Former Bulls player, though only for a year, is going viral after ‘The Last Dance’ highlighted his friendship with Michael Jordan. Jordan recently called Scott Burrell ‘Dennis Rodman…Jr.’ in the documentary. And Scott’s wife, Jeane Coakley took it in the best possible way and reacted to it with a tweet.

The 6-time NBA champion is has a great sense of humor as is evident in the docuseries. Michael and Scott are seen drinking on the plane in the video when Jordan mocks him for his non-stop partying. 

“This man never gets sleep. Dennis Rodman… Jr.,” Jordan said jokingly. Scott was asking to stop the recording because his parents were going to watch it.

“Hey don’t say that on camera yo,” Burrell said. “He never gets his sleep. Single man and he thinks he can hang out all night,” Jordan went on. “If he’s committed to one girl it’s a lie. It’s a lie. He’s out there every night.”

“Mom and dad, he’s an alcoholic” – Michael Jordan

Scott told MJ, “Do not put this on the tape.”  But of course, Jordan wasn’t going to listen to him. When Burrell requested Jordan that his mom and dad are going to watch the footage, Jordan didn’t care and deliberately replied, “Mom and dad, he’s an alcoholic.” 

It’s one of the funniest videos on the internet at the moment – Michael pulling Scott’s leg. Burrell’s wife is a journalist and took the comments sportingly. In fact, she went on to mock Scott on Twitter.

Burrell’s wife thoroughly enjoyed her husband’s part in the docuseries. Her tweets have been received well by ‘The Last Dance’ fans and some have been left surprised by her reaction.
