For basketball junkies who grew up in the 90’s, ESPN’s “The Last Dance” was must-see television (especially with no live sports during the pandemic). The 10-part series coming soon to Netflix chronicled Michael Jordan’s legendary career using his final season in Chicago as a backdrop.
Through amazing amounts of behind-the-scenes videos and extensive interviews with those around Jordan we see an up close look at his personality and competitive nature. In Episodes 41 and 42 (we couldn’t stop talking about it, so broke it up), Kevin and I break down the key leadership lessons from Jordan, Phil Jackson, and the ‘98 Bulls. We discuss the differences between Jordan’s day and the modern NBA, debate his style of leadership, and discuss some overlooked stars of the show.
Jordan is nothing if not complex, and there’s plenty to learn from his story. Hope you enjoy!
