Manna in the sports desert

They say any port in a storm, but sometimes the port ends up being really awesome.

In the sportsless world known as April 2020 there is The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary chronicling the Michael Jordan era Chicago Bulls. The sports franchise of my youth.

Last night I watched the first two episodes. (They’re being released two at a time.) In a word… they’re great, and one wonders why it took 22 years to get this thing together. Honestly, though, I think the subject matter—basketball is but a mere subplot—is one I can appreciate more at age 37 than at 15.

Ratings, naturally, are through the roof. What the heck else ya gonna watch to get your sports fix? Games you already know the result of? (Wait, that’s exactly what this is!)

Give me parts 3-10 pronto!
