'Last Dance' is ending, but Amazon Prime has plenty for Bulls fans to watch

"The Last Dance" has been the television event of the year for those of us who grew up watching Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls win six championships in the '90s, and plenty of us will be hungry for more when the last two episodes of the basketball documentary air beginning at 8 p.m. Sunday on ESPN (unedited) and ESPN 2 (edited for foul language).

If you're an Amazon Prime member, you're about to have a feast.

Remember those NBA highlight videos you rented from Blockbuster? "Michael Jordan's Playground," "Michael Jordan: Come Fly With Me," "Michael Jordan: Above and Beyond" ... they're all on Prime Video.

Remember the championship VHS tapes you ordered off TV or bought at Walgreens? The 1997 and 1998 editions are on Prime, too.

Want to watch entire games? There are plenty of those, too, You can see Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Co. clinch their first title in 1991 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Or the infamous "Flu Game," in which a sick MJ scored 38 points in the 1997 finals against Utah.

I know what I'll be watching late Sunday night.

What about 'Space Jam'?

Sadly, the beloved big-screen bash with MJ and Bugs Bunny isn't streaming anywhere, but you can rent or buy it digitally from iTunes, vudu and similar platforms.

While the movie is still surprisingly entertaining, I'd much rather see more footage from those on-set all-star pickup games that we glimpsed on last weekend's "Last Dance." Can we make that happen, ESPN?
