When The Last Dance<\/a><\/em> documentary<\/a> series starts airing on ESPN in a few weeks, we'll see a side of the Chicago Bulls never seen before. For a clue what viewers might expect, you can go back to 1995 when a fight between Michael Jordan and teammate Steve Kerr broke out in practice. New details have emerged about the incident that made sports headlines and provided a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the team, Jordan's ultra-competitive nature, and how he demanded the same of his teammates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After taking an almost two-year hiatus from basketball, including a stint in minor-league baseball, Michael Jordan announced his return<\/a> to basketball in March 1995. He had one goal in mind that season: another NBA championship. Despite the team hovering around the .500 mark most of the season, Jordan believed his offense and leadership would be able to push the team to another title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His return made an immediate impact. In the 17 games he played during the final stretch of the season, Jordan averaged 26.9 points per game. The Bulls won 13 of the 17 games and made the playoffs. Jordan was pleased but he wasn't satisfied. He wanted more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan made his intentions clear that first game of the playoffs against Charlotte, lighting up the Hornets for 48 points. The Bulls won the series 3-1 and advanced to face Shaquille O'Neal<\/a> and the Orlando Magic in the next round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Eastern Conference Finals, Jordan and the Bulls battled, but it wasn't enough and the Magic won the series in six games. Jordan had been denied. And he wasn't happy. Jordan's foul mood from that season's final result lingered into the following year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
