Our expert round-up of the 10 best NBA players in the league.
The NBA has rarely been in such a great place when it comes to talent. From a few all-time greats still performing at elite levels to several up-and-coming superstars, the league is stacked with quality from top to bottom. Any ranking of its top 10 players will inevitably upset at least a couple of fanbases who believe their star belongs on the list. Even with a winning name that’s as close to consensus as we’ve been in a few years, this is no easy ranking to complete. How much weight should be placed on recent performances compared to full-career accolades? This list leans toward the former, but allows plenty of room for a player’s track record to shine as well. RadioTimes.com ranks the 10 best NBA players in the league right now. Read more: Best NBA players of all time 10. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander The newest entry to the NBA’s list of true superstars is SGA, a 24-year-old Canadian guard who has taken the league by storm. He averaged over 30 points per game and finished fifth in MVP voting for the 2022-23 season, then was arguably the best overall player in this summer’s FIBA World Cup. Gilgeous-Alexander operates at a cadence all his own, a whirring blend of limbs and dribble moves that have proven impossible for defences to crack – and capped by elite shooting from all over the floor. He’ll be a mainstay on lists like these for years to come. 9. Jimmy Butler To look only at Butler’s regular season statistics, one would question his place in any league-wide top 10. But when the play-offs come around, he’s simply a force – the kind of big-game player who consistently elevates the Heat to post-season runs no one ever saw coming. He hits huge shots, defends opposing stars and seems to singlehandedly will his team to victory with shocking frequency. Even if he never wins a title, he’ll go down as one of this generation’s most clutch players. 8. LeBron James If it seems completely absurd for a near-39-year-old to rank among the NBA’s 10 best players in his 21st season, that’s because it is. James continues to defy Father Time each year, and does it at a crazy high level: Still averaging around 25 points, eight rebounds and eight assists a game, even as the league’s oldest player. Within a year or two, James could be playing alongside his eldest son in the NBA – and might still be on this list, for all we know. What an incredible career. 7. Luka Dončić Some might view this placement as insulting to Dončić, who has certainly racked up some of the most impressive statistics of any player in recent seasons – over 32 points, eight rebounds and eight assists a night last year. Doncic is a one-man offence, an orchestra conductor with complete mastery over every piece on the floor. But his defensive commitment is inconsistent, to put it mildly, and it’s proven tough at times for his Dallas Mavericks to find ideal supporting players due to his unique play style. But he’s only 24, and can only go up from here. 6. Jayson Tatum Maybe the best of the NBA’s young guard today is Tatum, who at just 25 has already racked up four All-Star appearances, three All-NBA selections and a fourth-place finish in MVP. He’s the most complete young wing in the league, both an elite offensive creator and a high-level defender. Tatum is also incredibly durable, never missing more than 10 games in a single season despite playing huge minutes consistently. A title is the next big step for this young star, and at least one seems likely in the next few years. 5. Joel Embiid Embiid finally got his long-awaited MVP award after consecutive runner-up finishes, and is clearly among the game’s most dominant regular season players. His skill set for such a massive person is shocking, from deft footwork to long-distance shooting – and with brute force backing it all up. But with a growing track record of being less efficient and productive in the play-offs, fifth is the highest Embiid can rise on this list. 4. Kevin Durant One of the greatest scorers in NBA history is still doing his thing at 35, averaging over 30 points a night in his 17th season. He can play absolutely any role: Dominating the ball, spotting up around Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, distributing – you name it. He has one of the purest jumpers in the game and can get it off over any defender. Durant’s return to among the league’s best despite an Achilles tear that cost him a full season is nothing short of remarkable, and he’ll go down as an all-time great. 3. Stephen Curry Another legend still telling his story is Curry, who simply continues to amaze as the greatest shooter basketball has ever seen – and arguably its most unique offensive player ever. The four-time champ and nine-time All-Star seems to age like fine wine, still averaging 30 and ripping the nets from deep despite the toughest diet of shots of any player in the league. Few have ever changed the game like Curry, and he’s still going strong. 2. Giannis Antetokounmpo In a league that increasingly favours two-way dominance, Antetokounmpo may as well have been lab-created. Even with a shaky jumper, he’s an offensive wrecking ball and the league’s scariest force in the open floor; he’s also a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate, a guard-all-five-spots menace who somehow also might be the NBA’s best help defender. He’s fulfilled every bit of promise the Bucks saw when they took a chance on him in the middle of the first round in the 2013 Draft. 1. Nikola Jokić If the two straight MVPs weren’t enough, Jokic put together one of the most dominant play-off runs we’ve seen in ages on his way to the 2023 NBA title: 30 points, 13.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists a game, and one of the easiest Finals MVP calls ever. There’s truly no answer for his offensive game, which is perfect in every possible area. He’s the NBA’s best passer, an unstoppable post scorer, an ace jump-shooter and even an elite offensive rebounder. While observers often quibble about his defence, he’s so far ahead of the pack offensively that no one else could possibly occupy the top spot.

