Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and Michael Jordan
Scottie Pippen’s undying hate towards Michael Jordan is not something no one knows about. He has gone to almost every platform that he had access to, to proclaim his disgust for the former Chicago Bulls legend. Things have become much worse ever since then leaving their relationship almost irreconcilable for the foreseeable future.
For one, the GOAT debate has been something Scottie Pippen’s ex-partner in crime was heavily involved in since the beginning of his championship days. And it seems like the former “best defender of the league” has removed Airness from the conversation completely. Pippen threw massive shade on Mike by calling him the best scorer ever but not the greatest player ever.
He said, “Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to ever play in the game. But I may go as far as to say that LeBron James may be the greatest player that ever played the game because he’s so potent offensively that not only can he score at will but he keeps everybody involved.” Note that this interview took place much before their relationship took a turn for the worse.
Scottie Pippen went on to heavily appreciate LeBron James’ defensive skills. It seemed as if the former 6x NBA Champion tried to attack Jordan in every way possible that is close to his heart. As far as the GOAT debate goes, James is very close yet extremely far from being on the same level as Michael Jordan. MJ’s name standouts so much that it almost is a sin to compare him with anybody else in the sports industry.
Scottie Pippen’s undying hate for Michael Jordan started with “The Last Dance”
Jordan released his documentary series called “The Last Dance” which captured the final season the Bulls dynasty won a championship together. The 1997-1998 season was the last time both of these players including Dennis Rodman played together. But according to Scottie Pippen, Jordan apparently took all the credit to himself for the Bulls’ three-peat.
Pippen did not appreciate how the story of the Bulls was portrayed in the documentary. He felt that it was a publicity stunt executed by Michael. To add fuel to the fire, Pippen’s ex-wife Larsa is currently with Jordan’s eldest son Marcus. The entire situation surrounding these two individuals has been very controversial lately. Who is the know what happens next in this saga?
