The premiere of episodes 3 and 4 of ESPN’s “The Last Dance,” came with a new set of stories, truths, and situations the internet could talk about for the next week.
With a focus on their battle with the Pistons and on the defensive, rebounding juggernaut Dennis Rodman, you can probably guess as to the reaction of people online. A lot of reminiscing, appreciating, and meme-creating took place as we all got yet another inside look into the legend that was MJ, Pippen, Rodman, and the famous Bulls teams of the 90s.
Here are some of the best reactions from the night from fans, the media, and tv-gawkers everywhere:
So as a kid, during the 97-98 season, the Bulls were in town for a 12 PM game. I get to the arena at 9 Am to do radio then hit the Bulls lockerroom. I get there & the only player sitting in the room is Rodman in pajama pants and ankle socks watching game tape.

Jordan was getting damn near clotheslined and wasn’t complaining to the refs. Just wiping the blood off his lip and checking the ball up. Bro was built different.

Perhaps the best part of the segment was when they detailed the time Rodman tried to take a vacation in the middle of the season.

Those were some of the best that we say, but there are sure to be plenty more in the coming hours and days. Amid the quarantine regulations, it’s all anyone can really do right now anyway.
See you all again next week — when we’ll all be back to behold another piece of this captivating tale.
