The eight-episode The Last Dance will feature Bryant saying Jordan is like a big brother to him. “To hear Kobe in that scene say he’s (Michael) like my big brother and then to have Michael give that famous speech that he gave at Kobe’s memorial service, saying, ‘Rest in peace, little brother,’ it just shows you how genuine that relationship was between the two of them," director Jason Hehir tells The Athletic. "That scene is so much more poignant now and it was such a cool scene to begin with.” The documentary also includes three separate interviews with Jordan that included moments that were so emotional he had to ask for a break.
