Anyone who lives on this planet has not been able to evade the Netflix mastermind in recent weeks - "The Last Dance" - the most successful Netflix docu, documenting the 1997-1998 Chicago Bulls season and most notably Michael Jordan basketball legend. The final episode of the series aired last night (Monday). Besides Michael, a few minutes of his teammates Scotty Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Steve Kerr, and coach Phil Johnson receive.

There aren't many athletes in the world who have become legends on the scale of Michael Jordan. Superman, superhero, black Jesus and even God are just some of the nicknames that accompanied Jordan's career, which marveled at his phenomenal ability to make games, to carry the entire team on his back and showcase a talent that once rose in the generation. He quite enjoys these nicknames and himself used them many times and also talks about himself in the third person quite a bit.

• The turbulent network: What happened to Michael Jordan?

Duku accompanies Jordan from the early years as a young player, drawing a profile of a very competitive man, on and off the field, a professional athlete who demands much more of himself than those around him. Jordan became the leader of the team, and the power and fame he accumulated made most of his opponents simply scared of him. He did not respect those who were not afraid of him and knew how to run them in a time and place that suited him.

Jordan didn't just want to win - he wanted to trample and humiliate his opponents. Even when playing cards with friends, he would not stop playing until he won and emptied them. Competitiveness has made him a winner. He always found motivation in the form of rivals from other groups who threw him a comment or tried to tease him, and when they weren't, he was an inventor who said things about him and thus turned on the fire of motivation. Like a bull in the ring, he always had to have a red sheet in front of his eyes before he could enter it. And it worked.

But Jordan, who has become a famous basketball player for cultural icon and successful economic brand, was afraid to express an opinion on issues he could promote such as the attitude toward African Americans, preferring to sell more shoes than annoy anyone. You won't see the people in the community expecting him to back up at this doc.

"The Last Dance" gives basketball fans hours of refined paradise with snippets of finals in the various years, and lots of snapshots and backstage scenes that every sports fan will be happy to see. Michael is kind to everyone but also scary and threatening and so afraid to upset him. He made life difficult for his teammates as part of their training to deal with players from other teams. The problem is not always understood.

An entire chapter is devoted to his "gambling problem" although it is not really a problem. It's not like he lost his house at the casino. He, unlike the other players who used to party with drugs, alcohol and girls, walked away from it all and occasionally gambled.

This docu reminds everyone who forgot how fun watching the Bolz games was. You don't really like sports if you don't appreciate Jordan and the way he did. True, it often came at the expense of other players in the team, but without it the Bolz would not have reached six championships. He was the one who brought the trophy with both hands, even when he was already tired, weak and exhausted he could find his superpowers and do the magic that only he could do.

"The Last Dance" is a legend that really was and you have to see it to believe it.
