Viewers of “The Last Dance,” the ESPN documentary about the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan’s 1997-98 season, saw Jordan examined from every angle — his childhood, getting cut from his high school basketball varsity team, his time at North Carolina and his storied career with the Bulls, winning six championships and claiming the title of greatest of all time.
While the documentary was focused on the Bulls, of course, the Utah Jazz did make appearances throughout, as they matched up against Chicago in the 1997 and 1998 NBA Finals.
Those who watched the documentary saw John Stockton make what is referred to in Utah as “The Shot” — Jordan’s game-winner against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 1989 NBA playoffs holds the title in the rest of America — against the Houston Rockets in Game 6 of the 1997 Western Conference Finals to send Utah to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history.
