“Like walking on eggshells” – Scottie Pippen sheds lights on FEAR Michael Jordan caused amongst Bulls teammates

Scottie Maurice Pippen Sr., who played 17 seasons in the NBA and achieved six championships with the Chicago Bulls while collaborating with Michael Jordan, has recently garnered attention for his remarks on the Bulls’ team dynamics. Additionally, his well-established strained relationship with Michael Jordan is already widely recognized.

Despite being regarded as the best NBA player ever and leading the Bulls to NBA glory, Michael Jordan never maintained a smooth relationship with his teammates. Pippen claims that tension existed in the Bulls’ roster during their NBA glory days, primarily attributed to the presence of Michael Jordan. This could be a probable reason why the trio of Dennis Rodman, Scottie, and Jordan never got along.

Scottie asserts that teammates feared Jordan and were walking on eggshells due to Jordan’s superstardom. Additionally, Pippen has previously made outrageous comments about MJ.

I've seen Michael Jordan play before I came to the Bulls. He was a horrible player. He was horrible to play with. He was all 1-on-1, shooting bad shots

Long-standing tension between Scottie and MJ was evident in Jordan’s award-winning documentary series, “The Last Dance.” Furthermore, it adds to the complex dynamics that Jordan’s son, Marcus, is in a relationship with Pippen’s ex-wife, Larsa.

Michael Jordan’s records in perspective

Drafted as the 3rd overall pick by the Chicago Bulls in the 1984 NBA draft, Michael Jordan, was the greatest all-round player in the history of the NBA. He became a popular folklore for the league during his time with the Bulls.

Michael Jordan is a six-time NBA champion, secured six NBA Finals MVP trophies, and won five MVP awards. He also boasts 14 All-Star appearances, 10 scoring championships, and is also a former DPOY(Defensive Player of the Year) and ROTY(Rookie of the Year). Uniquely, he holds the record as the only player to clinch MVP, DPOY, and the scoring title in a single season. Noteworthy is the fact that, during his tenure with the Bulls, he reportedly earned more than his entire team. Additionally, it’s crucial to highlight that Jordan achieved his six NBA Finals MVPs within 8 years.

Despite attempts from players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry, it’s challenging to envision any active player surpassing the records of His Airness, Michael Jordan. His legacy as the best NBA player of all time is likely to endure for a long time.
