Horace Grant Slams Michael Jordan, Accusing 'The Last Dance' of Fabricating Truths

In a candid and fiery interview, former Chicago Bulls forward Horace Grant unleashed a torrent of criticism against his legendary teammate Michael Jordan, specifically targeting Jordan's portrayal in the highly acclaimed documentary, 'The Last Dance'. Grant's outspoken comments reignited a decades-old rivalry, accusing Jordan of deliberately twisting facts to fit his own narrative and settle old scores.

Grant, a pivotal member of the Bulls' first three-peat championship teams, expressed deep disappointment and anger over what he perceived as a blatant character assassination.

He stated unequivocally that 'The Last Dance' was largely edited to present Jordan in the most favorable light, at the expense of his former teammates.

The most contentious point of Grant's critique centered on the documentary's insinuation that he was the primary source for Sam Smith's controversial 1992 book, 'The Jordan Rules'.

This explosive tell-all book offered an unfiltered, often unflattering, look at Jordan's domineering personality and his relationships with teammates. Grant vehemently denied these allegations, calling them a "flat-out lie" and accusing Jordan of holding a long-standing grudge.

“My point is, he called me a snitch, but if you go back to that time, and the book, that came out about the Jordan Rules, you said, Horace Grant was the guy.

I said ‘No, this is a flat-out lie.’ And he proved that he was lying by saying that if you say something in the locker room, it’s supposed to stay in the locker room. But if you’re speaking about me on the documentary, that’s not keeping it in the locker room,” Grant explained, highlighting the hypocrisy he saw in Jordan's statements.

Grant’s remarks suggest that Jordan used the platform of 'The Last Dance' to settle personal vendettas, especially regarding the 'Jordan Rules' controversy.

He believes that Jordan fabricated the claim about him being the leak to protect his own image and to control the narrative presented in the documentary.

The former Bulls star further challenged the authenticity of the documentary itself, suggesting that much of the content was manipulated. He claimed that players were not allowed to tell their full stories, and that the narrative was heavily biased towards Jordan's perspective.
