When the Last Dance documentary came out, the world got to know some untold stories about the Bulls. It showcased the journey of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls and their wild stories in the show. But when the show came out, it robbed a seven-time All-Star of his cool Dennis Rodman story.

The Last Dance highlighted the last season of the Bulls’ dynasty and the challenges they faced throughout the season. It also featured stories about Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and other stars from their earlier years. It also featured some wild and unheard stories about the legends.

One of them includes a crazy story about Dennis Rodman. The Worm had joined the Bulls in 1995 and had found great success. The Bulls won three titles with Rodman and he had a huge part to play in the title runs. He also had a wild story which Jordan narrated in the doc. And this ruined seven-time All-Star Blake Griffin‘s “cool” story.

Griffin said, “For so long, that was my go-to. People like, ‘What’s Jordan like?’ And I’m like, ‘I got something cool, and here is this story.’ And I would give them this Dennis Rodman story. And then as he started to tell this story during The Last Dance… I was like, ‘I don’t have a cool story anymore.'” He added, “Now, I’ve got to think of something else.”
