Former Bull Will Perdue talks Michael Jordan and sucker punches

Will Perdue doesn’t need to watch snippets and teasers of Michael Jordan throwing a punch at a teammate.

No, the former Bulls big man is good in that department, especially because he lived it.

ESPN’s “The Last Dance’’ has already made it very known that this Sunday’s Episodes 7 and 8 include Jordan punching former teammate Steve Kerr in the face.

But years before the former outside shooting specialist tasted Jordan knuckles in a Bulls practice, it’s been well known that Perdue feasted on them in similar fashion.

As Perdue tells it, the big man was just following orders from former assistant/defensive coach Johnny Bach and head coach Phil Jackson.
