Originally intended to air during the NBA playoffs in June but moved up to fill ESPN's suddenly empty broadcast schedule in April, this 10-part limited series follows Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls during their 1997-98 season, the last championship year in their legendary 1990s dynasty. If you missed it, the entire series will begin streaming on Netflix later this month.
