Why does Michael Jordan HATE Scottie Pippen?

Why does Michael Jordan hate Scottie Pippen? Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were best friends until Jordan’s Last Dance Documentary series came out. Scottie Pippen felt like Michael Jordan was portrayed as the only reason the Bulls were successful in the documentary, meanwhile other players like Scottie were made to look like his sidekicks. But what Jordan did next made Scottie even more mad, Jordan said Scottie was a selfish teammate for delaying surgery in 1997 in order to get a better contract. Scottie responded by Jordan was selfish for leaving the bulls to play baseball. Scottie also criticized how Michael treated the people around him, he said Jordan was the ultimate bully and the Bulls won in spite of him. But this last statement Scottie made it so he and Jordan would never be friends again, Scottie said Michael Jordan was a horrible basketball player and a horrible person to be around. He said LeBron James is a more complete player and nobody can compare to him. However, Michael Jordan seemed to get the last laugh because Scottie Pippen's ex-wife Larsa left Scottie to date Michael's son, Marcus Jordan.

Jordan never hated Pip. In fact, he always praised Pip and said that he couldn't have won those championships without him. Jordan went so far to say that whenever you mention him, you should mention Pip also for he is that good and important. It was Pip who got bitter after many years. It's most probably because of the many circumstances in his life but dissing Jordan is just very wrong because the man has all but praises for him.

In last dance Jordan said he was his best teammate and he wouldn’t had 6 championships without Scottie

Jordan doesn’t hate Pippen. The man gave Pippen the ultimate respect in the doc. He literally said no Pippen no 6 rings. Also said when my name is mentioned they need to mention Pippen as well. I’ve never seen a great or anyone give that much respect to a teammate.

That's MJ documentary and besides, MJ repeatedly acknowledges the help of his teammates.

Jordan doesn't hate Scottie!! But Scottie certainly hates him!!! All Jordan's documentary did was show those that weren't around then what was going on back then. I witnessed it all and I remember the Scottie drama but Hell it was his fault for signing a horrible contract!

[ronnie]

Jordan names pippen in his top team ever whenever asked . That's all that matters .

[jehzaygaming]

That's crazy how scottie called Jordan selfish when during that one game he refused to play the last seconds thinking they lost the game

[justinperkins]

When Micheal went to go play baseball, he was going through something, his father past away, and his father always wanted him to play baseball, that wasn't selfish at, he was grieving, people grieve differently.

Scotty has a lot of personal issues going on right now. There’s no winner in their friendship ending.

“Made to look like his sidekicks”…
They were his sidekicks, awesome sidekicks!

MJ averaged 32pts entire career not a season.

I think it's chiefly bitterness of having earned so little money in comparison to Michael. And not receiving anything after "The Last Dance" was a huge success made all the bad memories of being the underpaid, underappreciated sidekick come back to him. And the bitterness boiled over and he lashed out

[quann]

Scottie changed his story when he said Michael was better. What a goofball!

[realnsenpai]

Jordan treasured his friends like what he did to barkley. Gave him advice about nike stocks. Barkley is still thankful about it.

If having your son date a gold digger is winning, I want to lose.

Wow, that's twisted. But Jordan never actually hated Pip, though.

Michael Jordan was one of a kind athlete and human being off the court. Alot of people don't talk about a very real fact that forever showed that Michael Jordan is not selfish at all. Jordan signed a basketball contract for a year with the Bull's cause he didn't need the big salary that year cause he made a fortune in endorsements outside of the game. N if he didn't do this the Bull's couldn't afford to keep all of the champion's together cause they didn't have enough money to sign everyone back n Jordan kept the team together. I guess it's hard living in a icons shadow throughout ur career

[courtneywhite]

Scottie always hated Jordan, Even Scottie's rookie year he was taking jabs at Jordan, Charles Oakley said this

[sparrow]

Jordan couldn't have done it without Pippen and Rodman.

[glen]

He said he couldn’t have done without Pip
