ESPN's "The Last Dance" has been a godsend for sports fans stuck at home during the coronavirus pandemic. Viewers were given a treat this past Sunday, as the documentary series covered the 1992 Dream Team, led by Michael Jordan. After the team won Olympic gold against Croatia, Jordan was caught in a bit of controversy.

The United States Olympic team was sponsored by Reebok, but Jordan had a multi-million dollar endorsement deal with Nike. Jordan was against wearing the Reebok jacket while accepting his gold medal, but Executive Director of the team, Harvey Schiller, demanded that he wear it or else he wouldn't be able to obtain his award. That led to Jordan calling Schiller a "d---." (Hint: it's a nickname for Richard).

Following the airing of the Episode 5, Schiller replied with a verbal jab on Twitter.

Schiller from the top rope! This really has us thinking: does Jordan still have his Olympic jacket in his home? We need answers!

The best part about this? Jordan found a loophole. While accepting his gold medal, he had an American flag draped across his right shoulder, which effectively covered the Reebok logo. A genius move by "His Airness."

This docu-series has shown that Jordan is never afraid to speak his mind. And it seems the same goes for Schiller, who's not afraid to fire back at any criticism.
