Originally aired June 2024. Roland Lazenby (MAGIC: The Life of Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Michael Jordan: The Life) joins host Thomas Emerick to revisit a passing-of-the-torch NBA Finals closeout game between the Bulls and Lakers. Lazenby covered this series as well as wrote biographies on Magic, Michael, and Phil Jackson. The story doesn't end here in 1991 either.
