Former Chicago Bulls player Horace Grant has come out swinging against Michael Jordan, accusing the NBA legend of presenting a biased version of the truth in the hit documentary series 'The Last Dance'. The documentary, which was made with the involvement of Jordan's own production company, has been praised for its behind-the-scenes look at the Bulls' 1997-1998 season, but Grant claims that it has been edited to present Jordan in a favorable light.
Grant, who won three NBA championships playing alongside Jordan, made his comments in an interview with ESPN radio. He claimed that around 90% of the documentary is 'BS' and that many of the stories presented in the series are not entirely accurate.
Grant was particularly critical of Jordan's suggestion that he was a key source for 'The Jordan Rules', a book that lifted the lid on the NBA great's career. Grant denied the allegation, saying 'Lie, lie, lie' and accusing Jordan of being dishonest.
Grant also criticized Jordan's conduct as a player, accusing him of being physically and verbally abusive to younger members of the Bulls' dressing room. He claimed that Jordan would often intimidate and bully his teammates, and that he had refused to be intimidated by Jordan himself.
Grant's comments are a significant blow to Jordan's reputation, and are likely to spark a lot of debate and discussion in the basketball world. The documentary 'The Last Dance' has been widely praised for its behind-the-scenes look at the Bulls' 1997-1998 season, but Grant's comments suggest that it may not be entirely accurate.
