If you’ve watched the first four episodes of “The Last Dance” on ESPN then you know how awesome this docuseries on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls has been.
Well, tonight it’s going to be even more special as the fifth episode of the series will be be dedicated to Kobe Bryant, per a report by Arash Markazi of the Los Angeles Times.
Kobe and MJ had a special relationship over the years, which we were able to learn more about during Jordan’s emotional speech at Kobe’s memorial service back in February, and this episode should be pretty awesome.
Hopefully this clip of Jordan talking trash about Kobe before the 1998 All-Star Game is in it, because it’s pretty awesome. The kicker comes at the end when Jordan makes fun of Kobe missing (all airballs) four 3-pointers in the against the Jazz in the 1997 playoffs, with Jordan saying he’d never pass him the ball after that.
There are some bad words in this video so if that’s not your thing then close your computer and run for the hills:

Jordan was so damn competitive, which made him awesome. It’s also what made Kobe awesome, too.
