• The Last Dance. The last ring of the Jordan Bulls, the possible fault and Andrés Montes: "Jordan has stolen it!"

Michael Jordan's first withdrawal is one of the great unknowns of his career. In it, according to the player himself, they had to do with the lack of motivation after winning three consecutive titles and the death of his father, a circumstance that encouraged him to fulfill his childhood dream of playing baseball .

But in that 'see you later' of 1993 there are many theories, including the famous (and supposed) secret suspension of the NBA for its continued fondness for betting. In addition, at the beginning of the 90s, the publication of the book ' The Jordan Rules ' by journalist Sam Smith revolutionized the appearance that one had about Jordan, brought to light the relationship and the excessive character that he drew with his colleagues and made him I turned my back on the press and the spotlights for several years.

In ' The Last Dance ', the ESPN and Netflix documentary that aired its last two episodes on Monday, Jordan says it was his partner Horace Grant who told Smith everything that happened in training. On the show Grant speaks on a multitude of occasions, but none is to attack Jordan or defend himself against his accusations, or at least that is what has been shown.

Now, after the fans have seen the documentary, Grant has wanted to clarify several of the issues that he stars in the documentary, defending himself against the accusations of "sneak " and ensuring that they have erased any criticism of Jordan from the final edition. " Lie, lie, lie, " he replies, asked on the station ' ESPN 100 ' about whether he was the one who leaked the information for the book. "If he has a grudge, let's fix this as men. Sam and I are great friends, but I would never talk about what happens in a locker room. He says that I was the sneak, but now, 35 years later, he is the one who says that in his rookie year he walked into a room and saw cocaine, women, and marijuana . Why did he want to remember that? What did that have to do with anything else? If you call someone a sneak, there you have a sneak. "

Grant also claims that they cut many of his responses: " It is all spite , and he showed it in the documentary. If you say something bad about him, he will cut you and he will try to destroy you. 90% of what is said is shit if you compare it to reality, because there are many things that Jordan said about his teammates, that they responded and have been deleted from the final edition of the documentary . "

On the documentary, Jordan's former partner admits that " it is not a documentary ." "When a documentary is about a person, and that person has the last word on what is going to appear in the video ... It is no longer a documentary. It is a narration of what counts. Many things were edited and cut."

Grant also mentions fighting in training and admits he was very surprised by how badly Scottie Pippen is treated in some episodes of the documentary. "About the migraine, about calling him selfish when he didn't want to leave with 1.8 seconds left of that game against the Knicks ... I had never seen this in my life. Later, in '98, during the Finals, Pippen almost He couldn't walk because of the back pain and he did everything possible to help the team. And what I'm saying is, why do you get the 1.8-second thing in the documentary? "he asks. "Michael wasn't even on the team. We fixed it between us, and pretty well. Pippen knew he had done it wrong and we fixed it. And it's over. Why does Jordan remember it? "

About training, "Jordan felt he could control me, but he was wrong. Because whenever he went against me, I turned against him. But Perdue, Kerr or young Burrell ... That was difficult to see . See a guy, a a leader, go up against those guys the way he was going. I understand that in terms of training, that you have to put pressure on people, but insult, hit ... That was not right. "
