Scottie had enough of Jordan trying to convince people he was better than he actually was :rofl:

Scottie Pippen said MJ used 'LAST DANCE' to outshine LeBron James. Pippen, in his upcoming memoir "The Unguarded", says MJ was so worried about younger fans calling LeBron the G.O.A.T., he decided to release the multi-part series to show off his greatness.

Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen wrote in his book "Unguarded" that he and Michael Jordan were never close friends and still aren't.

Pippen wrote that Jordan would've never became a superstar if it wasn't for him and that he was always a better teammate than MJ.

Pippen himself says that he was a better teammate. Who is picking Pippen on their team before Jordan? Nobody ever

Being a better teammate doesn't mean he's a better player...

Pippen isn't trying to say he's better than Jordan, he's just tired of Jordan's ego just like the rest of that Bulls team. Jordan wasn't winning SHIT until Pippen showed up anyway.

Its the other way around. Pippen's career would have been just like Kyrie's had he taken the same path. They're both delusional too.

This is a bad look for both of them. Neither wins without the other. They won six fucking titles together in eight years. There should be nothing but praise for one another. But also acknowledge that it's a team game.

Pretty fucking pathetic to be quite honest.

Pippen is saying MJ wouldn't be MJ without him. All evidence proves that. Especially that in his prime he didn't want to go for a 7th championship without Pippen.

Jordan went 38-44, 30-52, and 40-42 in the three seasons prior to Pippen arriving in Chicago. Jordan lost in the first round each of those three seasons.


They needed each other, and it's pretty obvious Pippen is tired of people acting like MJ did it by himself or was some god. Pippen is one of the 20 best players to ever play the game.

LeBron needed Kyrie's best year of his career to win a Chip for Cleveland. LeBron needed Wade still in his prime and Chris Bosh to win his first Chip.

The argument is stupid, everyone needs good teammates to win titles.

Yeah, the difference is LeBron has proven he can win with various players in different situations.

MJ wasn't that kind of guy. He had that loaded team and they won a bunch in a weak era and that was it, the other 9 years of his career he didn't even make the Finals....


MJ didn't face anywhere near the amount of HOF players in their prime in the Finals that LeBron has faced. Not even close. Jordan played in an expansion era when the leak was WEAK.
