The Chicago Bulls were arguably the most iconic team in the NBA. As it will take years for a team to surpass its legacy, they are still one of the most talked about teams in the NBA. The 2020 release of The Last Dance documentary featuring Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls has also increased interest. With stories ranging from MJ and Scottie Pippen’s feud to Rodman’s antics, some might have had enough. A former NBA champion reiterated the same feelings as he refused to go on podcasts for interviews.

MJ and Pippen’s former teammate, Ron Harper recently tweeted out his disinterest in being a part of youtube podcasts. When a fan asked if it was due to a particular reason, Harper decided to answer in his own style.

Many former NBA players decided, and rightly so, to keep their lives private. MJ is a great example as there was hardly any sort of insight into his life before the documentary. Harper seems to be just one of them who’d rather talk about his five championship rings than others.

There has been a norm of squeezing out interesting tales about other NBA legends from their teammates. Harper sarcastically pointed it out by mentioning how his stories are better suited for his golf buddies.

Everyone does want to hear about Jordan, mostly because he has kept his private life close to his heart. The insight gives fans joy but Harper refused to be a tool for it.
