JAKARTA - Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of the many athletes who admire the confrontational leadership style of Chicago Bulls legend, Michael Jordan.
ESPN's documentary series The Last Dance, which covers the 1997-98 Bulls team, sheds light on Jordan's treatment of his teammates in one of the final episodes.
Jordan reveals how he faced current Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr during training. It was then she used the power of love to try and persuade Scott Burrell's best.
"Victory has a price and leadership has a price," Jordan said at the end of episode seven.
"I attract people when they don't want to be drawn. I challenge people when they don't want to be challenged.
"I got that right because my team-mates came after me. They didn't endure everything I went through.
"Once you join the team, you live by a certain standard that I play, and I wouldn't take anything that was lacking."
Those words shocked stubborn striker Ibrahimovic.
"I love watching The Last Dance," he wrote on Twitter.
"Now you see how to play with a winner. Whether you like it or not. If not then don't play."

Ibrahimovic is currently playing at AC Milan and has earned praise from head coach Stefano Pioli. The coach likens his work ethic to that of Roger Federer, 20 times grand slam winner.
However, the Swede is also known to be at odds with his former coach and team-mates.
During his time in MLS with LA Galaxy, Joao Pedro said Ibrahimovic threatened to 'kill' his teammates following the defeat to the Houston Dynamo.
Sebastian Lletget also said he was 'super frustrated' playing with Ibrahimovic on the Galaxy.
