Jordan's teammate: "Lies, lies, lies"

Grant won three NBA titles with Michael Jordan. But the two basketball stars did not draw evenly, judging by "The Last Dance", which revolves around the Chicago Bull's heyday in the 90s in general and Jordan's glossy period in particular.

One notable sequence in the ten-hour Netflix series is about the book "The Jordan Rules", which broke down like a bomb when it was released.

The book contains stories from inside Chicago Bull's locker room - Michael Jordan is described as something of a tyrant - and in "The Last Dance", Jordan points out Grant as the source of the information.

- Plumbing, lying, lying. If "MJ" has something wrong with me then we should make up as men. Let's talk about it in that case. Or make it up in some other way. Instead, he throws out this lie that I should have been the one who leaked, says Horace Grant in an interview with ESPN radio.

Grant admits that he was and is a close friend of the book's author, Sam Smith. But what's happening in the locker room stays there, he says.

- I would never leave anything private from there, says Grant.

However, Michael Jordan was something of a bully to his teammates, is no secret, says today 54-year-old Horace Grant. He tells how the foremost basketball player of all time often walked on especially younger players both physically and verbally.

- He thought he could own me, but there he lost. Every time he walked on me, I walked on him. But it was heartbreaking to see such when it came to players like Will Perdue, Steve Kerr and youngster, Scott Burrell. To see someone, a leader, walk on those guys that way ...

"The Last Dance" is directed by Jason Hehir, but Jordan's own production company has always been involved in the process. The series is cut for Michael Jordan to appear in as good a day as possible, says Horace Grant.

- I would say it's entertaining. But we who were there, his teammates, know that about 90 percent of it is bullshit if you talk about how reality-based it is.
