Bill Murray doesnt want sports fans to forget the hero he was in the movie Space Jam.

Throughout the last several weeks, the sports world has been glued to the TV on Sunday nights for episodes of The Last Dance, ESPNs 10-part documentary about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dynasty during the 1990s. And the docuseries has included some behind-the-scenes moments with Jordan during the filming of Space Jam.

While a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live!on Wednesday, Murray said, from the comfort of his bathtub, of course hes been watching The Last Dance.

Ive actually seen myself, he said. There! Im in the background! Right there! Stop, play that back!'

But he jokingly explained he also felt slighted and didnt get the recognition he thought he deserved for his role in the fictional victory in the half-live-action, half-animated movie. Murray continued telling Kimmel:

People forget that I got the assist on the game-winning basket. So easily forgotten. I stole the ball. I made the pass. I got nothing. I wasnt even interviewed after. But that was a lot of fun making that.

Murray also spoke about how the cast would keep themselves occupied in their down time while shooting. He said sometimes theyd have 45 minutes to an hour to kill, so naturally, theyd go golfing.

He continued:

We would just go play golf for an hour, play three or four holes of golf with Larry Bird and Michael and myself. That was a lot of fun.
