This week on Beyond The Court, the entire crew comes together to review episodes 5 and 6 of @ESPN’s mini-series, #TheLastDance. As we hit the midway point of the documentary, episode 5 opens with a touching tribute to Kobe Bean Bryant. The intentional placement of the tribute at the start of the episode is beautifully brought together by taking the audience behind the scenes of the 1998 All-Star game at MSG, where a 19-year-old Kobe faces his idol, in what would become a lasting brotherhood between two fierce competitors. The BTC crew discusses this relationship in depth along with various other topics such as, the iconic Jordan Brand, the conception of the Dream Team and Jordan’s rise over his peers. We also get a glimpse into the effects and challenges that come with fame as MJ and the Bulls defeat the rugged Knicks and stare down the road to their first three-peat against the Suns, led by Charles Barkley
