Voir The Last Dance - Episode 2

Michael Jordan was the defining presence of the Chicago Bulls dynasty in the '90s. No one ever took a more competitive approach to every game of an NBA season than Michael Jordan, and there's no doubting Scottie Pippen's indispensability at his side. But as Pippen emerged as a future Hall of Famer, he was also underpaid, thanks to a long-term contract he signed with the Bulls in 1991 – a deal team owner Jerry Reinsdorf was unwilling to renegotiate. And so, in 1997, a disgruntled Pippen elects to wait until just before the season starts to get foot surgery, leaving Jordan without his sidekick, and making the first portion of the year all that more difficult.
