SALT LAKE CITY — Sunday night could be a rough one for Utah Jazz fans. Not “Flu Game” rough. But close.
And get this: Ever a visionary, Deseret News columnist Lee Benson predicted a scenario in which the sports world would watch a documentary like “The Last Dance” — one that highlighted Michael Jordan’s career — in a column about Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals almost 23 years ago.
“One of these decades when they roll the definitive Michael Jordan highlight film, the evening of Wednesday, June 11th, 1997, in Salt Lake City will command a nice segment,” Benson wrote in the next day’s Deseret News.
