It was the scene that Scott Burrell probably dreaded for 22 years, and on Sunday, the world saw it.
The end of Episode 4 of The Last Dance featured Michael Jordan joking with his former Bulls teammate Burrell on the team plane. And it was amazing.
Jordan was going at Burrell for his antics on the road, calling him “Dennis Rodman … Junior.” Even as Burrell begged — like, really, begged! — Jordan to stop talking about those things on camera, Jordan continued:
“He never gets his sleep. Single man, and he thinks he can hang out all night … If he committed to one girl, it’s a lie. He’s out every night.”
As fans saw this scene, many wanted to know what Burrell’s wife, SNY reporter Jeane Coakley, thought about the scene. Was Burrell really about to regret that they put MJ’s roasting on tape? Fans needed to know.
It turned out that Coakley enjoyed the scene as much as we did. Plus, Coakley was a teenager in high school when that conversation took place. They didn’t meet and get married until recently.
Burrell had nothing to worry about.
