The second installment of ESPN's Michael Jordan documentary series tells the story of the birth of the Chicago Bulls' dynasty and its two star rebels.
Episodes 3 and 4 of “The Last Dance” raise the bar even from the first two shows. Part of that can be attributed to the need of the filmmakers to lay out the broader story line at the start. The larger reason is the most recent episodes drill down on Dennis Rodman and Phil Jackson, the two most fascinating Bulls of that 1997-98 team.1. Jordan could tame even the wildest soul on the team.
Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman wed in Las Vegas in November 1998. Electra filed for divorce the following April. 7. It’s revealing to hear Jackson talk about how his religious upbringing by both his parents shaped him, especially his mother. “She was a extreme belief about the second coming of Christ so that was something that was foremost in your mind growing up,” he said. “Would you be ready if Christ came to be taken as part of that group that would be raptured? My goal was also in conflict. I would rather be playing sports than on my knees praying.
11. The Jordan that entered the 1990-91 season was visibly stronger. To prepare his body for any punishment by Detroit, Jordan hit the weights. “I was getting brutally beaten up and I wanted to administer pain,” he said. 14. By Game 4 of the ’91 Eastern Conference finals, again against Detroit, it was clear the Bulls were headed to the finals. But one moment left no doubt in Jordan’s mind that a new era had dawned. Rodman pushed a driving Pippen hard to the ground. “When Pippen didn’t respond to that abuse,” Jordan said, “it’s nothing they could do to beat us then.”
