The former Bulls power forward has been the most outspoken, and he’s disputed Jordan’s assertions in the doc that he leaked information to author Sam Smith for the 1992 book The Jordan Rules. «I didn’t contribute to that, and that was Horace,» Jordan says in The Last Dance. «He was telling everything that was happening within the group.» In the documentary, Grant says that he didn’t share information with Smith.
Calling into ESPN radio on Tuesday, Grant denied the allegation again and said that Jordan should talk to him if there’s an issue. «That is a downright, outright, completely lie,» he said. «As I stated, if MJ had a grudge with me, let’s settle it like men. Let’s talk about it.»
While he said that he is friends with Smith, Grant told ESPN Radio that he wouldn’t have shared personal information from the locker room.
