It seems that the relationship between Michael Jordan y Scottie Pippen it will not be the same again and it is that MJ received a new dart from his ex-partner with whom he won six rings in the Chicago Bullsbecause he assured that LeBron James will be the best player NBA of all times.
“ LeBron (James) will be the best player statistically to have played basketball. No one compares to him, no one… So does that make him the greatest player ever in this game? I don’t get into those debates. I don’t think there is a better player because this is a team sport and no one can do it alone,” said the legendary Bulls forward.
Pippen held nothing back against Jordan, saying he was a terrible player before the Bulls drafted him in 1984.
“I watched Michael Jordan play before he came to the Bulls, you guys watched him play… He was a horrible player, it was horrible to play him… He was bad one on one, he took horrible shots. When we became a team, we started to win and everyone forgot who he was,” he said.
THE LAST DANCE FRACTURED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PIPPPEN AND MICHAEL JORDAN
The launch of the documentary series The Last Dancereleased in 2020, made Pippen explode against MJ because the story was told in his favor and not that of the legendary team that won two Three-peat (1991,1992 and 1993 and 1996, 1997 and 1998).
“Michael was determined to prove to the current generation of fans that he was the greatest of all during his time, and even greater than LeBron James, the player many consider not just their equal, but their superior. So Michael presented his story, not the story of the The Last Dance.
“I could not believe what I was watching. Time after time, the spotlight shone on the number 23. Even in the second episode, which focused for a time on my difficult upbringing and unlikely path to the NBA, the narrative returned to Michael Jordan and his determination to gain. I was just an accessory. His ‘greatest teammate of all time’, he called me. I couldn’t have been more condescending if I had tried,” Pippen commented after the series premiered.
