LeBron James Explains How Michael Jordan Got Him Through the 'Dark Days' of His Childhood

  • fave

  • share

Now that ESPN’s docuseries “The Last Dance” has concluded, it has proved to be a ratings smash all the way through.

One person who joined a discussion about him was LeBron James, who spoke about “The Last Dance” on Monday, May 18, on “Uninterrupted’s” “WRTS: After Party.”

James first spoke about Jordan retiring in 1993 to play minor league baseball, months after his father was murdered in North Carolina.

The Los Angeles Lakers star said that Jordan walking away from basketball then was traumatic, because he used the inspiration Jordan gave him to get through difficult times.

James raised his wine glass while talking about the final episodes of “The Last Dance” during the conversation and said it only makes him want to play basketball that much more.
