In Netflix's instructive documentary series "The Last Dance," the greatest basketball player in history turns out to be human, not to say - no small villain

Be careful when writing about Netflix's "Last Dance" sports docu-series, which breaks viewing records around the world.

For those who have not been in isolation lately, it is said to be rare archive material from the Chicago Bulls' last championship season, just before the all-time great basketball team disbanded, leaving a legacy of one, Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time.

Why be careful? Because in contrast to the current fashion, here are two episodes every week, and it is not possible to formulate an opinion on the entire product, although it is clear that we predict in history. Each episode is a roller coaster for sports enthusiasts of course, but also brings with it a one-of-a-kind human story, one that's not clear to us how they've been able to hide it from us for the last twenty years. Michael Jordan turns out to be a bigger villain than we thought, and human, too human.

The sport here is a clear substitute for war, and it mainly provides a glimpse into how the stars we admire have changed over the years. Giants like Dennis Rodman used to let television cameras roam freely in their presence, while today we mostly get engineered products that can be found on anyone's social networks, even after being censored and edited.

While this is a cliché, but even if you are not a sports fan, this is exactly the series for you because the sport here is just a pretext for telling a bigger story than life itself.
