Sunday’s episode of ‘The Last Dance’ to focus on Kobe Bryant

Make sure you have the tissues ready and anything else you might need because episodes 5 and 6 of ESPN’s “The Last Dance” documentary is expected to focus on the late Kobe Bryant and his relationship with Michael Jordan.

It’s still only been just over three months since the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others in a helicopter crash in California, so the subject is likely to be a sensitive one for many, especially Lakers fans and Bryant fans. Lakers legend and former team President Magic Johnson told the Los Angeles Times that the episode will be a must-watch for those fans who are still mourning the tragedy.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James shared that he teared up during Episode 4 when they showed Jordan winning his first championship and tonight’s episode will likely be even more emotional for him, and everyone else watching. Episodes 5 and 6 of “The Last Dance” will air on ESPN at 9 p.m. EDT/6 p.m. PDT.
