Of course, basketball is a global phenomenon and fans around the globe wish to consume this special content as well. Luckily for international fans, they can watch the show on Netflix, which will release the episodes five hours after the broadcast schedules.
ESPN originally scheduled to release the documentary around the time of the NBA Finals in June. However, due to the lack of basketball content brought about by the sudden hiatus of the 2019-20 season, NBA fans clamored for the early release of this once in a lifetime documentary. ESPN listened to the fans' plea, and bumped up the release to April.
We have all been devoid of basketball content for over a month now and this special show will surely give us something to look forward to for at least the next five weeks. Basically, get excited for some Michael Jordan related glory in The Last Dance documentary.
