‘The Last Dance’ was released in 2020 and broke several records. It was based on the Chicago Bulls’ last championship-winning season in 1998. It was the end of a golden era in Chicago, like many players, including Michael Jordan, left the franchise. However, the mini-series was a treat for NBA fans and they’re in for another treat as Magic Johnson’s docu-series is set to be released next month.
‘The Last Dance’ revolved around Michael Jordan and his last season with the Bulls. It won several accolades and awards and received critical acclaim. It also became the most-watched documentary on ESPN. The series was a massive hit as it showed the never-aired footage from the 1997-98 season.

Michael — who I love, that’s my dear friend — but [‘The Last Dance’] was driven by his great accomplishments on the basketball court. [In ‘They Call Me Magic,’] you’re seeing my family, friends, everybody involved. You’re going to see every episode be a different journey in my life. That’s what makes me proud.”
