The Chicago Bulls have been very bad lately so the casual fans might be gone for the most part. “The Last Dance” documentary could pull people back in.

The Chicago Bulls have been a less than admirable franchise over the past few years. Under the “GarPax” regime, things had really started to get worse. Well, the hiring of Arturas Karnisovas last week really seemed to make some people excited. He came from the Denver Nuggets where he turned them into a contender in the Western Conference. Now, they are hoping to get things going back in the right direction again.

Well, winning is the way to sell your brand to fans. The Chicago Bulls did that in the 90s as they won the NBA title six times in a span of eight years. It was one of the greatest dynasties in the history of sports. It produced the greatest player in the history of basketball in Michael Jordan as well. It was a dominant run but a dominant team.

Well, how do the Bulls go back to selling out the United Center? Winning is the answer but they might get a boost from ESPN’s documentary called “The Last Dance”. It is a ten-part documentary that will feature the Bulls’ final season of their magical dynasty. The 1997-98 Bulls were the last team to bring the NBA title to Chicago and it is also the season where everything fell apart. The ten-part series will premier two episodes for five weeks.

There are expectations that not everything featured in this documentary is going to be positive. Michael’s allegiance to Phil Jackson is something that may have led to the dynasty falling apart but there are definitely more things that are going to be shown here. There are people that believe that this might not paint a pretty picture of Jordan but it will give fans an all-access to what actually went on with that team.

There are definitely going to be some things that are shown in this documentary that are wild. It is the type of drama that can reel fans back into caring about this team. Chicago is a great sports town that loves all of its teams. If the modern-day bulls ever had a bit of championship-level success the city would go crazy. This series might not have all great moments but it definitely will show of a time where the Bulls were capable of putting together an entertaining product.
