All you need to know before seeing ''The last dance'' An accelerated course about Michael Jordan
The long-awaited day of The Last Dance has finally arrived. For the uninitiated (who?) Is the Chicago Bulls docuserie of the 1997-98 season, the one that ended with an MJ shot 6 seconds from the end, after seating Bryon Russell with a crossover.
To get better prepared we suggest a series of books, films, insights, documentaries, anecdotes that you should know in order to better understand the Bulls universe of that vintage.
GAMES TO WATCH
- The tongue: The inspiration of the tongue comes from the father. Michael, in fact, noticed that his father James stuck his tongue out while he worked and he decided to do the same in the most excited and difficult moments of the games.
- The degree in geography: Although he did not graduate before making himself eligible for the draft, Michael decided to return to college and conclude his studies in geography in the summer of 1986.
- He is afraid of water: when he was 11 Michael was traumatized by the drowning death of a friend of his during a summer basketball camp. A trauma that has never managed to overcome.
- The steak: Four hours before each race, in fact, Michael ate a steak of almost 6 ounces, accompanied by salad and potatoes, while drinking a ginger ale.
- Best Friend: When MJ was drafted in 1984, the Chicago Bulls were unable to send anyone to the airport and so the rookie found himself in front of a certain George Koehler who, without knowing him, asked him if he needed a ride. Jordan accepted and later the two entered into an agreement that Koehler would accompany the future star around Chicago throughout the season.
