Squad Of Editors Earn Emmy Recognition For Hit ESPN Hoop Series ‘The Last Dance’
Matthew Carey Devin Concannon isn’t a basketball player, but he has likely studied more film of Michael Jordan than any MJ opponent ever did—just about every graceful jumper that “twished” the net and every propulsive drive through the lane. His purpose wasn’t to size up Jordan’s game for a possible contest of 1-on-1, but to capture the quintessence of the man many consider the greatest NBA player of all time for the 10-part documentary series The Last Dance.Concannon and fellow editors Chad Beck, Abhay Sofsky and Ben Sozanski not only scoured footage of Jordan on court, but key moments off of it to tell the definitive story of his run at a sixth NBA championship with the Chicago Bulls in his final season of 1997-98.
