Michael Jordan's not the one who underrated Scottie Pippen - Wilbon reacts to Pippen | NBA Countdown

Didn't Mj call Scottie "his greatest teammate of all time" in the documentary? I never thought Mj disrespected Scottie

[dantemack]

“ Scottie was the greatest teammate I’ve ever had” “ I don’t win 6 championships without Scottie” “Scottie was always my go to guy” “ you can’t mention Michael Jordan’s accomplishments without Scottie in there”

[damonlane]

Michael Jordan never said a bad word or comment about Pippen. Michael has said if it wasn’t for Pippen there would be no Michael Jordan. Jordan gave his enshrinement speech introducing Pippen as a member of hHOF with tears of joy. Wilbon is telling the truth about Michael never disrespected Pippen. The Last Dance was a documentary that bought to light negative things Jordan, Pippen, Phil Jackson and Rodman did. However it also showed many great things each men was about.

I really didn't pay any attention to this until Stephen A pointed out something...when you think about it Pippen has a bad track record of making bad decisions...from contracts, sitting out in the last few seconds of a close game, his personal life and etc...I think he's salty and mad because he didn't have the success off the court like he thought he should have had...the one thing I like about MJ...he's quiet and allows his success to speak for him...his game, his shoes, the only former NBA player who actually owns a team and he's worth 1.6 billion dollars...and he NEVER talks about himself.

I loved The Last Dance. I did not conclude Jordan elevated himself. No one who eyewitnessed their tenure believes Jordan did it alone. Everyone knows what Scottie, Grant, Longely, Cartwright, Paxson, etc. brought to the table.

[ThenukSirimanna]

MJ has always appreciated Scottie as far as I know. Even called him the greatest teammate he ever had.

[roquemikemartinez]

I actually respected pippen more after the last dance. This just proves that he never learned from his bad decisions.

[fabianarmilla]

Michael Jordan always gives Scottie respect. He mentioned him and thanked him in his hall of fame speech! smh!

[underconstruction]

Scottie didn't tell his kids about the migraine game, About sitting out when Phil chose Toni to take the game winner after he bricked up the prior two shots. He didn't tell his kids show he side hated on Jordan.

[DecAllTimeAlways]

It's actually really sad it has led to this. Michael & Scottie are the greatest basketball duo of all-time. Even Kobe admitted this. They won 6 titles together. And the other half wants a divorce because of a documentary.

[DecAllTimeAlways]

Michael Jordan could've been born in any year and he would've dominated in ANY era because he's MICHAEL JORDAN. You can't bottle up the GOATness he had. He'll always excel in any year, in any universe.

[shalakocumberbatch]

Scottie is trying to sell books & ESPN is doing a good job of helping him do that. Lol

[Justin]

Scottie wouldn’t have that home in Southern California without MJ

[ill-nois]

Definitely did not think any less of Scottie after the documentary, if anything I’m thinking less of him now for doing this. I think he let these all time player rankings get to his head. It’s really low for him to call out MJ publicly instead of addressing his issues privately. Scottie doing this makes him look bitter and salty, not a good look.

[tytaylor]

So MJ has repeatedly called Scottie is greatest teammate and even said he won more because of Scottie. The Kukoc game was something the other teammates talked about. Each teammate got a chance to discuss in their own episode. Scottie was asked about that game and said he would do it again. (That's on you Sir) He needs to chill with this BS that MJ disrespects him when ANY time Scottie's name comes up MJ always shows love. But some of the things he did were shady in a team dynamic. Own that bro! MJ said he did some things wrong but at the time felt he needed to do to win.

[montblancnoland]

Jalen throwing that future shade lol out of no where hahah

[aaronblake]

Without MJ we wouldn’t even be speaking about pippen . God bless MJ and the bulls . What a team

[RamboAAssil]

What else do you need when you’re mentioned in Michael Jordan’s HOF speech 🎤 with out Scottie Pippen there is no Michael Jordan. That should have done it there.

[Alex_Lynch]

Scottie meant to say “I couldn’t believe my eyes… I had to re-live terrible and embarrassing decisions I had made on prime time tv with my sons sitting next to me. All because Michael wanted to tell the raw and complete story of a legendary team on a legendary run.”

[JayChiCity]

Pippen i pray he be ok. Since his Wife cheated on him and his Son passed. He been going through somethings. Prayers up for him. Jordan has never called himself the GOAT. Pippen knows that. He also gave Pippen the Ultimate Compliment. Sad Man
