Voir The Last Dance - Episode 7

The Nets remind the Bulls in the first round of the 1998 NBA playoffs that the road to an NBA title isn't easy. Five years earlier, after the Bulls won their 3rd title, there was no doubt Michael Jordan was exhausted. That summer his father was murdered, and soon after, Jordan walked away from the NBA to fulfill the dream his father had – being a baseball player. While Jordan was toiling at the Double A level in Birmingham, the Bulls went on to win 55 games in the 1993-94 season before being eliminated in the Eastern Conference Semifinals by the Knicks. As was clear throughout the Bulls dynasty, leadership is not easy – and in 1998, the now 35-year-old Jordan is as tough as he's ever been on teammates.
