The Last Dance Episodes 7 and 8: Michael Jordan punched Steve Kerr during Bulls' 1995 training camp

The Last Dance episodes 7 and 8 will show a scene from the Bulls' 1995 training camp. During the scrimmage, Jordan apparently started trash-talking Kerr. Kerr talked back to Jordan, which resulted in the Bulls legend punching him in the face. In a 2016 interview, Kerr revealed that he had started 'talking back' to Jordan, which he was sure no one else had done before. He knew he could not make a physical impact, but he vaguely remembers throwing an elbow at Jordan to get off him. Jordan, however, still kept talking. Jordan gave Kerr a 'forearm shiver', which he returned. Kerr then added that Jordan then came 'after' him. 

During an appearance on NBA on TNT, Kerr revealed that while he does not recommend it to anyone, it definitely helped their rapport. He recalled the intensity of practices back then and how that has changed now. He looks at their fight as a test from Jordan, which he passed, after which the NBA legend only tested him more. The episode will provide more insight into their fight as both Jordan and Kerr's interviews will be featured.
