Lto campaign of harassment and downing of Scottie Pippen towards Michael Jordan there seems to be no end. In recent weeks the former Bulls player has launched multiple accusations that have been casting a terrible shadow over Jordan’s legacy in the team and even in the NBA.
The six-time NBA champion and Jordan’s best companion throughout his career has once again charged against the mythical ’23’ trying to dismantle the myth around his figure. In another passage from his book ‘Unguarded’ Pippen again attacks Jordan whom he labels as selfish and gets wet in the debate between LeBron James and Jordan.
Mike didn’t want to pass, he didn’t want to rebound, and he didn’t want to defend the best rival player. I wanted everything to be done
“I will go so far as to say that Michael Jordan has ruined basketball“says Pippen in a new excerpt from his memoirs.” In the 80s, in the schoolyards, everyone played moving the ball, passing it to help the team. In the 90s that ended. They all wanted to be like Mike. Well, Mike didn’t want to pass, he didn’t want to rebound and he didn’t want to defend the best rival player. He wanted everything to be done for him and everything to be done for him. That’s why I think LeBron James is the best of all time. He does everything and involves his teammates. “
Pippen’s tremendous stick is the answer to Jordan’s documentary ‘The Last Dance‘and the part where’ Air ‘explains that in order to win he needed to motivate his teammates and that’s why sometimes he messed with them and treated them harshly. Pippen believes that this was not the correct method and has uncovered it by opening the fire of a war that does not seem to be ending.
