Michael Jordan was already one legendary meme before “The Last Dance” starting airing on ESPN. Now each week it seems like his reactions to things on the show are quickly catching up to the “Crying Jordan” meme.
Jordan’s latest perfect reaction came during Sunday night’s second episode. The producer gave him a tablet to watch as Gary Payton explained how he shut down Jordan in Game 4 of the 1996 NBA Finals and things would have been different if he had covered Jordan for the first three games of the series, which were all wins for the Bulls.
Jordan found that claim to be very funny:
Gary Payton: I wore down Michael Jordan
