Scott Burrell remains amused when watching Michael Jordan's trash talking on 'The Last Dance' Chicago Bulls documentary.
’s former teammate has loved the punchlines. Scott Burrell still enjoys them, even if they often came at his expense.
“I never took it as him being cruel or him being evil. People talk junk to each other playing basketball all the time,” Burrell told USA TODAY Sports. “He never physically touched me. So he said some words. Why should words hurt me? I’m an adult. I’m learning every time I step on the court. I’m being pushed like I’ve never been pushed before. I needed that.”A defiant Jordan explained “my mentality was to go out and win at any cost.
Burrell and his family viewed those clips as if they were watching a sitcom. He added he accepted Jordan’s critiques “100 percent” because of his championship experience, talent and work ethic.
