CHICAGO (UNITED STATES) – Michael Jordan's popularity skyrockets after the hit Netflix series " The Last Dance ".
The series about the ex- Chicago Bulls player was the most watched ever in Italy on Netflix.
"The Last Dance" also managed to beat the now famous " Paper House ".
Thanks to the hype aroused by this series, " As " drew an old interview released by Jordan to "Playboy" to show that he also has a weak point.
Michael Jordan is terrified of water.
The same former Chicago Bulls champion explained it to Playboy in 1992 .
Michael Jordan's statements are reported by corrieredellosport.it.
“I had gone swimming with a friend – Jordan's words – we were floating in the waves when a huge wave came, which dragged him away.
He grabbed me.
It was a very strong hold.
They call the grip of death the way someone who grabs you is going to die grabs you.
I almost had to break his hand because he was dragging me with him.
He died and I haven't been in the water since.
I was seven or eight years old.
Now I don't even get close to the water.
I don't swim, I don't get along with water.
I don't get on the boat if I don't have a life jacket and I don't go on small boats.
I don't give a damn what you know.
Everyone has a phobia, mine is water ".
