Every detail of Michael Jordan’s life is a gripping maze that no one before has ever been able to explore in depth. However, in the documentary series The Last Dance it is possible to know how he linked up with his peers and how ruthless he could be with them if he aimed to win ahead. It is not hidden, in its reflections it is justified and those who shared that stage in Chicago Bulls even accepted that it was part of the personality of MJ. But the real thing is that in the documentary his Majesty is stripped naked, he is shown miserable in his attitudes and when they press him on those accusations, he even ends up breaking and asks to cut the recording for a few minutes.
A goal was always ahead and it was for him. Nothing was going to stop him. Rivals were the perfect fuel: Gary Payton, Patrick Ewing, coach George Karl … So were his former teammates B.J Armstrong and Horace Grant. But it was even more cruel with those who shared equipment and the pressures that came down to Scott Burrell were excessive. He mocked, minimized, challenged, and even dismissed that he could do anything. Jordan explained that it was necessary to get the best out of his partner, he confesses that he wanted Burrell to react, but he never managed that bad attitude. On the contrary, he behaved like “a gentleman,” Scottie Pippen acknowledged. “He was pushing you to get to his level, but I don’t think Michael ever realized it was impossible to get to his level,” Burrell said.
In that relationship he exposed himself to MJ like never before and showed it with his most complex side: “If you entered the team you played by my standards and I was not going to accept anything different. Did that mean that I had to pressure you to do it? Then He did. If you ask my colleagues they can say ‘Micheal Jordan never asked you to do something he did not do’. When people see all this they will think ‘So Jordan was not good with his colleagues and he was a tyrant’ That is you because you never won anything. I wanted to win, but also that they win and be part. This is how I played basketball, that was my mentality. If you don’t want to play like this, don’t play like this, “MJ said and asked for a pause invaded by emotion.
But their shapes never seemed the most pleasant. Because Phil Jackson himself recognized that Jordan in training was aggressive and rude. Even, his partner Jud Buechler acknowledged that Jordan was so hateful that: “He was scared if aggressive to win. We, his teammates were afraid of him. The fear he got was overwhelming.” And Will Perdue was very clear: “Let’s say things as they are: he was a jerk, he was an imbecile. He went over the line many times. But as time goes by and you think about what he did to achieve what we achieved, in You actually think, ‘He was a great teammate. “
The stories even brought him face to face with Steve Kerr. They were teammates and in one practice they faced each other so hard, Jordan insulted his partner so much that it ended everything to the blows. Kerr punched Jordan in the stomach and MJ hit him in the eye. Phil Jacksomn kicked out practice and the Bulls’ 23, who later apologized to Kerr. From there the relationship between them grew like never before.
For Scottie Pippen the look was a little different than most and he even believed that Jordan was necessary: ”I needed him to be the bad guy, the tough guy.” While Phil Jackson accepted that he had to deal with that MJ personality: “Many times I had to talk to him to lower his anxiety, his dealings and explain that he should behave like a true captain.”
A Jordan less God and more villain. Your Majesty in the most voracious state. A legend that was also built with these attitudes. A personages who managed to convince and who even manages to put anyone on their side.
