As the docuseries 'The Last Dance', comes to an end, Horace Grant had a few things to say about it.
Though the 10-part documentary reinforced the greatness of Michael Jordan for some, it left a bad taste for Grant.
Jordan accused Grant of leaking the information that was then written into Sam Smith's "The Jordan Rules" book. In a radio interview with Kap and Co. on ESPN 1000 in Chicago on Tuesday, Grant said it "is a downright, outright, completely lie".
“Lie, lie, lie. … 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 [the book]. Sam and I have always been great friends. We’re still great friends. But the sanctity of that locker room, I would never put anything personal out there. The mere fact that Sam Smith was an investigative reporter. That he had to have two sources, two, to write a book, I guess. Why would MJ just point me out?
“It’s only a grudge, man. I’m telling you, it was only a grudge. And I think he proved that during this so-called documentary. When if you say something about him, he’s going to cut you off, he’s going to try to destroy your character.”
Grant believes the documentary had a large bias and was heavily edited by Jordan, calling it a piece of fiction.
“I would say [it was] entertaining, but we know, who was there as teammates, that about 90 percent of it — I don’t know if I can say it on air, but B.S. in terms of the realness of it. 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 isn't the only one displeased with the contents of the documentary, apparently, Scottie Pippen is also upset although he hasn't spoken publicly about it.
