‘The Last Dance’ Episodes 7-8 trailer
One of the topics teased in this week’s trailer for episodes 7 and 8 of ‘The Last Dance’ was Jordan’s forray into baseball following the 1993 NBA season, along with his return to basketball in 1995. Upon returning, he wore the No. 45 for his first 22 games before eventually reclaiming No. 23 in his 23rd game back.
Another topic that was teased by ESPN on Friday was Jordan’s role in the 1996 classic, ‘Space Jam,’ and the effect it had on his brand and legacy.
Speaking of Space Jam, LeBron James teased his version of the upcoming sequel back in April.
Other topics to be covered in tonight’s episodes include the death of Jordan’s father, the Bulls’ 72-win season and the 1996 NBA Finals, and the emotional toll that Jordan’s leadership style took on his teammates, as well as himself (the end of episode seven is supposed to get very real).
