There were a number of other stars as well in the documentary, which contributed massively to its success. In case the 2024 USA basketball team turns out to be according to the rumors, a documentary about that film will definitely rival ‘The Last Dance’.
Curry and James are hugely popular figures. Additionally, the team might also have some other fan favorites, including Kyrie Irving. However, the Bulls’ documentary is in a league of its own. It broke streaming records in 2020 when it averaged 6.1 million viewers on the platform despite the ongoing pandemic.
