New NBA Books: Scottie Pippen memoir throws some big Michael Jordan shade "I WAS THE REAL LEADER" & the Last Dance was disrespect UPDATE: Oh SH*T!
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
All the players who played with them say Pip was the Leader... Jordan was just the best. Not even close in regards to who was the best player on the team, but... Pippen always will be underrated because of it. Pippen is in my top 20 All-Time, but others will stick to the top 50.... dude just did so much on both ends of the floor.

You’re right, it does.
However, we can all agree that Derrick Fisher nor Sam Cassel are no Scottie Pippen and it’s not close.
Pippen is overrated if anything. How can you be top 20 all-time when your whole career in the playoffs was either you getting bitched by Detroit or New York, you have “migraines” or a bad back? Plus, he holds grudges like a girl. He’s the most mentally fragile player in the Hall.

This right here?
I cannot respect that man.
And MJ doesn't?
Last dance bars
I don't understand,why so many people defend Jordan but will kill others for calling him out on his bullshit.
Are there people jealous of Jordan,probably but I find it hard to believe all of them are. Jordan could kill someone's family member but people will blame the victim for their own death.
I don't blame Pippen for calling Jordan out. How are you gonna say there wouldnt be no Michael Jordan without Pippen and then throw Pippen under the bus in a documentary.

Agreed.
My ONLY issue with Scottie is deliberately not sending condolences to MJ after his father death.
That is just..
Everything else?
Agree or disagree if anyone has the right to talk about MJ its Pip.
This MJ is perfect stuff is not gonna really help his legacy moving forward.
Even Isaiah said he would miss MJ after he retired the first time

That's how REAL competitors talk.
It's said bitterness and jealousy is so much more celebrated now
As opposed to forgiveness and brotherhood

I literally said fuck of them the page before
Didn't MJ lend Pipp some bread?
Just,a few years ago,Craig Hodges called out Jordan and folks were saying he's jealous of Jordan. It made no sense. I don't understand,why Jordan can't be called out for his bullshit but others can..

He teflon bro
Not many have had the skill set of Pippen before him or since. And, he won 6 rings after learning to win in some tough series with Detroit.
And I meant to say they will claim him as top 50... but I still have him in my top 20. MY top 20.... What can I say, I just loved his game... but I respect you not agreeing with me, most don't, so not trying to convince.
How much evidence do you need to confirm Scottie's bitch assness?Michael Jordan Never Received Condolences From Scottie Pippen After His Father Was Murdered in 1993: 'Michael and I Aren't Close and Never Have Been'

MJ just shoot that mofo.....
I ain’t a fan of “tough talkin” Scottie. Negro played himself on his NBA contract and mad at the world, let a Kim Kardashian wanna be ho finesse him and fuck niggas he gotta commentate on to make a living. All that shit while being church mouse quiet. Now he got all the smoke for Jordan? True or not this nigga is way late and Jordan’s legacy is solidified. All he’s adding to his legacy is second best teammate and CSNIC (chief salty nigga in charge). Check yo wack ass baby mama even one time before you start talking bout another dude.
Succa shit.
Succa shit.

Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen May Never Be Friends Again After Pippen Admitted He Regrets Not Giving Jordan Condolences After His Father Was Murdered
by Ashish Mathur on November 10, 2021
In his memoir, Unguarded, Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen admitted he didn’t offer Michael Jordan condolences when his father was murdered in 1993. James Jordan was killed while he slept in his car on the side of a North Carolina highway, and his body was found in a South Carolina creek.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is one of the few media members who has a relationship with Jordan. After the excerpt of Pippen’s memoir in which he talked about not offering condolences to Jordan came out, Smith went on First Take and boldly stated that the Bulls icons may never be friends again.
Stephen A. Smith on Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen: “It’s over”
Smith said “it’s over” between Jordan and Pippen after what the latter revealed in his book about the former’s father’s passing. The veteran media talent spoke with Jordan on Nov. 2.
“His father passed away after the first three-peat,” Smith said. “So you had year one without Michael Jordan, year two. You had the three years you were with him for the second three-peat to express your condolences. You never did it. Michael Jordan never even thought about that until he saw it, and then he realized, ‘Wait a minute, you didn’t give me condolences on purpose. I didn’t even think about this.’ He’s (Pippen) crossed the line. Him and Jordan, it’s over. Take it from me. It’s over.”
Pippen takes a lot of shots at Jordan in his memoir. In response to Jordan calling him selfish in ESPN’s The Last Dance documentary for delaying a foot surgery and asking to be traded in 1997, Pippen fired back by calling MJ selfish as well.
Scottie Pippen on why he thinks Michael Jordan is selfish
Jordan retired in October 1993 after his father was killed in June. He was mentally and physically exhausted, and many people around the Bulls likely understood why he left the NBA. However, Pippen wasn’t one of them.
“You want to know what selfish is? Selfish is retiring right before the start of training camp when it is too late for the organization to sign free agents,” Pippen wrote in his book.
Pippen averaged 22.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists sans Jordan in 1993-94. He not only led the Bulls to 55 wins, but he also finished third in MVP voting and won the 1994 All-Star Game MVP. In his book, Pippen wrote, “For once, it was nice to win something of my own instead of watching Michael walk off with another trophy.”
It’s been shocking to watch Pippen bash Jordan ever since The Last Dance came out. He sounds bitter about his time with the Bulls despite winning six championships in the ’90s and becoming a global celebrity.
The Hall of Famer also looks like a merciless person. After all, he didn’t offer Jordan condolences after the shooting guard lost the most important male figure in his life.
Pip looks really bad
Pippen heard Jordan talk about his father’s death at his retirement press conference in 1993, watched him cry after the Bulls’ fourth championship on Father’s Day in 1996, and saw him get emotional in Episode 7 of The Last Dance when he spoke about the night his father’s body was found.
Despite all of that, Pippen never found it in his heart to offer condolences. That’s a bad look for the former small forward.
Jordan called Pippen his best teammate of all time in The Last Dance. The five-time MVP even thanked him during his Hall of Fame speech in 2009. The Last Dance must have really rubbed Pippen the wrong way because he even praised Jordan during his Hall of Fame ceremony in 2010.
It’s certainly been glaring to see Pippen write and say negative things about Jordan, especially for Bulls fans who watched the two legends dominate the ’90s and develop an impeccable rapport on the basketball court.
Apparently, that chemistry was only on the hardwood.
