For nearly two decades, the Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan dominated the NBA and leaves a lasting legacy that definitely impacts the modern game.

Something that got a lot of basketball fans through the novel coronavirus pandemic-induced NBA season hiatus was the early premier of the 10-part documentary series “The Last Dance”. This hit ABC/ESPN/Netflix docuseries highlighted all-time great shooting guard Michael Jordan and the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls title-winning team.
