The Last Dance — the Michael Jordan and 1997-98 Chicago Bulls documentary — is already living up to the hype after its first two episodes premiered on Sunday.
And there are eight more installments to go.
Thanks to Good Morning America, we got a peek at the third episode, in which the story of a Dennis Rodman trip to Las Vegas is fully revealed.
Apparently, when Scottie Pippen returned from his surgery in 1998, Rodman asked for a Vegas vacation to blow off some steam. Head coach Phil Jackson asked if Rodman could make it just 48 hours, and Jordan was concerned about the whole idea:
If you’re wondering about the end of that story? Here’s what I’ll do for you: if you want to know about it and don’t mind having Sunday’s episode No. 3 spoiled for you, I’ll make it a SPOILER ALERT for those of you who do. The rest of the tale is below this photo of Rodman.
Ready? Here’s more on it from Yahoo Sports:
“He did not come back on time,” Jordan said. “We had to go get his ass out of bed, and I’m not going to say what’s in his bed, where he was, blah, blah, blah.”
“There’s a knock on the door and it’s Michael Jordan,” Rodman’s ex-wife, Carmen Electra, said. “I hid. I didn’t want him to see me like that so I’m hiding behind the couch with covers on me.”
“Dennis came back and joined the team and that’s the way it went that year,” Phil Jackson said.
Yowza. What a story.
