The first two episodes of ESPN’s “The Last Dance” documentary about NBA legend Michael Jordan premiered on Sunday night, and it got a response out of just about everyone who watched it, including Tennessee Titans players.
It’s safe to say that it didn’t disappoint, either.
The documentary features footage shot during Jordan’s last year with the Chicago Bulls (1997-98), which was also the last year of the team’s dynasty.
It gives a great behind-the-scenes look at the turmoil that went on during that season, as well as the media coverage that surrounded it at the time.
Tennessee Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro, cornerback Adoree’ Jackson and fullback Khari Blasingame were all tuned in and gave their reactions.
Vaccaro couldn’t believe that Jordan was making north of $30 million per year, which makes the fact that he called Scottie Pippen selfish ironic.
MJ made 33.1m a year 23 years ago? BAG

Blasingame echoed those sentiments.

Some former Titans also weighed-in on the ESPN documentary.
