The latest episodes of The Last Dance focused on a variety of topics from Michael Jordan’s relationship with his heir apparent Kobe Bryant, two sides of marketing fame, his gambling problems (hobby) and his “Republicans buy sneakers, too” quote. So which moments stood out? What was the biggest surprise? The Crossover staff reacts and offers takeaways.
Initial thoughts
Chris Mannix: Four episodes in and we finally get to one of the great NBA mysteries: Jordan’s gambling. Sunday night was little more than a regurgitation of what we already know—Michael liked to gamble, denied he had a gambling problem, an NBA investigation officially cleared him of any misconduct, etc.
