Michael Jordan is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player ever and is arguably the greatest athlete of all time. What isn't up for debate, though, is his level of fame.

Everything from the iconic highlight reels and TV commercials to the number 23, the Jumpman logo, and the unforgettable crying meme easily make Michael Jordan the most well-known athlete in the world.

But even years after his retirement, sports fans have been dying to get an inside look at his life and career. ESPN gave fans exactly that with the recent release of "The Last Dance," a 10-part docuseries about the 1997-1998 Chicago Bulls.

While the documentary is centered around the team's final championship run, it largely focuses on the span of Michael Jordan's career, including highlight moments like his mother forcing him to take a meeting at Nike, all five of his previous championship wins, his short stint in baseball, and more.

There are two main takeaways from the docuseries. First, in addition to Jordan's natural talents, he had a relentless will to win and an unmatched level of determination, which is admirable by anyone who ever wanted to succeed at anything. The second is that his sneakers and gear on and off the court were always cool.
