Michael Jordan’s reputation, or at least his reputation as a teammate and a person you’d want to be around, probably took a hit when The Last Dance came out. We’ve seen hints of it before, like during his induction into the Hall of Fame, where he still had some scores to settle.
There was never any denying the fire that drove Jordan. He wanted to win at gold, poker, pool, everything. At one point, the Bulls would not allow him to lift weights with the much stronger Horace Grant because they worried he’d injure himself trying to out-lift Grant.
