        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ESPN&#8217;s &#8220;The Last Dance&#8221; has focused nearly as much on the <strong>Chicago Bulls&#8217; off-court antics</strong> as their on-court play. Dennis Rodman&#8217;s lifestyle was the main subject of <strong>last Sunday&#8217;s episode</strong>, but he wasn&#8217;t the only one to have his hard-partying antics exposed: another brief moment touched on Scott Burrell.</p><p>In a scene from the team plane in 1998, Michael Jordan was caught teasing the former Bulls small forward for his own drinking habits, calling him &#8220;Dennis Rodman Jr.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;He never gets sleep,&#8221; Jordan said of Burrell. &#8220;Single man, and he thinks he can hang out all night.&#8221;</p><p>In the scene, Burrell is visibly shy of the camera, fearing his parents will eventually see the footage. But Jordan didn&#8217;t back down. &#8220;Mom, dad, he&#8217;s an alcoholic,&#8221; Jordan said.</p><p>Following the show, Burrell, now the head basketball coach at Southern Connecticut State University, <strong>joined CBS Sports HQ</strong> to talk about the episode. He said that twenty years later, he still felt he had to get ahead of the scene before it aired.</p><p>&#8220;I warned my parents about that part,&#8221; Burrell said. &#8220;I knew that part was coming and someone told that it was coming in tonight&#8217;s episode. So I was like &#8216;when it&#8217;s coming?&#8217; So I&#8217;m sitting on the couch watching with my wife and I was like &#8216;what is she going think? What are her parents going to think?&#8217; But you know what, it was 20-something years ago, so it&#8217;s a different way of life.&#8221;</p><p>His wife Jeane Coakley, currently an anchor at SNY, appeared to have no problems with the scene.</p><p>&#8220;I was more upset that Michael didn&#8217;t give him a dang hug,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/SNYtv/status/1255271187275550724">Coakley said on SNY</a>.</p><p>She also tweeted through much of the episode, <a href="https://twitter.com/JeaneCoakley/status/1254609714199093249" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">at one point saying</a>, &#8220;I was in high school when &#8216;Baby Rodman&#8217; was at his peak,&#8221; followed by a laughing emoji.</p>]]></content:encoded>
