The Best Reactions to 'The Last Dance' Finale
ESPN's Michael Jordan docuseries, The Last Dance, is over, and Twitter has a lot of feelings about it.
ESPN's hit docuseries The Last Dance has come to an end far too soon—just like Michael Jordan's career with the Bulls as the legend reminded us in the last few minutes of the finale. In the 10-episode series, we all learned a lot about the iconic athlete's career, parts of his personal life, like the tragic story behind his father's death (though both his first wife, Juanita Vanoy, current wife, Yvette Prieto, and his children, were notably absent from the series, with his three eldest children finally making a brief appearance in the last episode), and his effect on pop culture. And the fans have a lot of feelings about it, taking to Twitter to share their love for the series—and devastation that it's all over.
Here, some of the best reactions on Twitter:
Some are about Michael Jordan's reaction at the end of the doc

Take a bow, #TheLastDance choreographers. Ending as epic as entire series. We can nitpick on sequencing and embellishing, omissions or exaggerations but can all agree it was 10 hours of riveting TV. Like Bulls of ‘90s, doc brought people together and met high expectations. Bravo.May 18, 2020

These last 5 Sundays have been the vacation we couldn't otherwise take right now. A great escape back to the 90s. Sports are great even when we don't have live sports #TheLastDanceMay 18, 2020
I don’t know why Jordan thought #TheLastDance would make him look like a horrible guy, it made me love him even more.May 18, 2020
MJ isn't satisfied with six ... because he knows he could have had seven 🏆 #TheLastDance pic.twitter.com/EEDvCni5T6May 18, 2020

Tells you everything you need to know about Jordan that 22!!! years later he still “can’t accept” that they didn’t find a way to go for a seventh championship. #TheLastDanceMay 18, 2020

For the Wizards fans out there.#TheLastDance pic.twitter.com/YumEZbjcYfMay 18, 2020
I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do on Sunday nights going forward now that I don't have The Last Dance to look forward to. Maybe the producers will take pity on us all and release one bonus episode that's just Michael Jordan's full reactions to watching what his teammates and the Bulls' management said about him on that iPad.
Because I'm ready for one interrupted hour of that MJ tea.
