Chicago Bulls: Michael Jordan ‘snubbed’ Bush White House invitation in 1991

There was much controversy surrounding a topic that was highlighted in one of the two most recently released parts of the documentary series featuring the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls title team, “The Last Dance”. The discussion surrounding the political side of the career of Bulls all-time great shooting guard Michael Jordan, especially during a 1990 senator election in the state of North Carolina.

That political situation that MJ found himself in the spotlight for off-the-court involved the election between republican Jesse Helms and democrat Harvey Gantt. Jordan apparently didn’t back the senator choice that a lot of people wanted him to, and he mostly stayed out of having an opinion in that race from what was showed in The Last Dance.
