The Public Enmity Between Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan: What’s Behind It?

Much has been said about Scottie Pippen y Michael Jordan after the latest comments that circulated around their relationship. The thing is Pip charged very hard against his ex-partner and even came to throw down his beginnings as a basketball player. However, what is behind this public enmity?

There have been more than one public confrontations that they have had, especially with Pippen always on the charge for some supposed attitudes of who is considered the best or one of the best of all time. The league has had historic crosses over the years, but this one, due to the weight of both protagonists, could be the one with the greatest impact.

The last thing that happened was that the former Chicago Bulls forward assured that LeBron James is the best in history and that when he met Jordan he was “horrible” playing, a phrase that did not go down well in the world of the NBA.

The reasons why Pippen and Jordan could be facing each other

One of the details that came to light months ago is the relationship between Michael Jordan’s son and Scottie’s ex. They met a little over three years ago through mutual friends and what started as a rumor was confirmed by herself posting photos together.

Shorts for the documentary ‘The Last Dance’

Several followers of each of the basketball players assure that this issue can be considered another key factor in the tense bond, especially since there Pippen is minimized and blurred in his role within the Bulls team in which Jordan shone.

Money involved?

Also as a result of that documentary, Pippen himself accused Jordan of keeping money when in reality others on the team received nothing. “Michael received $10 million for his role in the documentarywhile my teammates and I don’t earn a penny,” he told GQ magazine some time ago.

Scottie Pippen’s phrase about Michael Jordan that caused a stir

Pippen’s recent comments received a negative response from basketball fans, who did not expect to read and hear such words from the Hamburg-born.

During the Gimme The Hot Sauce Podcast, the seven-time All-Star surprised: “I saw Jordan play before I came to the Bulls, you guys watched him play. He was a terrible player, it was horrible to play with him. The only thing he did was one on one, he made bad shots and out of nowhere we became a team, we started to win and everyone forgets who he was.

But not everything was there, but he was also encouraged to compare LeBron James with Mike. “LeBron will have the best stats of anyone who has ever played basketball and there’s no comparison, so does that make him the best player to ever play? I’ll leave it for debate, because I don’t think there is a great player because our sport is a team sport and one player can’t do everything”.

Notably The King eHe is the only player in NBA history with over 38,000 points, over 10,000 assists and over 10,000 rebounds. This and his four MVPs have allowed him to earn a privileged place and enter the comparison of who is the best of all time. In any case, and regardless of tastes, the trajectory of Michael Jordan cannot be left out.

The rumor began to circulate on social networks that Pippen would be angrier than ever with Michael for his son’s recent romance with his ex-partner, added to possible jealousy over the prominence that he took out for him in that emblematic Bulls team in the ’90.

“The last two episodes, like the previous eight, they glorified Michael Jordan without giving me and my proud teammates enough praise. Michael deserves a lot of the blame for that. The producers had given him editorial control of the final product. The documentary could not have been published any other way. He was the lead and the director”, he pointed out two years ago for the magazine to GQ magazine.
