This special quarantine edition episode is unique because we have a panel of four women speaking passionately about 1990s NBA basketball. We are specifically discussing one of our highlights of quarantine, the 10-hour documentary “The Last Dance.” It chronicles Michael Jordan and the 1998 Championship Bulls team as they secured their 2nd three-peat. This episode is a little lengthier because this documentary was epic!
