Ep 23: The Last Dance - Episode 9 Recap


Listen Later

The Last Dance documentary on the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan's career is down to its penultimate episode as we close out the 1997 NBA title against the Utah Jazz. 

We find out the real story behind the infamous flu game, which is a big takeaway from this entire project, but we also see that Eastern Conference Finals matchup against Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers. Jordan closes out game 7 for just the second time during this Bulls run. 

We'll also discuss:

  • Gus Lett and that relationship
  • 'Black Jesus'
  • The lady spewing venom behind the Bulls bench
  • The ending to game 4 vs Pacers
  • Bryon Russell as motivation
  • Steve Kerr's Dad
  • Jordan's lack of connection with Kerr on that similarity
  • Behind the scene moments like Jordan shared with Larry Bird
