With no live sports on the horizon due to the coronavirus outbreak many fans have been urging ESPN to release their 10 part Chicago Bulls documentary the “Last Dance” which is set to air in June.

ESPN should just go ahead and use that new 10-part documentary on MJ and the Bulls to fill air time. That would be cool.

This would be tremendous if ESPN pulls it off and the ratings would be off the charts.
