Horace Grant calls Michael Jordan a liar during 'The Last Dance'
Weeks after The Last Dance aired during the pandemic, there were quite a few controversies on how the documentary was delivered. Especially to the teammates of Michael Jordan, painting them on a bad light. One of them was Horace Grant, whom Jordan accused was the source behind Sam Smith's controversial book "The Jordan Rules."
"That is a downright, outright, completely lie. Lie, lie, lie," emphasized Grant.
The NBA veteran questioned Jordan's motives in singling him out. Pointing to the stringent journalistic standards that required multiple sources for Smith's book.
Moreover, Grant didn't shy away from highlighting what he perceived as Jordan's vindictive nature. Citing instances where Jordan severed ties with individuals who criticized him.
"It's only a grudge man, and I think he proved that during the so-called documentary. If you say something about him, he's gonna cut you off, he's gonna try to destroy your character," said Grant.
He also questioned Michael Jordan's intentions in revisiting past controversies. Such as his rookie year experiences with drugs and women, suggesting it was irrelevant to the discussion at hand.
In essence, Grant's remarks cast a shadow on Jordan's integrity, challenging the narrative portrayed in 'The Last Dance' and prompting a reevaluation of the dynamics within the Bulls' dynasty.
