‘The Last Dance’ aired just under three years ago. The infamous docu-series displayed Michael Jordan and his iconic stint with the Chicago Bulls, with a special focus on his final years with the franchise. It showed his relationships with his teammates and approach to the game as well. Directed by Jason Hehir, the docu-series gave media fodder following a strained relationship between Jordan and Scottie Pippen. If rumors are to be believed, then it seems like Jordan is a horse with blinkers on and is already working towards his next big project.

Michael Jordan is reportedly making another documentary. This time, however, according to Sam Amico, Jordan would be focusing on his comeback season with the Washington Wizards.
