Virtually the entire basketball world was tuned in on Sunday night as ESPN and Netflix aired Episodes 7 and 8 of The Last Dance. A lot of NBA players aired their real-time reactions to the episodes, but for Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade, he needed some time to digest the emotional rollercoaster he experienced.
Roughly a day after the episodes aired, the NBA legend and future Hall of Famer took it to Twitter to confess that he teared up during what was arguably the most emotional moment of Sunday's episodes.
According to Wade, he somehow felt the pain Jordan had in his heart when MJ won his first title after he lost his father in a tragic murder in 1993.
I had literal tears in my eyes watching #TheLastDance last night. When MJ and the Bulls won that championship in 96. Man oh man the pain of his father not being right by his side was real pain.

The show depicted how close Jordan was with his father. They were best friends, and James Sr. served as Michael's ultimate confidant. The makers of the show did an excellent job in taking us for a ride, so to speak. It was a painful moment, and while it featured an MJ that people haven't seen before, everyone felt what he was going through at that moment.

The Last Dance has been tremendous in showing us the greatness of Michael Jordan the player, but Sunday's episodes provided us with a glimpse of MJ the person and how he strong he was despite the hardships he went through.
