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.
The Last Dance ruined Griffin’s ‘cool’ Dennis Rodman story
In an episode in the documentary, Jordan tells a story where Rodman leaves the team in the middle of the season. Rodman left the Bulls after he got permission to go on vacation from Phil Jackson. He would go on to the party and go to Las Vegas and would also appear in WWE.
Griffin who was a Jordan athlete knew about this story long before it came out in the doc. He had learned about this when he met Jordan a couple of times and he would go around telling a cool story about Rodman. But since the doc came out, the entire world got to know about it.

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.”
