To think that the greatest duo in NBA history has been on bad terms for years now is extremely heart breaking for their fans. During the ’90s decade, the Chicago Bulls gave us Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Although Jordan eclipsed his best collaborator, Scottie Pippen would’ve been one of the biggest stars in the league on his own for any other team. But that combination of those two with Dennis Rodman’s defensive prowess is the main reason these Chicago Bulls won two three-peats. Simply put, there was a time in which Jordan and Pippen dominated the NBA without any real opposition. We apologize if this triggers Utah Jazz fans but you can’t deny the truth. But ‘The Last Dance’ docuseries on Netflix created the division we have today.
Pippen’s grave accusations against Jordan make waves on social media
As it turns out, Pippen’s 2021 book ‘Unguarded’ has some controversial excerpts that Michael Jordan’s fans are starting to make viral online. Scottie talks about scorekeepers in the NBA inflating Jordan’s stats to help him win individual trophies. He writes: “Say I deflected the ball and tapped it over to [MJ]. I should get the credit with the steal, right? Nope. More often than not, the steal went into his column in the stat sheet and I could do nothing about it… One night a scorekeeper came into the locker room… to hand the stat sheets to Phil Jackson… I couldn’t believe the look the guy gave Michael: ‘See MJ, we take care of you’.”
Grave accusations from a book that was an instant best seller when it came out and unleashed an entire fan base against him. We are talking about Michael Jordan. Within the biggest names of history’s best athletes, his name is always fighting for the No. 1 poition against other great legends. Coming at Michael Jordan as Scottie Pippen is doing can only backfire. To Scottie Pippen’s credit, the man is sticking to his guns and he doesn’t seem like he will bulge.
