Hungry for sports? I know what everybody has been watching the last couple of weekends: ESPN’s 30 for 30 series in an unprecedented 10-part event: The Last Dance.

In Episode I, we learn about Michael Jordan’s early college years, his days in the NBA, his rookie year with the Bulls and his trip to Paris, and his relationship with the General Manager of the Bulls, Jerry Krause.

In Episode II, we learn about Jordan’s relationship with Scottie Pippen, an injury of Michael Jordan, and Pippen’s dealings with the management. 

In Episode III, we learn about Dennis Rodman. There is a little background of Rodman who played first for The Detroit Pistons and the notorious walk-off and Dennis Rodman’s mini-vacation in Las Vegas. 

In Episode IV, we learn about Phil Jackson, who was first a player, then a coach and his dynamic relationship with Pippen, Jordan, and Rodman and how he led them to be the Team of Teams.

In Episode V, we learn about Air Jordan sneakers, the first designer basketball sneakers that everybody wanted and the commercial success of “Be Like Mike”. Then we learn about the famous “Olympic Dream Team” and quest for the gold medal.

In Episode VI, the book that came out called “Jordan Rules”; we talk about the darker side of Michael Jordan’s gambling.

In Episode VII, the murder of Jordan’s father is discussed, how depressed Jordan became and eventually his retirement from basketball and Jordan pursuing a baseball career for the Chicago White Sox, his retraining, and the movie “Space Jam”.

In Episode VIII, Michael Jordan returns to the NBA, playoffs and how he tried to push his teams to work harder and how he pushed the Bulls harder to get them to win.

In Episode IX, the struggle the Bulls had against the Indiana Pacers and how they played the Utah Jazz when Michael Jordan was sick with food poisoning and how they struggled all odds to win that game.

In Episode X, they win their sixth time championship the struggle of Scottie Pippen and his back. The end of the Bulls dynasty and the eventual retirement of Michael Jordan.

Is this worth watching? Heck, Yeah! Even if you do not like sports, but you like documentaries and you like to learn about the greatest basketball player who ever lived, it shows all sides of Jordan. It shows how kind and generous he was, and his darker side showing that he was not perfect. It also shows how close Jordan was with his teammates and his dad.

If you missed all this, you can catch up on demand. 30 for 30 is always worth watching. Watch this one. There are tons more that you’ll want to watch as well. Give it a watch!
