John Wozniak and his relationship with Michael Jordan One of the most irreverent characters of "The last Dance"
"The Last Dance" gave everyone the opportunity to get to know the real Michael Jordan. It was not, however, only a historical cross-section on his iconic figure, but he gave way to the whole world to see and understand what it meant to be next to a legend. Next to the legend of MJ there was often John Michael Wozniak, one of the funniest security men who during the sixth episode challenges Michael and wins a bet. In the last few hours Complex has resumed an interview of his dated October 2016, in which Wozniak retraces his moments and his relationship with Jordan.
Joining Jordan's security may be a privilege, but at the same time it is a task of extreme responsibility. Wozniak's story begins in the 1970s, when he becomes a policeman from the Chicago district. He becomes "famous" above all thanks to a photo by John Biever of Sports Illustrated. It was May 5, 1992 and Michael Jordan, surrounded by security dressed in the classic yellow jacket, the same that years later will end up in a Jordan Brand collection, comes out of his black Ferrari Testarossa - license plate "M Air J".
Unfortunately Wozniak died last January, exhausted from the fight against cancer. He was just 69 years old and a myriad of stories still to be told. Perhaps also for this reason, during the editing stages, Jordan may have insisted that "The Last Dance" appear on more than one occasion.
