Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the release of ESPN’s “The Last Dance” is all anyone has been thinking about lately. Even 15+ years after his retirement, Jordan remains a superstar in the sport of basketball and, for the first time, today’s generation will get to see an up-close-and-personal view of the era that rocked the NBA.
Today was just episode one, and there will be many more of these going forward. Needless to say, there were plenty of reactions from around the community about folks spilling their thoughts on what they had just seen.
Here are the internet’s best reactions.
I wish Kobe was around to see this Michael Jordan documentary…he would've loved this

I’m really getting flashbacks. The 1997-98 season was my first season reporting.

My takeaway from all of this is that this is a f**k you to Jerry Krause

Scottie Pippen played through the Bulls’ glory years on a 7-year, $18M deal.
Unbelievable.

Biggest takeaway from Episode 1: Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf had the audacity to recently say that all the Bulls players except Michael were nearing the end of their careers and that it was time after 1998 to rebuild. WHAT?!?! I WAS THERE. THAT TEAM WOULD'VE WON TWO MORE.

Obviously, this documentary is working in the favor of Scottie Pippen more than anyone. People are starting to understand just how underrated he is.
Fans had much to say and talks will likely only increase in the days to come. Hopefully, this will serve as a good reaction to all that’s going on around the world right now.
