The Michael Jordan 'cocaine circus' comments made headlines immediately after the first episode of The Last Dance released two weeks ago. The NBA legend was quoted as saying, "I had one event, preseason, I think we were in Peoria. It was in the hotel, so I'm trying to find my teammates. I started knocking on doors. I get to this one door, and I knock on the door and I can hear someone says, 'Shhhh...someone's outside.' And then you hear this deep voice say, 'Who is it?' I say, 'MJ.' And then they all say, 'Aw, he's just a rookie, don't worry about it. They open up the door. I walk in and practically the whole team was in there. And it was, like, things I've never seen in my life as a young kid. You got your lines over here, your weed smokers over here, you've got your women over here."