Our expert round-up of the 10 best NBA players of all time.
Ah, the NBA’s GOAT debate. It’s likely the single most common water cooler topic the league has to offer, a never-ending source of passionate, opinionated disagreement. Old-timers swear by the greats of their era, insisting their heights can never be reached again; younger generations tout today’s stars for pushing basketball forward. Subjective criteria often lead the day. Some favor the highest peaks players are able to reach, even if only for a short time, while others prefer longevity and consistency. The very best of all-time tend to check both boxes, but their precise ordering can vary heavily depending on how one weighs particular variables. RadioTimes.com ranks the 10 best NBA players of all time. Read more: Best NBA players in the league 10. Shaquille O’Neal One of the game’s biggest figures, both physically and otherwise, Shaq is a perfect embodiment of the “peak vs. longevity” debate. At his very best in the late 90s and early 2000s, and particularly in the playoffs, O’Neal played at a level maybe only two or three others in history have ever reached; he was also known for “playing into shape” and not exactly taking every single regular season game with the utmost seriousness. But with four NBA titles, three Finals MVP awards, 15 All-Star appearances and 14 All-NBA selections, he’s one of the most decorated players ever – and could rank even higher for “peak” enthusiasts. 9. Wilt Chamberlain By raw stats alone, Chamberlain’s ninth-place ranking among the all-time greats could feel like a slight. The man still owns numerous NBA records that may never fall, boasting preposterous stat lines like his 1961-62 season where he posted over 50 points and 25 rebounds per game. Chamberlain’s teams, however, regularly fell short in the biggest moments: He won just two championships in 15 seasons despite playing in a much smaller league than what we see today, and was regularly bested by another center we’ll see later on this list. And because the ultimate goal of NBA basketball is to take home a title at the end of the season, Chamberlain lands here. 8. Kobe Bryant Second only to perhaps MJ himself as a modern cultural icon, Bryant was also one of the NBA’s greatest players. Five titles, 18 All-Star appearances, and a stunning 12 All-Defensive team nods are just a brief snapshot of Bryant’s remarkable resume, which also includes a reputation as one of basketball’s true “clutch” greats – his list of game-winners and buzzer-beaters is hilariously long. Bryant’s tragic death in 2020 shocked the basketball world, but his immense contributions to the game and a whole era of fans will never be forgotten. 7. Magic Johnson Like O’Neal, Johnson is another Lakers legend whose peak is undeniable. While his career was sadly cut short by an AIDS diagnosis, he made the absolute most of every second he was in the NBA: Five titles in 13 seasons, 12 All-Star appearances, three MVPs and four assist crowns. He’s remained one of basketball’s great ambassadors and voices in the decades since his retirement, and will forever be one of the game’s most recognisable legends. 6. Tim Duncan Duncan embodies both peak and longevity in truly remarkable ways. In 19 seasons, all with the San Antonio Spurs, Duncan was both consistent and elite throughout – from a Rookie of the Year award in 1998 to five championships, two MVPs and 15 All-Star appearances. He’s regarded as one of basketball’s true statesmen, with a quiet and devoted approach that made him a legend in San Antonio. 5. Bill Russell Russell is the inverse of Chamberlain, his only true peer in his era, in several ways. While his statistics come nowhere close to Wilt’s, his impact on winning was unquestionably higher – as evidenced by the 11 titles the Celtics great racked up in just 13 seasons, often defeating Chamberlain’s team in the process. Widely regarded as the greatest defensive player ever and one of the game’s true winners, Russell was honoured with his name on the NBA Finals MVP trophy in 2005. 4. Larry Bird One of basketball’s great marksmen before distance shooting was popular, Larry Legend was also one of the NBA’s fiercest competitors. Most players would be thrilled with averaging 24 points, 10 rebounds and six assists per game for just one season; Bird put up those numbers for his career, which also included three rings, three MVPs and 12 All-Star games. He’s one of basketball’s best all-around players, and one who regularly came up huge in the biggest moments to boot. 3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Six titles. Six MVPs, most in NBA history. Nineteen All-Star appearances. