“The Last Dance” documentary, which focused on the Bulls’ 1997-98 season, gave us such an assortment behind the scenes stories that not everything could make it.
Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan and Miami Heat president Pat Riley share mutual respect towards each other, and that’s despite the heated battles they had with one another back in the 1990s. Those battles also extended to off the court as well.
According to the documentary’s director, Jason Hehir, a savage moment between Michael Jordan and Riley didn’t make the cut on ESPN’s 10-part special. It went down in Hawaii around 1992 or 1993 when the then-Knicks head coach had booked himself a presidential suite as a resort, but found himself being kicked out by a manager to make way for a more important guest.
That VIP was Michael Jordan. Riley found out it was him while chilling at the pool and noticed Jordan waving at him from the balcony of the suite.
That is so cold blooded.
