WHAT’S THE SERIES ABOUT?

The series is a behind the curtain look at the Chicago Bulls and their 1997/98 season in what was their final championship year. It capped off a historic run with their sixth championship in eight seasons and marked the second time in that run they’d go back-to-back-to-back.

Not only is the series about that season, but it looks back into the lives of the central figures from Michael Jordan to Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and even the mastermind head coach Phil Jackson.
