We’re About to See Michael Jordan Like We’ve Never Seen Him Before

ESPN’s Chicago Bulls 10-part documentary “The Last Dance” debuts Sunday. Michael Jordan makes the series MUST-watch…

MICHAEL JORDAN IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ATHLETES IN HUMAN HISTORY. There is simply no disputing that fact. Jordan retired almost two decades ago, but he remains one of the most recognizable athletes in the entire world. And as much as we’ve had every GOAT debate argued to death and eaten up every little Jordan tidbit story, there’s just so much we still don’t know about MJ.

That’s by design, of course. Jordan was his own brand, and he made himself off limits to just about everyone else. Growing up, when you played as the Bulls on video games, you never got to actually use Michael Jordan. You used BULLS23 or #23 or whatever they called the likeness of the bald dude that was the best player on the game, the only one without an actual name.

Jordan was always extremely particular about who he interviewed for, and since his final retirement, we barely hear from him at all as he keeps his distance from the media. That’s why we remember Jordan’s Hall of Fame speech so distinctly. That’s why MJ sharing at Kobe’s memorial was so significant. We saw real crying Jordan letting down his guard, letting us see the real Jordan that’s forever hiding inside.

Jordan doesn’t sit courtside and chat with current NBA stars. He doesn’t show up at Rucker…
