive nature. So which moments stood out? What was the biggest surprise? The Crossover reacts and offers takeaways.
Initial thoughts
Chris Mannix: Well done, per usual. Loved the deep dive into the Scottie Pippen/Toni Kukoc stuff and the recap of the tragic death of Jordan’s father. If anything, I would have liked to have seen more about Jordan’s baseball career. Clearly that experience reignited some kind of competitive fire in MJ—would have liked to have seen a deeper dive into that.
