Notable series "The Last Dance" is about the Chicago Bulls basketball team and especially Michael Jordan, perhaps the most well-known basketball player of all time.

In the first episode, Jordan opens up about the first time in the NBA, including a moment that stood out.

Jordan joined the club in 1984 and the documentary describes that the team at that time had many "party prices" and that drugs, such as cocaine, were common.

In a newspaper article quoted in the series, they are called "Bull's Traveling Cocaine Circus".

"The guys were doing things I didn't see," says Jordan.

He especially talks about a situation in the pre-season when he was looking for his teammates at a hotel.

Eventually he found the right door, explained who he was and was admitted.

- They said "Damn, he's just a rookie, it's quiet". So I opened the door and almost the whole team was there. I had never seen anything like it in my entire life. There were cocaine, marijuana, women. I immediately said that "I'm leaving" because I thought if it was going to be a raid I would have been just as guilty as everyone else in the room. After that event, I kept to myself most, Jordan says.

- I liked playing cards and watching movies, I didn't go to clubs. I do not smoke, do not use cocaine and at that time I did not even drink. I just wanted to rest and play basketball.
