B.J. Armstrong had an open window to the real Michael Jordan as one of his Chicago Bulls teammates for four-plus seasons. Like many others, Armstrong tuned in to watch the first episodes of “The Last Dance,” a 10-part docuseries focusing on the 1997-98 season and the Bulls' pursuit of a second three-peat.

While many were shocked by Jordan's ruthless competitiveness and the drama that took place during the first two episodes of the show's premiere on Sunday, Armstrong wasn't. There were some moments showing Jordan being harsh to teammates such as Ron Harper, Toni Kukoc and Scott Burrell, but this, apparently, “was nothing.”

“Let me be real candid here,” Armstrong told Tim Reynolds of The Associated Press. “If that is the worst you’ve seen, then you’ve never seen the Chicago Bulls before. That was nothing.”

There are eight more episodes that will trickle down in pairs throughout the next four Sundays, but if Armstrong's reaction is any indication, there will be a lot more tea to spill the rest of the way.

While he wasn't surprised about the rocky relationships between Bulls brass and Phil Jackson/Scottie Pippen, he was educated on how Jordan came up just like many others, a broke rookie who once only had $20 to his name. Jordan helped North Carolina win the NCAA title in 1982 and vowed to remain at school for the next three years, though he wound up declaring after his junior season.

“Think about that in today’s context, right?” said Armstrong, now an agent — noting how popular the one-and-dones are in today's game.

Every episode provides rich anecdotes and strong insight as to how Jordan was wired, perhaps in the most candid and vulnerable series made about him.

Even if Armstrong has yet to see the real drama get started, it's likely a bet that he will tune in every Sunday to see how the story unfolds.
