- The Last Dance: Horace Grant's slit on Michael Jordan
Horace Grant explained this week in an interview with 'ESPN Radio' the pressures that Michael Jordan put under the young players of the Chicago Bulls . "It was difficult to see," acknowledged the player, who left the franchise after the third ring to try to seek glory in Orlando.
That character of Jordan in training stars in some moments of 'The Last Dance', the ESPN and Netflix documentary that has conditioned all these weeks while basketball has been absent. Scott Burrell, Steve Kerr or Will Perdue were some of the 'victims' of that Jordan 'trash-talk', when he tried, pressuring and insulting them, to get the best out of them.
One of those who suffered it was former Boston Celtics player Robert Parish , an NBA champion who came to Chicago to play for the Bulls during the 96-97 season, aged 43. " I'm going to kick your ass ," Jordan told him in training. "No, you won't," Parish replied, facing him. "I told him that I was not in love with him like the others, he replied that he was going to kick my ass and I stepped forward. After that it didn't bother me anymore," said the former player on the 'Locked on Celtics' podcast. '.
"Michael has a habit of testing his teammates, especially those who are new to the team. I think it's more of a test than a threat . He was testing me, seeing how I reacted to him being an abuser," added.
