The first two episodes of The Last Dance air on ESPN Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET. Use this open thread to discuss the episodes. Heads up: we won’t be writing about it until Tuesday so folks who need a day to catch up can do so. Not that you can spoil a 22-year-old sporting event, but …
Does anyone feel bad for Jerry Krause? I was surprised there was so much background stuff (which was great) and so little behind the scenes. That will probably change in future episodes.
Really enjoy the stuff on Scottie Pippen. I knew there would be coverage of Jordan, but I think I underestimated that this was a doc about the entire Bulls 97-98 team, not just Jordan. Glad I was wrong, learning about Pippen's parents and family was really moving.
What was with the open divide between players and mgmt. especially with Scottie Pippen and Krause? I can’t think of a modern comparison especially with today’s elite teams.

What'd everyone think?

By the way, what do you think the over/under was for the number of scotchs Mike drank while sitting in the interview chair? 6, 7?

This could never happen in current NBA as players/superstars have far bigger leverage than what it was in 90s
Love the behind the scenes stuff!
So hyped for this!!!
It's lit TZ
Can’t wait
