Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen’s dispute: According to fans, Larsa and Marcus’ relationship is to blame
Prior to joining the Chicago Bulls, Scottie Pippen discussed his impressions of Michael Jordan’s playing style.
Fans, however, took offense at Pippen’s remarks and quickly turned to the internet to ridicule him for his choice of words regarding Jordan’s performance.
“I saw Michael Jordan play before I came to play with the Bulls,” Pippen said.
“You guys have seen him play. He was a horrible player. He was horrible to play with. He was all one-on-one, shooting bad shots.
“But, all of a sudden, we become a team, and we start winning and everybody forgot who he was.”

Others claim that Pippen’s animosity with Jordan stems from “The Last Dance.”
The documentary examined the Chicago Bulls squad in the past and appeared to minimize Pippen’s contribution.

“LeBron James will be the greatest statistical [player] to ever play the game of basketball,” Pippen added.
“There’s no comparison to him, none.
“So, does that make [LeBron] the greatest player to ever play the game?
“I’ll leave that out for debating.
“I don’t believe that there’s a great player because our game is a team game and one player can’t do it.”