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has the most unassailable, consistent resume of any player ever, and a legitimate case for the top spot on this list. From his signature sky-hook to his defensive prowess (he made 11 All-Defensive teams), Kareem absolutely defined the NBA in the 70s and 80s. He’s only added to his legacy as one of basketball’s great ambassadors since his retirement. 2. Michael Jordan This placement will be an insult to those who can never accept MJ anywhere but the top spot. He’s synonymous with winning, perhaps more than any other athlete in history: A perfect 6-0 in Finals appearances, all six coming with a Finals MVP nod; five MVPs, 14 All-Star appearances and a Defensive Player of the Year title; he even won All-Star Game MVP three times. He’s narrowly edged on this list, but will always be the GOAT for many basketball fans. 1. LeBron James Even if you quibble with James’ place atop this list, there’s no doubting his remarkable greatness. He combines Jordan’s peak with Abdul-Jabbar’s longevity, still going strong in year 21 of his sterling career. His Finals record doesn’t match Jordan’s, sure, but he’s been there more often (and sometimes with lesser supporting casts). He’s racked up four MVPs and the same number of Finals MVPs, plus 19 All-Star games and the most points in NBA history – and he’s still playing!

Steph Curry on new documentary: "That underrated mindset is always part of my DNA"
NBA superstar Stephen Curry talks exclusively to RadioTimes.com about being underrated, what motivates him and his proudest moment.
“At six-foot-two, he’s extremely small for a shooting guard. Do not rely on him to run your team. He overshoots, doesn’t like it when defences are too physical with him – and he’s not a great finisher.” Steph Curry’s draft report was proof that there were serious doubts about whether the rookie could adjust to the physicality of the NBA when he was drafted to the Golden State Warriors in 2009. Flash forward to 2023 and Steph Curry has won four NBA championships, two MVPs, a finals MVP and nine All-Star selections, and holds the record for the most career three-pointers. The documentary predominantly takes place before all the success and accolades when he was playing at a small town Division 1 College, where his journey to the very top was more improbable than inevitable. Through archival footage, Steph was able to relive his early basketball career and was given a fresh perspective on his time at Davidson College and how unlikely his success story was. Talking about reliving his Davidson years, Steph said: “Anybody who goes through seasons of life probably has core memories of what your experience was and you can relive it in your head but when you tie that together with old footage, some of the highlights and some of the lowlights of the years there. “And then also you get the perspective of all the amazing people that were a part of my story: my parents, coaches, teammates, people around the Davidson community. It's an amazing vantage point to just understand how much it impacted so many different people in a lot of different ways.” He added: “That is something that the documentary does a great job of diving into. I learned a lot about my own journey by going back and seeing how much it impacted so many different people.” The framing of the documentary was interesting as there are incredible moments and career highlights that aren’t referenced. However, producer Ryan Coogler believes it is often the overlooked aspects of stories that are the most exciting to tell. He said: “On the surface, everybody knows Steph Curry – he’s the greatest shooter who has ever lived, he has won these championships for the Golden State Warriors, but the part that is overlooked is what happened before that? “Was it preordained that he was going to do this or was it more than meets the eye with this guy before he hit the international stage? To answer that question, absolutely! The future for him was very unlikely. If you run the clock back, people would have told you it was crazy that this guy would change the trajectory of the whole league!” Steph Curry has always been an underdog. From a young age people had always labelled him as too small, too skinny and that he didn’t have the strength to compete in the NBA. Many colleges around the country overlooked Steph for those reasons but Davidson College took a chance on him and the rest is history. It is this story of an underdog defying the odds that Coogler believes makes the documentary so effective to a wider audience, not just NBA fans. He said: “Everybody knows what it feels like to be underrated or undervalued or overlooked or to have a chip on their shoulder. I think it is that quality that makes this story so universal.” Alongside the likes of superstars Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, Steph Curry led the Golden State Warriors to their first NBA Championship since 1975. This started