Grant calls MJ a liar for labeling him as source behind 'The Jordan Rules' - theScore

Horace Grant has accused former teammate Michael Jordan of lying during "The Last Dance" docuseries after the Chicago Bulls legend called him the source behind Sam Smith's book, "The Jordan Rules."

"That is a downright, outright, complete lie. Lie, lie, lie," Grant said Tuesday during a radio interview with Kap and Co. on ESPN 100, according to ESPN's Nick Friedell.

"If MJ had a grudge with me, let's settle this like men," Grant added. "Let's talk about it, or we can settle it another way. But yet, and still, he goes out and puts this lie out that I was the source behind (the book).

"Sam and I have always been great friends. We're still great friends. But the sanctity of that locker room, I would never put anything personal out there."

Smith's book provided a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of the Bulls' locker room during their 1990-91 championship season. His negative portrayal of Jordan - which included him detailing clashes he had with teammates - stirred up controversy at the time.

Grant also called Jordan a hypocrite for naming him as the book's source while referencing some of the Hall of Famer's friendships that have soured in recent years because of grudges he holds.

"Charles Barkley, they've been friends for over 20, 30 years. And he said something about Michael's management with the Charlotte Bobcats or the Charlotte Hornets, and then they haven't spoken since then. And my point is, he said that I was the snitch, but yet, still, after 35 years, he brings up his rookie year going into one of his teammate's rooms and seeing coke and weed and women," Grant said. "My point is: Why the hell did he want to bring that up? What's that got to do with anything? I mean, if you want to call somebody a snitch, that's a damn snitch right there."

Grant, who won three championships with Jordan from 1991 to 1993, also said "The Last Dance" was 90% "B.S." and questioned whether it should even be considered a documentary.

"When that so-called documentary is about one person, basically, and he has the last word on what's going to be put out there ... it's not a documentary," Grant said. "It's his narrative of what happens in the last, quote-unquote, dance. That's not a documentary because a whole bunch of things was cut out, edited out."
