In the midst of lockdown in 2020, the world was gripped by The Last Dance, a Netflix series about the legendary Chicago Bulls team of the mid to late 1990s.
But what many don’t realise is that there was an Australian basketballer playing right alongside the iconic Michael Jordan.
Luc Longley was the first Australian to play in the NBA. He won three consecutive championships as the team’s starting centre.
Since retiring in 2001, Luc has intentionally kept a low profile but the success of The Last Dance has generated enormous interest in him, particularly given his absence from the series. Now he is ready to tell his story.
This two-part Australian Story features interviews with Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Phil Jackson and Steve Kerr.
