The Last Dance was a docuseries that was released that showcased Michal Jordan’s life and his will for success while being with the Chicago Bulls. The series was praised by fans critics alike, but it was a surprise to see that Michael Jordans former teammate Scottie Pippen hated it and came out with words to let out his frustrations. Scottie Pippen said, “They glorified Michael Jordan while not giving nearly enough praise to me and my proud teammates. Michael deserved a large portion of the blame. The producers had granted him editorial control of the final product.”

While some agree with Pippen where they believe it was Michael who gained more fame and was put up to another pedestal at the cost of his teammates who were if not equally but deservedly helped the Bulls to win 6 Championships. It was after the series that the pair Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen went on an all-out war with each other and subsequently ended their relationship with each other.

 With this said it will be quite fascinating to see what Magic Johnson’s docuseries will bring, it will all be exciting if the same things follow what followed after the Last Dance was released.
