The Last Dance
Watching “The Last Dance” tonight, I kept thinking about how much I wish Shawn Jr was right beside me watching it. I am not sure he ever really appreciated the greatness of MJ. Sure he had seen some highlights and knows the stats. But this documentary gives a real inside look into what it was like to be the most dominate player in the NBA. It would give Shawn Jr of bit of my perspective on the MJ v. LBJ debate. He would have loved it.
As I was about the lay down for the night, Misty brought me a stack of papers. We have been cleaning / organizing our bedroom during this crazy time of COVID and she was digging through some papers. She handed me a stack of papers. On them we had been keeping track of Shawn Jr’s medications and the amount of fluid draining off his lungs. So many medication and painful memories.
This paper was from June 19th. We didn’t know it at the time, but he only had about 3 weeks to live. This was part of the historical record from his Last Dance.
Hard times.
I am reminded that LeBron is not done yet. So while he may not be here to see it, Jr. may have the last word in this debate.
