As a smash-hit documentary of the Chicago Bulls 1990s dynasty captivates US sports television viewers, the NBA team has turned to Canadian Marc Eversley to revive its current fortunes.

The Bulls announced Friday that Eversley, formerly the Philadelphia 76ers vice president of player personnel, has been hired as the team’s new general manager.

“The Last Dance”, a 10-part film on Michael Jordan and the six NBA crowns he won with the Bulls, has set record US ratings figures with live sport shut down by the coronavirus pandemic.
