NBA players react on Twitter to 'The Last Dance' premiere

The highly-anticipated release of The Last Dance had NBA Twitter in a frenzy on Monday, and the current players around the league were no exception.

ESPN released the first two episodes of the 10-part documentary which chronicles the 1997/98 Chicago Bulls team on their journey towards their second three-peat. The documentary features hours of unseen footage and behind-the-scenes stories of Michael Jordan's relentless pursuit of greatness.

For a generation of players who grew up idolising Jordan and the Bulls, The Last Dance is already off to an awesome start.
