It also contained interviews of many NBA players like Jordon, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Steve Kerr, Phil Jackson, etc. This Disney series made millions of fortunes as Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls are the two most iconic names in the history of the NBA, and anything surrounding them always made some noise.

Where did all the millions go if Michael Jordon skimmed $0 from his film?
Disney pictures made billions by streaming this film on their platform, and it was rumoured that Jordan must have earned a whooping $4 million from it. However, Michael Jordon did not even keep a single dollar for himself. People have always known him as an evil teammate, and he was vulgar to his fellow players on the court.
But outside the world of Basketball, he was as mellow as he could be. He never failed to return to the community that loved him so dearly and treated him respectfully. He donated all the money generated from this series for charity and kept nothing for himself, and before this, there were many instances where we have seen the NBA great being generous. One such instance was his partnership with numerous institutions such as Make-A-Wish, Special Olympics, the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, etc. Michael Jordon also pledged $100 million to eradicate racism from the community.
