With basketball at a standstill due to the coronavirus pandemic, “The Last Dance” documentary has provided sports fans with a small window of never-before-seen footage from the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s.

The ratings have soared to all-time highs for any documentary on ESPN as fans of all ages have tuned in each Sunday night. Of course, at the center of the 10-part miniseries is Michael Jordan. The documentary has given fans a glimpse of just how dominant Jordan was during his era.

Memphis Grizzlies rookie Brandon Clarke is among those that have watched the documentary to this point. Clarke has thoroughly enjoyed the series and discussed what impressed him most about Jordan on Wednesday in a Q&A on Twitter.

With Michael Jordan, what probably impresses me the most is just how quick he was and just how fast he can get off of the ground. The NBA, players and fans hadn’t ever seen a player that can get off of the ground that quickly and still finish almost every time over the biggest guys and the biggest stars. To see that and to see that as a kid, it was always something to look up to. It has been really fun to watch all of the footage during ‘The Last Dance.’

Jordan has had a tremendous impact on the game today and the documentary has given the younger generation of players an opportunity to see him like never before.
