Episode 9 began with a look at the rivalry that developed between Jordan and Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller. Jordan talked about how beating the Pacers “became personal to me” as tensions between the two teams reached their zenith during the 1998 Eastern Conference finals.

Miller, for his part, never backed down to Jordan, but he quickly learned how competitive Jordan could be in an instant.

“Never talk trash to black Jesus,” Miller said.

Karl Malone won the NBA’s most valuable player award for the 1996-97 season motivated Jordan during the NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz. Jordan also recounted his first meeting with Jazz forward Bryon Russell and how it ended up being a motivating factor for Jordan in the series, too.

Karl Malone was a BAD man. Those matchups with Rodman>>>

Look at those final scores compared to now…84-82? When was the last time both teams scored under 90pts in a game?

— Kevin Love (@kevinlove) May 18, 2020

Jordan then spoke about Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals — the infamous “flu game.”

The night before the game, ordered a pizza from his Salt Lake City hotel room. Jordan’s personal trainer, Tim Grover, immediately grew suspicious when “five guys” delivered the pizza.

But Jordan ate the entire pizza, and he quickly regretted it. “It wasn’t the flu. It was food poisoning,” he said.

Despite Jordan feeling awful, he put up one of the greatest performances in NBA playoff history in Game 5 to deliver the Bulls to victory.

The documentary also showed   in 10th and final episode of ESPN’s The Last Dance, which is a popular 10-part documentary about former Chicago Bulls superstar Michael Jordan and centers around the team’s sixth and final title glory at the 1997-1998 championship before Jordan and Scottie Pippen-led dynasty dispersed, bleacherreport.com reported.

Dennis Rodman had once skipped a practice session during the 1998 NBA Finals in order to take part in a World Wrestling Championship event. The episode re-evaluated Rodman’s decision to miss his practice between his side Chicago Bulls’ 96-54 Game 3 victory over the Utah Jazz and Game 4 in order to make appearance in WCW.

Rodman made his first wrestling appearance when he aligned himself with Hollywood Hulk Hogan in March 1997. He went on to make periodic appearances for the company, mostly in the offseason.

“I wasn’t trying to do anything. I was just trying to play basketball, party, da, da, da, da… Just be me. Dennis s–t, you know,” Rodman said during the episode. ” American model and singer Carmen Electra, who dated and married Rodman before eventually splitting in 1999, said that the former American basketball player took a detour from playing with the Bulls in order to become a wrestler with Hulk Hogan.

Anyone else wish Dennis Rodman played in the social media age of today? 😂#TheLastDance #rodman #dennisrodman pic.twitter.com/10FrMaw1kF

In the middle of Bulls’ gruelling NBA Finals series against Jazz, the 6-foot 7 inches rebounding machine skipped the practice and managed to sneak past more than 300 media members through the back of the building from Gate No 3, which was designated entrance for the press.

However, Rodman’s off-court activities had never affected his game. He was named Defensive player of the Year twice. The American bagged a total of five NBA championships, including three straight with the Bulls from 1995 to 1998.

My God. #DennisRodman missing an #NBAFinals game to wrestle with the N…W…O! Can you even imagine that happening in this day and age?! The media and social media frenzy would be insane. As a fan of both the Bulls and the NWO, I loved it, but still it was insane. #TheLastDance pic.twitter.com/8fPVDM1IHB

— John Rocha aka The Outlaw Nation (@TheRochaSays) May 18, 2020

Rodman had also contributed a team-high 50 rebounds across six games during 1998 NBA Finals.

“I felt like we could have won seven. I really believe that,” Jordan said. “We may not have. But man, just not to be able to try, that’s just something that I can’t accept for whatever reason. I just can’t accept it.”