one of the most dominant dynasties in sports history as they won a further two rings in ‘17 and ‘18. After defeat to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 Finals, the dynasty ended as Kevin Durant was traded to Brooklyn Nets and Klay Thompson suffered a serious ACL injury and the Warriors missed the Playoffs in the following two seasons. NBA journalists and media were strong with criticism and claimed the Warriors would never lift another championship and that Steph Curry wasn’t the player he once was. Read more Big RT Interviews: Guenther Steiner on Russian war pressure, an all-electric future – and his warning to historic race tracks Letitia Wright on new Western Surrounded and working with the late Michael K Williams Eva Longoria on Flamin' Hot: "I've been told 'ideas don't come from people like you'" If anyone has learned anything from Steph Curry’s journey, it should be to never write him off – he always finds a way to defy the odds. The documentary ends with Steph Curry and his team doing just that as the Warriors won the 2022 NBA Championship. This was the championship that meant the most to Steph as it truly encapsulated his underrated spirit, similar to his Davidson years. He said: “There was a synergy with the Davidson years and trying to really build towards something special and everything that goes into that. The sacrifice, not just from me, but from every teammate that I play with, every coach, everyone is pouring everything that they had into a shared goal. “That ‘22 Championship was an embodiment of that same spirit, overcoming the odds and defying what people say about you and accomplishing a goal you all put together.” Steph Curry has won everything there is to win in the game and cemented his legacy as one of the greatest of all time. It would be understandable if he rested on his laurels but that is the last thing on his mind as he is as dedicated and motivated as ever. Steph said: “I have gratitude and an appreciation for the skill set and ability that I’ve been given and the work that I’ve put into it, I don’t ever want to cheat that. “That underrated mindset is always a part of my DNA and how I approach anything so you’ll never see me take my foot off the gas pedal until the ball really stops bouncing and I can’t do it at the level I want to do it anymore, just because I don’t want to take for granted the gifts that I’ve been given. “Once I found out what my gift was and my passion was, whatever I pour into it, I try to maintain it as long as I can. The biggest thing is just having fun. I try to bring joy to everything I do and hopefully that comes through in the documentary, really being present in everything that I get to do.” View Green Video on the source website Stephen Curry: Underrated premieres globally on Apple TV+ today (Friday 21st July 2023) – you can sign up to Apple TV+ here.

When will NBA return? Season return date confirmed
The NBA is entering the business end of the season and it has announced a return date
Basketball has enjoyed a reputation-enhancing break during lockdown with a raft of curious new fans sure to tune in following the rampant success of hit Netflix series The Last Dance. Many sports fans who tuned in to watch Michael Jordan's rise with the Chicago Bulls – particularly in the UK – may have never sat down to watch the NBA in the modern era, if at all. The good news is that when the league thaws from its deep freeze, teams are entering the final stretch before the play-offs, and the drama is sure to be as intense as ever. We'll be covering the NBA in the build-up to its comeback with a return date confirmed for the action. Check out our guide to when the NBA will return and how to watch the drama unfold in the UK. When will NBA return? Early indications that suggested action will recommence in July have been confirmed. The NBA will return on 31st July 2020 with 22 teams returning to action. Only those with a realistic shot at the play-offs will be brought back from the deep freeze. They will play eight regular season games before heading into the play-offs. The season is expected to wrap up on 12th October. Where will NBA be played? Disney World, of course! A deal has been reached to play all remaining games at the sprawling site in Orlando. The 220-acre complex had been earmarked as a perfect hub to locate all the teams and complete the games, and now that suggestion has become a reality. Watch NBA in the UK We've compiled a full guide to watching the NBA once the action resumes. Most games will be shown live on Sky Sports in the UK, with regular action set to resume in the coming weeks. Check out the link below for further details and updates once scheduling information has been confirmed. How to watch NBA in the UK
What did Michael Jordan do after The Last Dance? Did he retire?
