NBA: ‘The Last Dance’ Impact Likened To HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’

The global pandemic has turned everyone’s eyes to the “The Last Dance” as the documentary series put into detail Michael Jordan’s career with the Chicago Bulls. The impact it had for audiences is likened to the hit HBO series “Game Of Thrones.”

As sports remain suspended, fans from around the world were able to collectively come together in revisiting the historic run of the 90s Chicago Bulls. The series highlighted everything that the world already knew about Jordan’s storied career but added new twists per week. Whether it was internal organization drama or heated rivalries, “The Last Dance” was able to bring people at the edge of their seats.

This effect drew similarities to how “Game of Thrones” was able to attract people’s attention weekly. Each episode was considered a global phenomenon as it constantly left the Internet buzzing with what just transpired. The show was filled with deception, betrayal and heated action – traits that are all interestingly apparent in 90s basketball.

While HBO’s hit was on pace to become one of the greatest television shows of all time, the ending was seen as a miss for most people. The reception for the final season was met with mixed reactions and many considered as a big blunder on the show. The recent ending of “The Last Dance” had social media comparing the ending of these two television hits.

Sports comedian and Internet personality Cameron Scooter MaGruder shared that the ending of “The Last Dance” is what “Game Of Thrones” should have been.

More Twitter users chipped into the discussion comparing elements of both shows to one another.

To add to all of these, the parallelism of how perfectly Jordan’s career ended was seen on how “The Last Dance” wrapped up its series. People saw how the documentary ended perfectly much like how Jordan’s game-winning shot in Utah sealed an iconic sports story.

The rich history in 90s basketball has resurfaced and reminded everyone of how the game was played decades ago. While sports remain on hold, fans can look back and learn from the iconic impact of Jordan.
