What is The Last Dance about?
The Last Dance may be touted as ‘that Michael Jordan documentary’ but it is proving to show far more than the rise of the NBA’s greatest ever player.
Jordan inspired the Chicago Bulls to greatness in the 90s as they won five titles in seven years before turmoil struck the team in 1997.
General manager Jerry Krause made a controversial call to bring coach Phil Jackson’s time in Chicago to an end with unclear motives for doing so, a move that sparked anger among the dressing room with Jordan stating he wouldn’t play for the Bulls without Jackson in charge.

The series flashes backwards and forwards through time detailing the rise of stars including Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman, their college days, their glory years, their steady decline, the glories and controversies that jewelled their careers.
There are current day interviews with the key figures involved, as well as a huge amount of archive clips and unaired footage from all time periods.