The Last Dance takes us to the end of Michael Jordan's career with the Chicago Bulls, but he continued to play in the NBA for another team
Michael Jordan did not retire following the events of The Last Dance. Bombshell, right? For sports fans who took a keen interest in the Chicago Bulls star at the time, that's hardly a revelation, but new converts to Jordan may not know that while the 1997/98 season was indeed his last dance in Chi-town, his last game in the NBA came in 2003. Why Manchester United should be given the 'Last Dance' treatment Jordan retired from basketball for a second time when the Bulls were split up by general manager Jerry Krause, but was coaxed back into the game for two seasons with the Washington Wizards between 2001 and 2003. He played 60 games in his comeback year, and all 82 in his final season before a third – and definitive – retirement. He led the team in scoring, assists and steals in 2001/02 before torn cartilage in his right knee prematurely brought his season to an end. Jordan returned in 2002/03 – during which he turned 40 – and brought an inevitable wave of popularity to the Wizards. However, Jordan couldn't bring success to the team. The Wizards failed to reach the play-offs in either season as Jordan bemoaned the teammates around him. He would openly criticise members of the squad in the media, perhaps trying to replicate the fearsome aura he cultivated and used to mould players with in Chicago. Will there be a season 2 of The Last Dance? Ultimately, his spell in Washington would have been a failure in his eyes, after all, they didn't win anything. However, during his very last outing – on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers in April 2003 – the packed-out opposing crowd chanted for Jordan to come off the bench and see the game out. He did so for less than a minute, then left the court to a three-minute standing ovation from his teammates, opponents, officials, and the entire crowd. Jordan's true last dance.
How to watch Space Jam featuring The Last Dance star Michael Jordan
The Last Dance has drawn to a close but Space Jam – Michael Jordan's true masterpiece – is available to watch online
The Last Dance has introduced a whole new generation to the global phenomenon that is Michael Jordan. Not only is Jordan the greatest player to grace a basketball court, but he has gone on to become one of the most marketable athletes in history. His Air Jordan shoe range has surged in sales since The Last Dance aired, but we can't talk about Jordan without discussing his greatest impact on pop culture – Space Jam. It's ludicrous, it's PR genius, it's Jordan and Bugs Bunny teaming up to beat an opposing basketball team of space goons – and it's available to watch online around the world. How to watch Space Jam in UK Space Jam is available to watch on Netflix in the UK. In fact, it arrived on the streaming service the same day as the first episodes of The Last Dance. A coincidence, of course! How to watch Space Jam in US Unfortunately for US viewers, Space Jam is not on Netflix. You can rent the movie from Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, YouTube and Google Play Store for $3.99. When is Space Jam 2 coming out? Space Jam 2 is happening under the title 'Space Jame: A New Legacy'. The film will feature LeBron James in the main role, with a host of NBA stars lined up for cameo appearances. The film is scheduled to be released in July 2021, though it remains to be seen whether the coronavirus backlog could cause any delays. Will Michael Jordan appear in Space Jam 2? It remains to be seen whether Jordan will appear in the sequel. It's highly unlikely there won't be at least an obvious tip of the hat to MJ, but whether the original main man will actually appear is anyone's guess right now.
Will there be The Last Dance season 2 on Netflix? Kobe Bryant series coming soon?
The Last Dance has captured the attention of sports fans around the world but will there be a season 2?
