How to watch and stream ESPN’s ‘The Last Dance’ documentary on Michael Jordan and the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls.
I’m not sure if there’s ever been as much hype heading into the release of a documentary as there’s been in anticipation of ESPN’s ‘The Last Dance.’ The only one, in recent history, that I can remember that comes close was ESPN’s ‘O.J.: Made in America’.
ESPN released that documentary, which centered around O.J. Simpson in 2016 and was also a multi-part series, in 2016. And while it was easy to see why that documentary would garner significant interest, even more so, and in a much different way, ‘The Last Dance’ appears to be on track to do monster numbers as soon as it’s released.
Based on Michael Jordan and his final season with the Chicago Bulls in 1997-98, there are many possible directions that this documentary can take.

From the first five minutes that were released Friday, it appears (and this is a very educated guess with no information on the chronological order of the documentary) that the first couple of episodes will likely begin with explaining the relationship between Michael Jordan, the Bulls, and the team’s general manager Jerry Krause.
That’s what the five minutes built up. And, for a 10-part series, you’d have to believe that the story is going to unfold slowly. There is an important foundation that needs to be set that involves egos, franchise hierarchy, and it appears it very much involves Krause and Jordan.

With that said, this is a made-for-TV moment and the likes of one that we haven’t seen in quite a long time (one that wasn’t a live sporting event). Plus, considering that most of us are home anyways, this is absolutely the entertainment that America needs in a time such as this one.
