History suggests that his gripe may have been justified as yet another story proves the ruthless and over-the-top ways of the 6x Finals MVP. In Sam Smith\u2019s controversial 1991 book\u00a0\u201c<em>The Jordan Rules<\/em>\u201d, the author narrated how MJ used to deny Grant access to food if he didn\u2019t play well.\u00a0The author also revealed how Bulls athletes used to visit and tell him about the harrowing tales related to Jordan. One such story involved the 4x MVP not allowing Horace Grant his share of food mid-flight,<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-wp.thesportsrush.com\/2024\/04\/05722aee-untitled-design-2024-04-15t194316.144.jpg?format=auto&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\" alt=\"&quot;He Doesn't Deserve To Eat&quot;: Why Michael Jordan Wouldn't Allow Horace Grant To Have Food At Times\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"article-content-block-2\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"blockquote\"><p><i>\u201cPlayers would come to me over the years and said, \u2018You know what he did?

In fact, in his \u2018The Last Dance\u2019 series, MJ alleged that Horace Grant was the one who leaked Bulls\u2019 inside info to the controversial author.

There are numerous tales about his teammates facing mistreatment.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Michael Jordan\u2019s daunting ways to win<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-6\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">For the former Bulls Ace, winning a title was everything. Hence, he wanted his troops to be ready to handle the playoff pressure. His methodology involved calling them names during practice and challenging their very being. In a CNBC article, Kathleen Elkins registered Steve Kerr, Will Perdue, and Bill Wennington\u2019s statements about the experience of playing with Jordan. While crediting MJ for his winning mentality, Perdue didn\u2019t hold back in describing his treatment,<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-7\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">\u201c<em>He was an a**hole. He was a je**. He crossed the line numerous times. But as time goes on, and you think back about what he was actually trying to accomplish, you were like,\u00a0<\/em><i><em>Yeah<\/em>, he was a hell of a teammate,\u201d\u00a0<\/i>Will Perdue stated.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-wp.thesportsrush.com\/2024\/04\/fe9ab6e0-usatsi_5431226-scaled.jpg?format=auto&amp;w=640&amp;q=75\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"443\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mandatory Credit: MPS-USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-8\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">During the end of one of the episodes of the docuseries, the 6x Finals MVP acknowledged his brutal methods of winning. However, he didn\u2019t show any regret as his approach wasn\u2019t for everyone and they could have refused to adhere to it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-9\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">\u201c<em>Like I don\u2019t have to do this.

In terms of attitude, Kobe Bryant also adopted MJ\u2019s mentality.
