The first two hours can be watched now on Netflix!
The sporting world is going potty for The Last Dance, the ESPN ten-parter that "chronicles the untold story of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dynasty with rare, never-before-seen footage and sound from the 1997-98 championship season – plus over 100 interviews with famous figures and basketball’s biggest names, including Jordan himself, Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen, Steve Kerr, Dennis Rodman, Pat Riley, Charles Barkley, Dikembe Mutombo, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Kobe Bryant, Gary Payton, Adam Silver, Bob Costas, Barack Obama, Justin Timberlake, and more."
There's high praise from the aforementioned Magic Johnson who says: "Michael Jordan’s Last Dance was fantastic and I loved all two hours of it!! Young fans that never got to see Michael play now understand why he’s the Goat of basketball!
"For me? Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, and Beyoncé are the three greatest entertainers of my lifetime; and you could probably throw Muhammad Ali in there."
Scroll down for some more reaction to the series, the first two episodes of which can be seen now on Netflix.

I hope all those who believe LeBron is better than Michael Jordan are watching this documentary ... and these highlights. Lord have mercy. Never been anything like the one and only 23.

Night one of The Last Dance was awesome. Great stories. Great music. Full of laughs. Full of life lessons. I already can’t wait until next Sunday.
