“Absolutely”, she said. “Uncle Scottie (Pippen), uncle Charles (Barkley), uncle Oak (Charles Oakley), uncle Ron (Harper)… like they used to all come over to the house during holidays and just hang out and kick it. So it’s incredible to see this perspective of them as well cause I’m just used to them being these jokesters. Funny and giggling and just crazy and then seeing them in like go-mode, grind and just, ‘Yo I’m focused’, it’s incredible.”
“I’m like, ‘Most of you guys are softies in real life’, we didn’t know this is the kind of personality you had so it’s definitely crazy to see them but they are all like family,” she concluded.
Seeing the docuseries was as eye-opening for Jasmine as it was for the rest of the world. She was only a young girl when her father was making history. Getting a vivid vision of her father and the success of the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s must have been a wonderful experience.
