At the end of the first episode of ESPN’s “The Last Dance,” the epic 10-part Bulls documentary series that launched Sunday night, I’m right back in 1996, a teenager glued to my parents’ pre-HD TV as the first notes of “Sirius” sound and Michael Jordan gets set to run into the techno-lighted madness of Chicago’s United Center.

It’s jarring to see Jordan as something other than an abstract icon. But there you are, in his house. It’s the most human lens through which we’ve ever seen him. The sweetest moment comes when his mother, Deloris, reads a letter he wrote her while he was at North Carolina.
