After an overwhelming amount of hype, ESPN premiered the first two episodes of “The Last Dance.” The 10-part documentary follows the Michael Jordan era Chicago Bulls teams. The first two episodes chronicle Jordan’s rise from a prospect at North Carolina to becoming the NBA Rookie of The Year in 1985.
The Bulls divide with general manager Jerry Krause, and Scottie Pippin’s Chicago contract were both featured in the opening episodes. Former Bulls guard turned Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr also made an appearance in the debut episodes of the documentary.
Like many in the basketball world, a pair of Warriors players checked in on social media to show they were tuned in for “The Last Dance.”
Before the documentary kicked off, Draymond Green shared a clip on his Instagram story of him watching the film.

Eric Paschall fired off a bevy of Tweets during the airing of the “30 for 30” documentary. Golden State’s second-round draft pick started by thanking ESPN for releasing the feature. Paschall commented on multiple topics from the Last Dance, including the spacing of the 1990s era of NBA basketball and Jordan’s scoring numbers as a rookie.

After the first two chapters, Paschall wasn’t done, calling for ESPN to release the entire documentary.
The Villanova product will have to hold until next Sunday when episodes two and three are slated to air on ESPN.
