Sports staff reacts to ‘The Last Dance’ episodes 5, 6
ESPN’s “The Last Dance” documentary series is now over halfway finished after episodes 5 and 6 aired Sunday. Episode 5 carried a little more weight, as we got a quick glimpse into the older-younger brother relationship between Michael Jordan and the late Kobe Bryant. Episode 5 also brought details of the 1992 Olympic “Dream Team,” Jordan’s political dilemmas and the biggest “L” of all time, which goes to Adidas for not signing Jordan to a shoe deal.
Episode 6 showed viewers a different side of Jordan, with his alleged gambling addiction that media and people around the NBA believed destroyed parts of his reputation.

Sports staff reacts to ‘The Last Dance’ final episodes
Well, here we are. We’ve reached the end of the best thing to happen in sports for months.

Jordan returns as Adonis 'Donnie' Creed, son of Rocky Balboa's fiercest opponent, Apollo Creed. But the actor is not just throwing punches at Majors' antagonist Damian 'Dame' Anderson in the film, 'Creed III' also marks Jordan's directorial debut, reports 'Variety'.
Just as 'Rocky' star Sylvester Stallone went on to helm four of the franchise's films, Jordan stakes his own claim behind the camera with an ambitious take on the material.
The footage begins with Donnie Creed on top of the world -- a champion boxer on the cover of 'Forbes' magazine, with his wife Bianca (Tessa Thompson), a success in her own right as singer, and their daughter Amara (newcomer Mila Davis-Kent) beside them.
