ESPN’s docu-series The Last Dance was both captivating and entertaining, for a variety of reasons. For one, it came during an NBA hiatus, so it filled a void of sorts, but it also allowed the younger generation of NBA fans an opportunity to see Michael Jordan in action, which was surely his goal when he produced it. The film glossed over the fact that Jordan was afraid of the Houston Rockets, which was a valid concern because of the Bulls’ inability to match up with Hakeem Olajuwon.
As we all know, the Rockets won two consecutive championships from 1993-1995, although many in the basketball world wrongly question the legitimacy of the titles.
