SINGAPORE - The Last Dance, the critically acclaimed docuseries based on National Basketball Association legend Michael Jordan's career with the Chicago Bulls, may be based on events that happened over two decades ago, but it still provides timeless inspiration for Singapore's athletes.
WHAT MJ TAUGHT THEM Swimmer Teong Tzen Wei learnt how a champion first conquers his mind before his opponents. Jordan's hiatus from basketball after he completed the first hat-trick of his career in 1993 also teaches valuable lessons. Exhausted and devastated by the murder of his father, he retired and the following year signed a Minor League Baseball contract with the Chicago White Sox.
For national bowler Jazreel Tan, The Last Dance provided not only a sporting masterclass, but also a life lesson in"independence, maturity, determination, setting goals, striving to achieve them, and never to give up or be complacent". The 24-year-old said:"It's like how defenders don't get the limelight that shooters do for scoring, but people will see and appreciate how important it is for defenders to intercept a play."
"It shows you need to know how to put your focus into different and specific areas, but also learn how to relax and have fun. In Singapore, we are generally hardworking and single-minded, and we always have this fear that if we don't work hard enough, we will regret it.National basketballer Wong Wei Long has represented Singapore for 14 years and is also a coach after establishing the Scholar Basketball Academy in 2015.
