Horace Grant, who played with Michael Jordan, gave his unfiltered thoughts on The Last Dance documentary.
Michael Jordan is considered by many to be the greatest player in NBA history. However, as the 2010s came to an end, a new generation of fans had emerged, one that didn’t witness his prime years.
In 2020, while the NBA was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Michael Jordan’s team green-lit the release of The Last Dance docuseries, which chronicled Jordan’s career with the Chicago Bulls.
It was a behind-the-scenes look at Michael Jordan’s entire career, with input from several NBA luminaries and key figures, along with Jordan himself providing some rare comments on the time.
However, not everyone was happy with the way they were portrayed in the docuseries. In fact, Horace Grant recently shared his frustration.
Horace Grant surprised by negative editing on The Last Dance docuseries
Horace Grant was a guest on the ‘Gimme the Hot Sauce’ podcast recently. When discussing The Last Dance docuseries, Grant was irate.
He slammed the docuseries for how they portrayed the rest of the Bulls squad as incompetent, with Scottie Pippen’s portrayal in particular being quite unfair.
“Man, they cut that thing like slices. I mean, I’m sitting there. I could not believe it, to be honest.
“Yeah, to be transparent, I could not believe how much they cut it up and made the majority of us look incompetent…
“I think it was an unfair portrayal of one of the top 75 players in Scottie in that documentary.”
Horace Grant isn’t the only player to slam The Last Dance
The Last Dance upset several people who were featured in the docuseries. Scottie Pippen slammed Michael Jordan and the docuseries, stating that it was to make Jordan look good.
However, many tried dismissing Pippen’s feelings, suggesting that it stemmed from his recent personal issues with Jordan.
Isiah Thomas also slammed Jordan and The Last Dance, stating that he has since refused to be part of any other docuseries.
While Michael Jordan is an undoubtedly legendary figure, his seeming endorsement of The Last Dance has alienated him among his contemporaries.