The Last Dance has proven to be a major success for Netflix as it continues its impressive foray into sports documentaries. Sunderland 'Til I Die proved to be a big win for the online streaming giant, with two seasons released so far, and The Last Dance could have a future beyond the original run of episodes with a different focus. Check out the latest details on whether there will be a second season of The Last Dance. Will there be The Last Dance season 2? Will we see any more of Michael Jordan and the 90s Chicago Bulls? Almost certainly not. The documentary has been comprehensive in its coverage of Jordan since his high school and college days right the way through his career until the very end. He was the centre point of the Bulls' success, meaning the show won't just simply follow on the story of the franchise after Jordan's departure. But does that mean season 2 is off the table? Not exactly. Viewers were left emotional during The Last Dance as previously unseen interview footage with Kobe Bryant was shown, filmed just weeks before his tragic death in a helicopter accident. He discusses the impact of Jordan and the documentary shows his first steps in the game as the new pretender to Michael's throne. Bryant's tragic passing raises the potential for a new season of The Last Dance, should creators decide to turn him into the focus after season one ends. The prospect has been raised... Will there be a Kobe Bryant series? Bryant stayed with the LA Lakers for 20 years, building a long-term legacy with one franchise akin to the great Jordan. A camera crew followed Bryant throughout his final season in the NBA in 2015/16, an eerily similar style to how the cameras rolled during Jordan's final Bulls season. John Black, former Head of PR for the Lakers, told ESPN: "They had unprecedented and, by far, greater access than anyone else ever. We certainly allowed them to do everything we could within what the league would allow, and sometimes, with a wink and look-the-other-way, allowed them even more." Lakers legend Magic Johnson – who features heavily in The Last Dance – believes a Kobe series is inevitable: "That's definitely going to happen. I think he was smart enough to have a camera follow him, document every movement… so we are going to see a lot of behind-the-scenes things on Kobe and probably let us into his world with his family." It remains to be seen whether ESPN – the creators of The Last Dance – will pursue the rights to piece Kobe's life story together, but given the similarities between his and Jordan's career, the top notch execution of the series and the success of the TLD series name, it all seems like a perfect fit, a stunning way to honour a true great of the modern era. What is The Last Dance about? The year is 1997. Jordan is the hottest property in basketball and American sport overall. He has inspired the one-time rudderless Chicago Bulls to five NBA titles in seven years alongside coach Phil Jackson, but upper management is threatening to break the team apart, starting with a new head coach. Turmoil. Jackson is set to leave Chicago at the end of 1997/98, and Jordan has had enough, he refuses to play for any other coach, and will leave the Bulls in tandem with Jackson. It's coming to the end of a momentous era, and Jackson labels his plans for the season 'The Last Dance'. The series boasts the overarching theme of the 1997/98 campaign, but each episode dips back in time to a previous title-winning year, highlighting the journey of the Bulls, the incredible supporting cast and the drama, rivalries, controversies along the way.
Who is Dennis Rodman? What The Last Dance star did in Las Vegas and details of friendship with Kim Jong Un
Rodman has returned to the spotlight in The Last Dance following his infamous Las Vegas vacation
Netflix's hit The Last Dance has shone a light on Michael Jordan and the legendary '90s Chicago Bulls stars in recent weeks. The docuseries has transcended sport with social media buzzing about the show, in particular, the life and antics of Dennis Rodman. One of the NBA's most divisive characters, Rodman plays a starring role in one episode as he demands a mid-season vacation to recharge, destress and prepare to go again. He chose Las Vegas. Who is Dennis Rodman? Rodman was a superb defensive player in the NBA for the Detroit Pistons – a team whose physicality and aggression generated a seismic rivalry with Jordan's Bulls. Several years later, the Bulls picked up Rodman and he slotted in to become a huge influence on the team alongside Jordan and Scottie Pippen. