Welcome.

The round ball rap on Mark Spirit from ESPN is the undefeated on this special edition.

We reflect on the 1st 2 episodes of ESPN.

The last dance I'm joined by my co host and former MBA all start Kenyon Martin and our special guest Bulls star guard Zach Lavine.

1st 2 episodes of the last dance Boy Man is that good?

Those 1st 2 episodes mad like What did your day?

There were great.

I tweeted out right afterward.

That's I wish I could have walked.

I could have literally watch all 10 of them right now.

So you know, at least it gives me something to look forward to each weekend.

But it was a lot of part man.

Part of my childhood was even though I wasn't a Bulls fan growing up, I was still a Michael Jordan guy.

Um, I was a Pistons fan growing up, but just to see it now, man, to see it all when it was all about huge.

So Episode one man, it's set it around Michael Jordan and his early days not just like the Bulls, but growing up in North Carolina.

Zach, Everything you saw off in Episode one was the most interesting thing to you about Jordan.

And what did you learn about him?

That you, perhaps it and already Kenya Kenya was was older, toe weaker.

Really Like understanding.

I was young when I first really got to join my outboard 95.

I didn't really understand how much of like fiction of competitiveness missy at it was like it was off the charts.

It literally you know, you hear about people saying, you know, I don't like different things like it really bugged the hell out of him.

I got so I didn't really like how mentally compared to work.

Kenyan Sun and Scottie Pippen son were actually teammates.

It's two year Canyon in L.

A.

I know.

Can you spend a lot of time with now?

But what did you learn about Pippen?

Ah, episode to dip.

Perhaps you didn't know won the contract situation.

Ah, new pitch has signed.

I've heard that it was a bad deal, but you don't know that.

I never knew the numbers about it, but I understood why Still why did from a small town in Arkansas He was the second best player on the best team in the league, and he was the six high straight player on his team 122nd in the league.

That's crazy, because you because if you are, because if you really, really sit down and think about it, he wasn't just the second best player on the Bulls.

A lot of people might say he was the second best player in the league.

I was with my mom, my dad, my dad said.

I didn't even know that.

It's crazy to think like you said he.

It's Scottie Pippen Union Station.

Essentially, you cut some of the situation that you come from, and everybody has a special situation that makes them good and makes them who they are.

You know that their background, what they came from and overcame.

But it's just it's alarming, like you said that you had to deal with that while being a top five player there.

Kyra.

Every day for the last 10 years, that's that's crazy.

I come from a situation where I was a single.

My mother raised me and my sister no dad around um, Mile was I John about the hard job, try to get the ends of the meat.

And when it was my turn to make my big money, I turned down the deal that everybody thought I should have took.

I get it all myself.

I was able to overcome the previous year.

So I get why people did and everybody's situation of circumstances different.

What?

So what you been a current member of the Bulls?

How did you if any way did you notice the connection with with your current team in the past, teams that you can relate to now, being a bowl?

I mean, obviously, team wise, there's no comparison, So that s a topic.

You know, I'm still trying make my first playoff appearance.

You know, e.

I think it's really cool seeing where they came from and how this all came about.

You know, we're in a stage now where, even last year, I think we're at a place where we're time make the playoffs.

You know, I think we're good enough, but we just implants are nothing's gonna be like that 19 years, and I think Chicago always relates back to, you know, the Jordan areas.

There's no there's no one that's going top batteries come close to Michael Jordan, so I think it's just cool to see where it came from.

Out started.

Do you noticed the championship banners?

Do you notice Jordan difference?

Jerseys up there like, Do you pay attention to that?

And what comes?

Put that the first time I walked into the practice facility.

I know with the band.

So we have the banners hanging on the tracks facility, and it's I came from Minnesota, and, you know, there wasn't a whole lot winning, no banners hanging up in Minnesota.

Chicago isn't hanging any other band, you know.

It's just It's Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen.

And those were the you know, those guys that you look up to respect.

You know, Michael, door noses, everybody's inspiration.

So you look of used to that 23 up there and you see the statue.

Um, you know, it just puts you back in your places, like, Okay, this is this is somewhere special, but you don't get the full effect into the music starts introduction.

Man gave me chills my first time playing back there just brought back all the memories from those guys winning championships and just hearing that thing.

That's crazy that you like that.

That ring is his universe.

Faintness?

Yes.

Yes.

You know, for everybody here know that's that Bulls job.

That's that Michael Jordan is crazy.

I got a funny story about forgot about the Lakers.

You know, the first time I played their group, the biggest leg back, So cited complaint against the Lakers in Staples Center.

And I totally forgot about the banners falling down the stream falling down.

It almost hit me.

And it scared this.

What is this?

I thought I was like a movie.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Just like for people that don't know like a bet falls from the scoreboard, the jumble trying circle and tell you nothing, Julius.

Not because they, you know they know where to stand.

We were all upon almost center quarters.

Your career, man, you've been making a lot of noise this year and previous years.

Has it been a prolific scorer?

What are you looking forward to learning more about yourself in your game and your teammates?

I've been able to step into more of the leadership role and just asking more of myself.

I won't be able to come.

You know and give more each year.

Being able to do that is going back looking at faults.

I think I took a step in the right direction this year with my defense, and I started to get better that I have the one anything, my media and I'll do anything to get, you know, sometimes make a playoff, help our team, make playoffs.

You know, I think that's the my next step in as a player in division use is getting on that winning.

I think it's a huge step, man.

I'm a firm believing if you can't take yourself that nobody else can help you get better.

Just watching this, you know it gets you mawr more pumped up like you miss it.

Zack.

Man, I last one for you, man on ground ball wrapped.

We always in this way.

We have somebody what their top five is.

So what's your top five?

Also, we're making you coach of the Bulls.

You think?

Everybody, What's your top five players?

You want a new tone, your teeth?

Wow.

Miles in the starting lineup for way, Candace Candace Parker put you in her is on the show, so you might as well with my girl, man This rock which I'm gonna go D road that one.

My God put me in there.

So I'm gonna go me and to Michael's bigger than make sleep Play three Scott, He has the four, and I put out okay, Okay.

Still really good with the Bulls that one year he averaged like he was all three, every 18 and eight.

So you dug into crates for now.

I'm impressed, but they're going a couple born that team.

You know what?

That's going to be resting.

I'll play D and everybody.

I'm not trying to do a defensive player.

Kids say, you know, you know, we don't win, though.

Most important is that I love you, brother.
