Somehow, the superficially serene game of golf inspires this kind of fire in men who excel in the adrenaline-spiked NBA. Pro basketball players already live life at the height of competition and yet can’t resist this placid iteration of it. Jordan himself might be the most salient example of such a person whose need for fire and tranquility keeps bringing him to the greens. “The Last Dance” featured one scene of Jordan on a golf course, after a practice. He was loose, at a remove from the hoopla of his life at the time. If the documentary series made an epilogue rooted in Jordan’s current lifestyle, the camera crew would have rarely left the course.
