The last two episodes of The Last Dance will air on Sunday, but it will not be the end of the discussion. Since after episodes nine and 10, Los Angeles Lakers icon Magic Johnson and analyst Stephen A. Smith will share their thoughts on the hit sports documentary about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.
Per Rick Porter of The Hollywood Reporter, the special entitled After Dance With Stephen A. Smith: A SportsCenter Special will air on Tuesday and will feature Johnson and other NBA icons:
The broadcast network will air an hourlong special called After the Dance With Stephen A. Smith: A SportsCenter Special on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT, two days after the conclusion of ESPN's breakout docuseries about Michael Jordan's last year with the Chicago Bulls.
Smith and basketball legend Magic Johnson will discuss their biggest takeaways from The Last Dance and be joined by other NBA greats, as well.
The Last Dance has been airing every Sunday since April 19, dropping two one-hour episodes each night. It's been averaging over five million same-day viewers.
The sports documentary was originally slated to air in June, but due to the coronavirus pandemic which forced the NBA to suspend the 2019-20 season, the documentary's debut was moved to April.
Johnson himself has appeared in the documentary, particularly in the episode about the Dream Team and their legendary practice sessions. During that time, Jordan was the fastest rising star in the league.
Though Johnson still had a lot left in him, he wasn't willing to give up the throne to Jordan. As such, this created an ultra-competitive atmosphere in practice.
