‘The Last Dance’ aired just under three years ago. The infamous docu-series displayed Michael Jordan and his iconic stint with the Chicago Bulls, with a special focus on his final years with the franchise. It showed his relationships with his teammates and approach to the game as well. Directed by Jason Hehir, the docu-series gave media fodder following a strained relationship between Jordan and Scottie Pippen. If rumors are to be believed, then it seems like Jordan is a horse with blinkers on and is already working towards his next big project.
Michael Jordan is reportedly making another documentary. This time, however, according to Sam Amico, Jordan would be focusing on his comeback season with the Washington Wizards.

As per Yardbarker, “This time of Jordan’s career doesn’t get talked about enough, but that’s about to change.” Michael Jordan’s famous comeback from retirement and playing for the Washington Wizards may be highlighted in this documentary.
Though he didn’t win any championships with the franchise, and Father Time was his main enemy, Jordan likely has intriguing stories to tell during his time there. Technically speaking, Jordan’s actual ‘last dance’ was with the Wizards. So a documentary detailing his time there may be befitting for fans to dive even deeper into the life and NBA career of one of the greatest to ever do it.
A look at his Washington Wizards phase
According to Bleacher Report, Michael Jordan first retired in 1993 following his father’s death. He was back on the court though just 18 months later, before retiring a second time in 1998. However, his next comeback arguably wasn’t as memorable.
“The guard earned two All-Star selections while averaging a combined 21.2 points per game, but it was a stark contrast from his 31.5 points per game during his 13 years in Chicago“, the media noted.
