Chicago Bulls: Three best episodes of “The Last Dance”
1. Episode Seven
The best episode for a lot of people was episode seven. It was one that crossed many bridges but one major storyline dominated this one. The fact that Michael Jordan retired right after his father was murdered was the biggest sports story of the year when it happened. Well, he went on to try his hand at baseball the following season because it was his father’s dream for his son to play baseball.
They used video and images from a matchup between the Chicago White Sox and Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Championship series where the word was starting to spread that Michael Jordan was retiring. Well, it was right and the Bulls announced it the next day. He later announced that he was going to play baseball.
He accepted an invitation from the Chicago White Sox to play with them in Spring Training. He was sent down to play AA ball with the Birmingham Barons where he had a really good year for someone who hadn’t played baseball in a long time. Obviously, he didn’t stay in baseball and went back to the NBA but this episode was so good in its details of how it all went down. It was also cool to see the White Sox be featured on the screen to the whole world watching.
Every episode connected to fans in different ways. Each episode provided something different from these great years. It was so awesome, as a younger fan, to see how much of an impact Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls had an impact on our city. This movie is one that is rewatchable and will be for many generations to come.
