It only took ESPN's The Last Dance the better part of a month to get to the part where Michael Jordan filmed Space Jam on the Warner Brothers lot over 20 years ago. As the 10-part miniseries has opened up an in-depth look at Jordan and his career with the Chicago Bulls, it was but a matter of time before the series reached the point on the timeline when the classic animated flick was introduced.

As with previous episodes of the record-setting documentary, the joint production between ESPN and Netflix got its hands on previously-unearthed footage from the set of Space Jam, including bizarre green screen behind-the-scenes footage. Then, on top of everything else, there was footage aplenty of Jordan's after-hours pick-up basketball games in a makeshift arena Warner Brothers built on its lot at the request of the NBA Hall of Famer.