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2020/05/GettyImages-1172067255-c70dbdd.jpg" width="2156" height="1667" alt="Dennis Rodman of the Chicago Bulls leans on the scorers table as he waits to come into the game against the Utah Jazz 10 June in game four of the NBA Finals at the United Center in Chicago, IL. Rodman hit four free throws down the stretch to lead the Bulls as they beat the Jazz 86-82 to lead the best-of-seven series 3-1. AFP PHOTO/Jeff HAYNES (Photo by JEFF HAYNES / AFP) (Photo credit should read JEFF HAYNES/AFP via Getty Images)" title="BKN-JAZZ-BULLS-RODMAN-SIGN" /> He was renowned for his fierce showdowns with opponents, getting in their faces and intimidating anyone he had to in order to win. Rodman was a true cult hero, a maverick superstar whose flamboyant personality extended beyond the court. The New Jersey-born star was briefly married to American model and actress Carmen Electra and dated Madonna during the run of the show, while his garish hairstyles and outlandish style choices made him a top target for the US media to follow. Now, how about that holiday? What did Dennis Rodman do in Las Vegas? Jordan protested coach Phil Jackson's decision to let Rodman leave Chicago for '48 hours'. He said: "You let him go on vacation, we’re not going to see him. You let him go to Vegas, and we’re definitely not going to see him." Rodman's request was approved. In the words of then-girlfriend Electra, who features in The Last Dance: "It was on, the party was starting right away. We’d go to his favourite restaurant, then we’d go to a night club, then we’d go to after hours, it didn’t stop." The 48-hour deadline came and passed, leaving Jordan with the task of personally flying out to Vegas in a bid to hunt down Rodman. View oEmbed on the source website Jordan found his team-mate and dragged him from his bed with Electra back to Chicago where he settled back into the team and hit the ground running. It wasn't Rodman's only night in Vegas, as stories emerged of him partying with Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins on an off-night during the 1997 NBA Finals. According to the singer, he spent just eight hours in Vegas before reportedly flying back to Utah. This is just one reaction to the scenes in The Last Dance. "I knew about everything else but not that. I didn't know that you could do that. I didn't know that you could go up to your coach and be like, 'Hey, I need a vacation'." That quote comes from a young Washington State basketball player. Yep. DJ Rodman, son of Dennis. Is Dennis Rodman a friend of Kim Jong Un? Since his NBA glory days, Rodman has maintained his... vibrant image having featured on a range of reality TV shows and celebrity game shows. Amazingly, he even made three appearances for British Basketball League team Brighton Bears in 2006. But that's only the tip of the iceberg for his post-career antics. In 2013, he was hired by a gambling firm to arrive at the Vatican City during the voting process for the selection of the new pope, and was the centre of a controversial film documenting a trip to North Korea. Rodman has made several trips to the North Korea at the request of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un – reportedly a huge fan of the NBA and Chicago Bulls. He was pictured hugging Kim and told him: "You have a friend for life". Subsequent trips have seen clips emerging of Rodman singing 'Happy Birthday' to the North Korean leader Rodman jetted to Singapore in 2018 ahead of the historic summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un, and while White House officials stressed he was not invited as an official part of the entourage, Rodman told reporters he was "just happy to be a part of it because I think I deserve it".

Reason why Michael Jordan wore number 23 - and why he switched to 45
The Last Dance has brought Michael Jordan back under the spotlight
Michael Jordan is the name back on sports fans' lips following the release – and universal success – of hit Netflix series The Last Dance. The show details the rise of Jordan and the Chicago Bulls during the early 90s, culminating in an electrifying 'last dance' season as the team approached the end of their glory days together. Not only was Jordan a success on the court, but he became a global phenomenon off it with surging Air Jordan shoe sales and his iconic Number 23 seared into NBA fans' minds – but why did he wear 23 and why did he switch numbers? Why did Michael Jordan wear number 23? Jordan took up the number 23 jersey from an early age dating back to his time at Laney High School. His older brother Larry was already on the team with the number 45, so Jordan simply halved the number to reach 23 – with the help of a little rounding up. He continued to don the 23 for the University of North Carolina where he made a name for himself and ultimately earned a shot at the NBA in 1984. He joined the Bulls and kept his shirt number for nine years, though he was forced to wear number 12 for a game after his traditional jersey went missing prior to a game. For the latest news and expert tips on getting the best deals this year, take a look at our Black Friday 2021 and Cyber Monday 2021 guides. Why did Michael Jordan switch to number 45? Jordan retired from the NBA in October 1993 following the murder of his father several months earlier. He stated that he had lost the desire to play the game and couldn't continue. He went on to play Minor League Baseball for a spell. The Bulls retired the number 23 shirt in honour of Jordan in 1994, but he pulled another shock move. "I'm back" declared Jordan as he returned for the final stretch of the 1994/95 season. He wore the number 45 during that season, his brother Larry's old number. However, following a couple of uncharacteristic errors, a famous Magic Johnson quote: "No. 45 doesn't explode like No. 23 used to" inspired Jordan to return to his old number 23, and silenced the critics with a dazzling end to his career.
