Summary

You don't need to care about basketball to be captivated by this—it's a story about ambition, ego, rivalry, and the pursuit of excellence.

This groundbreaking series follows Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dynasty through their final championship with never-before-seen footage and brutally honest interviews. The series reveals Scottie Pippen's resentment, Dennis Rodman's unpredictability, and Phil Jackson's zen coaching philosophy—exposing the loyalty and dysfunction that powered one of sports' greatest teams. It's a masterclass in leadership and what happens when individual brilliance meets collective purpose.

The documentary that revolutionized the sports docuseries genre and a time capsule of 90s culture when Jordan transcended sports to become a global icon.
