LeBron James was ‘near tearing up’ watching Jordan win first title on “The Last Dance”

After everybody was waiting for LeBron James to comment on the Jordan documentary, LeBron James shared Episode 4 made him emotional.

Whether it’s the comments of Kendrick Perkins alluding to people disrespecting LeBron James or the constant conversation about the 1990s Chicago Bulls, everyone has noticed LeBron James more or less silent approach to ESPN and Netflix’s “The Last Dance” documentary that aired episodes 3 and 4 of their 10-part series last night. Aside from a shoutout before the documentary aired, James has mostly been silent on what everybody is talking about, until Monday.

Episodes 3 and 4 of “The Last Dance” focused on Dennis Rodman’s role in the dynasty as well as giving a closer look at how Micahel Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and the Bulls overcame Rodman’s Detroit Pistons in 1991. That season ended with Jordan and the Bulls beating Magic Johnson’s Lakers in five games, after which a rush of emotions came out from Jordan where he cried holding the trophy he longed so hard for. It was that moment that connected with LeBron the most.

James also had to wait quite a bit to reach his ultimate goal, eventually joining the Miami Heat,  where he was finally able to beat the Boston Celtics and the San Antonio Spurs during his four-year tenure, who had stood in his way many times before.
