Behind the Numbers of Michael Jordan's 1997–98 Bulls

With about 20 seconds left in the game, Michael Jordan swiped the ball from Karl Malone’s hands, dribbled up the court and met Bryon Russell at the Jazz’ three-point line. After a quick drive right and an ankle shattering crossover to his left, Jordan found himself rising up at the top of the key for a dynasty-clenching jump shot.

On June 14, 1998 the Bulls won their sixth NBA championship in eight seasons. Now almost 22 years later, NBA fans unexpectedly find themselves without any basketball to watch, and instead revisiting–or discovering–that same Jordan Bulls team on ESPN’s documentary series The Last Dance.
