You may not like who they date sometimes but its nothing you can do. Scottie is just envious and jealous of MJ and probably has been for years. MJ is a billionaire and he's worth $10 million.

      ​@@jw9410I'm not sure if I'll go that far on being homeless but I do believe he's suffering from mental illness. Because for him to repeat all of these lies over and over something has to be wrong with him. Everyone knows Jordan never won a ring without him or Phil Jackson. But he's never been the most important piece, just like Kobe without Shaq in the earlier years. Kobe just was great enough to lead after Shaq was traded. Most guys in the Pippen role are thrilled to be apart of something that special but for some reason he's not. Clyde Drexler led Portland to the finals twice and lost both times. He went back in 95 with the Rockets as the 2nd option to Hakeem and finally won. You've never heard him complain because without Dream he's in the same boat as Barkley, Malone, and Ewing. A Hall of Famer without an NBA championship.

    Micheal Jordan played in one of Scottie's charity events because he wasn't able to sell tickets. After MJ agreed to help him out, the tickets sold out that day.

    Mad love to Stephen A. for this segment. I loved the Bulls growing up in Chicago. My family didn’t have much money at the time and I was actually fortunate enough to get to go ONE Bulls game during that entire era. Bulls v Hawks during the 1996 season. It was wonderful🥹
    Scottie Pippen is one of the greatest players to ever play the game. This is a fact. Jordan is THE greatest player to ever play the game. Jordan has never failed to give Pippen credit. It’s so very sad to see that for all these years, Pippen has been envious of Jordan. Last Dance just told the truth. No need to be upset. No one, not every Jordan, did everything right 100% of the time.
    Jordan didn’t give you a “headache” in game 7 of the 1990 ECF against the Pistons. Jordan didn’t make you sit out the last play of the game during the 1994 ECSF against the Knicks. That was all you. It’s fine though, that doesn’t take away from your greatness.
    As for Larisa, yes that is some shady 💩 but Jordan’s son is a grown man. He can’t tell his son who and who not to smash. Get it together brother. Get that hate out of your heart.

Michael did him dirty and he is salty now, and the situation is getting bad and bad with time. Never ever did I think that this would happen, they were like brothers on the court

I remember this stuff like yesterday and its ashame Scottie at 57 doesnt have the maturity to simply own it with some contrition looking back at it all. Instead he's in denial and lashing out at everybody. Jordan didn't tell any lies on him...

      @@dheerajsah I think Scottie was depicted exactly as he should have been. Jordan himself said Pippen was his greatest teammate. He also said that whenever someone says Jordan, they should also say Pippen. If that isn’t high praise, I don’t know what is!
      Besides, as good as Pippen was, he actually was mentally fragile. Rodman and the other Bad Boys intimated him. That’s why he had a “headache” in that game 7 1990 ECF. That 92 Knicks team also used to pick on him. Xavier McDaniel used to scare Pippen. I remember Jordan stood up for him and said “F** you!” right to McDaniel’s face. Just because he’s mentally weak, doesn’t mean he wasn’t a great player. James is also mentally weak but he’s one of the greatest of all time.

MJ called Scottie his brother, said he wouldn't win 6 rings without Scottie, said you should always mention Scottie when you mention Michael Jordan. I really think it's about MJ's son banging Scottie's ex-wife, but of course Scottie will never admit that publicly.

  • @Dustin_John

    In my opinion, it all boils down to legacy. Scottie Pippen might feel jealous of Michael Jordan because Jordan is widely regarded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, basketball player in history, while Scottie will always be in Jordan's shadow. Scottie seems to believe that by downplaying Jordan's achievements, he can raise his own status in the history books. However, it's truly hard to believe and quite absurd for Scottie to claim that Jordan is a bad player. Jordan was an extraordinary basketball player who inspired countless others. Allen Iverson wanted to emulate him, Kobe modeled his game after Jordan, and even LeBron James wore the number 23. Jordan's shoes were in such high demand that everyone wanted to buy them, whereas I have never seen anyone wearing Pippen's shoes, to be honest.

But M J did great damage to every team he played against for real! Retire and be happy Pip and be glad you had a great connection with this GOAT! You were you who you were and MJ turned out to be just who he was! A GOAT! And maybe The GOAT! U and Jordan the fans would love to see you guys together now that you all are in your golden years!

I feel for him but the delusion he is trying to convey is simply fascinating. This is gonna end up in a documentary in probably about 4-5 years breaking down the ins & outs of what exactly happened to Scottie that has him on camera saying this stuff about MJ. It is just remarkable. I hope he gets help & comes thru this & rejoins us in reality. Get well soon #33. You’re an Icon & we miss you

      Yeah i think there is some jealousy there because he wanted to be the man and he had a moment when Jordan left for baseball to be the man, but it was taken from him. So he's always had this stigma as being part of the supporting cast and not the main piece.

    For as much credit as I want to extend to Pippen who obviously was a GREAT player, my defining memory of him was him choosing to take himself out of a playoff game because the play was going to another player. It’s hard for me to value his perspective on leadership and what constitutes a competitor knowing how many times he failed or quit because of petty reasoning. A truly great player who had less defining moments than most of his caliber IS the proof of Jordan’s greatness. Scottie seems like he’d be more satisfied with serving in a bigger role as the Joker than settling for being the Robin to Jordan’s Batman.
