Lessons From Michael Jordan And The Last Dance–Presented By YCharts
For the last five Sundays at 9:00 PM EST, my family was glued to the TV. No iPad. No computers. No distractions. Just us and the 1990’s Bulls. It was a blast to relive the “old days” (I can’t believe I can actually say that) and for the boys to be able to see REAL basketball. It’s safe to say…
