LeBron is hyped like the rest of us on ‘The Last Dance’ MJ doc coming out soon

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is as hyped as the rest of us on the Michal Jordan documentary from ESPN getting moved up.

ESPN blessed us with some phenomenal news late on Monday night after weeks of clamoring from desperate sports fans looking for some new content to sink their teeth into that isn’t in the form of an Instagram Live. Everyone, from folks on NBA Twitter to LeBron James himself, has been hoping for ESPN to move up the release date of “The Last Dance,” from June, with ESPN listening to the fans and giving us our wish.

ESPN themselves gave LeBron some love by showing a clip from his appearance on Road Trippin’ last week, where he suggested that this hiatus when everyone is at home would be the perfect time for the Worldwide Leader to release the 10-part documentary that features years of behind the scenes footage of Michael Jordan’s final years with the Chicago Bulls. LeBron himself can’t wait.

The first two episodes will be shown April 19 on ESPN, with two new episodes becoming available every Sunday for the next four weeks, with the final episodes premiering on May 17. Episodes will be available after they air on the ESPN app to watch on-demand. For fans looking to watch the documentary outside of the United States, the first two episodes will be available April 20 at 12:01 a.m. pacific time, on Netflix, with a similar weekly release schedule, according to the NBA.

Back around Christmas, ESPN released an extended trailer to show fans what the documentary will be like.
