Michael Jordan's daughter didn't always know why her dad is one of the most famous people in the world.

Michael Jordan has always been one of the most famous athletes ever but thanks to "The Last Dance," he is getting even more attention than before. People are fascinated by his story and it is becoming clear that "The Last Dance" is one of the greatest sports docuseries of all time.
