Arguably the biggest current sporting event isn't a sporting event at all.
"The Last Dance," ESPN's 10-part documentary on the Chicago Bulls' final championship season in 1998, has captured the sports world by storm during the coronavirus shutdown.
Each hour-long episode dives into the makeup of the Bulls dynasty, including Michael Jordan's alpha-dog competitiveness, Scottie Pippen's eyebrow-raising contract, Dennis Rodman's 48-hour trip to Las Vegas with then-girlfriend Carmen Electra, Phil Jackson's coaching background and the infamous Jerry Krause as the general manager. (Oh, and the time Steve Kerr took a punch to the eye from Jordan during practice after standing up for himself).
If you could have a Last Dance-style documentary about any Arizona team in history, which one are you choosing?
