Former Chicago Bulls player Horace Grant lashed out at Michael Jordan on Tuesday, accusing the NBA legend of providing a skewed version of the truth in the hit documentary series “The Last Dance.”
In an interview with ESPN radio, Grant, who won three NBA championships playing alongside Jordan, said the acclaimed documentary had been edited to present Jordan in a favorable light.
“I would say it was entertaining, but we know, who was there as teammates, that about 90 percent of it was BS in terms of the realness of it,” Grant said. “It wasn’t real – because a lot of things (Jordan) said to some of his teammates, that his teammates went back at him.
“But all of that was kind of edited out of the documentary, if you want to call it a documentary.”
Grant saved his sharpest criticism for suggestions made by Jordan that he had been a key source for “The Jordan Rules,” a book that lifted the lid on the NBA great’s career.
“Lie, lie, lie,” Grant said of the allegation. “If MJ had a grudge with me, let’s settle this like men. Let’s talk about it. Or we can settle it another way.
“But yet and still, he goes out and puts this lie out that I was the source behind it.”
