Michael Jordan really put Scott Burrell on blast. At the end of Episode 4 of The Last Dance, Michael Jordan joked with his former Bulls teammate Burrell on the team plane about his partying antics while they were on the road.
Clearly, Burrell didn’t want any of that to get out. He literally begged Mike to chill. Did Jordan chill? Absolutely not. In fact, he leaned all the way in and called that man “Dennis Rodman Junior.” Sick.
As funny as it was, it was also clearly embarrassing for Burrell. One of his biggest worries was that his parents would see all the trash Jordan was talking. “My mom and dad are going to watch this, M,” he said to Jordan while being recorded.
It’s all good, though. Burrell got ahead of it. Knowing that this would come out at some point, he told his parents about MJ clowning him on the team plane for his party life.
“I warned my parents about that part was going to be in the movie. So, I knew that part was coming. And someone told me it was going to come in today’s film so I was like “oh boy, when’s it coming.”
Did it work? Probably. I mean, it was 22 years ago after all. He’s clearly no longer wilding out like he once was.
Plus, it’s going over fine in his household. His wife popping jokes on Twitter now because of it. Seems like a clear W to me.
