A drug-fueled Chicago Bulls party. Jerry Krause sure was unpopular. Here are the top takeaways from Michael Jordan's new documentary, TheLastDance
Pippen was underpaid – sixth-highest paid player on the Bulls and 122nd-highest paid in the league, according to the documentary. It’s partly why Krause eyed a rebuild. The Bulls also weren’t going to be able to pay everybody what they wanted,“I would love the opportunity to finish my career out in Chicago,” Pippen said after the 1997 Finals. “But if it don’t happen, I’ll just have to look elsewhere. I’m one the best players to ever play the game. I understand what my value is to this game.
“I was a fanatic basketball fan. … The first time I met him, he could hardly string three words together he was so shy,” Clinton said. Jordan's agent David Falk:"There was not one person alive, not coach Smith, not Rod Thorn, who drafted him, not one of the experts thought he would become what he became."
Former President Barack Obama:"When Michael first came to town, I didn't have money to buy tickets for a Bulls game, even the discount ones back in the day. I was pretty broke."

Regretful ‘The Last Dance’ Producers Realize They Probably Should’ve Tried To Interview Michael JordanBRISTOL, CT—Kicking themselves for spacing on what would have been an integral part of the documentary, the regretful producers of the ’98 Chicago Bulls documentary The Last Dance realized Friday they probably should have tried to interview Michael Jordan. “Fuck, I don’t know why we didn’t even think of this, he probably would have had some pretty good anecdotes to share about the season,” said producer Michael Tollin, who admitted that while asking Phil Jackson about what it was like to coach Toni Kukoc was interesting, he probably would have had some insight into the mindset of 14-time All-Star as well. “We have, like, 10 hours of Ron Harper and Luc Longley. Then someone told me they were excited about hearing from Jordan, and I was like, ‘Dammit, why didn’t I think of that?’ I shouldn’t have spent all that time trying to track down Obama—he didn’t know shit about what it was like inside the locker room.” At press time, Tollin was scrambling after the NBA threatened to sue him over unauthorized use of game footage.
