Bomani Jones on Michael Jordan, “The Last Dance,” and Activism in the N.B.A.

Posted May 17, 2020
To talk about “The Last Dance” and Michael Jordan’s legacy, I spoke with Bomani Jones, who hosts the ESPN podcast “The Right Time.” We discussed the different ways that Jordan and LeBron James have dealt with fame, why Jordan steered clear of politics for much of his career, and why it makes sense to think of Jordan as a man of the nineteen-eighties.