Disney World could host all remaining NBA games
The 2019/20 NBA season could continue with all games being played at Disney World
The NBA is seeking a solution to end the current season, and one unorthodox method could be playing all remaining games at Disney World in Florida. League officials are eyeing up a 'bubble city' where players and staff from all 30 teams can be quarantined together to limit exposure to the coronavirus. Reports suggest the idea of hosting games at Disney World has been floated for several weeks now, with the parks situated close to Orlando Magic facilities as well as boasted numerous hotels and importantly basketball courts – and space for courts. Further plus points include the fact that Disney owns ESPN, a broadcaster of the NBA, and Disney chairman Bob Iger reportedly made a presentation to the NBA's board of governors earlier this month about a potential plan, according to Associated Press journalist Tim Reynolds. It remains unclear whether the NBA will continue its regular season or cut straight through to the play-offs with only 16 teams to make the cut as opposed to the full league returning. It would be a highly unorthodox end to an unprecedented level of sporting disruption, but more solutions like this may be required if leagues are to rush through their final games. In the UK, the Premier League has reportedly looked into hosting games in the Midlands with designated quarantine hotels for players and staff, though of course there are far more players and staff involved with association football clubs than in the NBA.
The Last Dance review: You know Michael Jordan – but do you really?
The Last Dance puts Michael Jordan's career front and centre in an age where his silhouette is a misplaced legacy
You have heard of Michael Jordan. You know Michael Jordan. It's Michael Jordan. Of course you know Michael Jordan. But do you actually know Michael Jordan? The cultural impact of the basketball titan is splashed across the globe, the brand, the iconic Jumpman logo is stamped onto every Nike product – from shoes to PSG football jerseys – that image is pressed into our mind. Here in the UK, plenty know Jordan was 'the man', many did grow up idolising his every move in a Chicago Bulls jersey but in a nation where basketball isn't the done thing, his legacy feels somewhat restricted to his brand, to his reputation, without truly know why he was 'the man'. As a child of the 90s, barely able to reach up to Jordan's knee height for much of the timespan The Last Dance focuses on, I too fell into the category of knowing Jordan is the best without truly fathoming why. The Last Dance is tailor-made for those who know Jordan to be more than a fashion symbol, without truly knowing the tale of his rise. The Last Dance focuses on the all-conquering Chicago Bulls team in the 90s, a one-time farcical franchise, bottom of the pecking order in a city dominated by baseball, ice hockey and NFL. That was pre-Jordan. View oEmbed on the source website Netflix's latest sports documentary hangs on the end of an era, the Bulls won five titles in seven years, with the series pinned on the 1997/98 campaign as one-time behemoths creep towards their sell-by date and an aggressive backroom management strategy that seeks to tear down the dynasty to build another. It brims with interviews – from the time and in the present day – by an ice-cool, cigar-swivelling Jordan and his team-mates, key members of backroom staff, opposing legends, even a pair of presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton weigh in with a glint in their eye. The intimacy of the sport, a minimal roster of guys led by a figurehead coach, lends itself well to the docu-series style. It's simple enough picking up the guys and becoming invested quickly. Jordan is clearly the poster-boy for the show, but the story of the Robin to MJ's Batman, Scottie Pippen, is given plenty of breathing room. The series is wrapped around the character and influence of Jordan without suffocating him – sub-plots are given air and there are some remarkable tales to be told. If you grew up watching Jordan in action, The Last Dance will be a solid nostalgia trip for you, a sporting fix designed to evoke the romanticism of sport in the 90s. If Jordan's meaning to you has been inadvertently limited to a silhouette designed to sell shoes and shirts, The Last Dance is your chance to learn the legend for yourself. The Last Dance is available on Netflix from Monday, 20th March – check out what else is on with our TV Guide
