We've all got a lot of time on our hands. If ever there was a time for a deep dive into a sports documentary, it's now. And so if the world's leading sports broadcaster, the same people who completely redefined the sports documentary, were to drop a twenty-hour, ten-part documentary series on the best basketball player of all time, you'd be prettyhappy right?
Well ESPN has made your day today. Its documentary The Last Dance has been in production for awhile. Today the Worldwide Leader confirmed that the documentary was being fast-tracked for an April 19 release.
