  1. Scottie : MJ was carrying before you got there and carrying after you got there. Jordan needed you to win. That's a fact. But you aren't what you are without MJ.

  2. I mean Scottie isn’t lying. It’s just most of y’all are too young to remember. And most of y’all are meat riders. It was all one-on-one and he did take bad shots with 4 players draped all over him

  3. It sucks seeing Scottie Pippen acting like this. A guy who we considered to be MJ’s partner on the court, saying all these horrible things and not even giving his condolences to MJ after his father passed. Scottie, you got to let it go man. It’s not looking good

  4. Scottie has to be one of the most salty and disrespectful in basketball. It's called being humble and letting it go. You won 6 championships with the best basketball player of all time, why are you distancing yourself from someone like MJ?

  5. If anything Pippen is overrated as a player. Yeah he was really good but come on. What did he ever accomplish without MJ?

  6. Scotty is still petty that mj's son is dating his ex-wife and that larsa pippen became michael jordan's daughter-in-law

  7. This is just sad and sickening. Scottie needs to find peace frfr, therapy should be considered. Mj literally never speakings on the topic unless asked in an interview or something and it’s always been praise to Scottie so I don’t understand who he’s trying to reach with these words? Who is he looking for validation from? Is he trying to expose some kind of dark side of MJ? I don’t get it bro

  8. Jordan came in the league, as a rookie, being an offensive weapon—scoring more points in a season, Over the Bird’s and the Magic’s. So to say he was “trash”, or even “overrated” is a redundant statement. Possibly Jordan had a missing link in his game, when it came to transitioning into a professional NBA player—but to say he was trash just ruins your credibility and your validity on ever speaking on basketball ever again.

  9. This is the guy that refused to go in to the game for the last play of a playoff game

  10. It’s not a lie though!! Until Scottie and Phil came he wasn’t a good teammate and he had V.I.P. access to a first round slaughter!! He ain’t say Mike didn’t become great or that he remained terrible but shooting bad shots 35 times a game and not passing was the reason they kept getting swept before Scottie joined the team to run point forward and take on the toughest defensive assignment every night!!

  11. Tbf ppl do put MJ all the way and act like ppl like Bill Russell or Wilt Chamberlain didn't have it harder to compete through tough opponents… MJ isn't the greatest. He did some great stuff but he didn't go through the shiz bill or Wilt went through (especially Bill because of how Boston treated him)

  12. Idiots are actually taking this literally. Look at what’s going on with Scottie’s ex wife Larsa and Jordan’s son. Obviously really bothers Scottie and he’s struggling dealing with it. LOL the commentators say nothing about this – sometimes you gotta look at the bigger picture and what’s really going on.

  13. Scottie Pippen knows better then ANYONE speaking on this subject. Everyone else is just lying and trying to discredit him. Pippen was around Jordan and Phil and knows more about them then ANYONE IN MEDIA OR SOCIAL MEDIA. You can't take the creditability of SCOTTIE PIPPEN these media guys have the nerve.

  14. I'm a Jordan fan but these dudes in the media have no integrity and are paid for. It's disgusting. All the media talked about was how horrible a player MJ was and how selfish he was and how he couldn't win a championship playing the way he played and now they gonna act like Pippen is making this up. This is disgraceful and disgusting and I'm done with major media sports talk.

  15. Pippen is low class. Jordan came back and they won three more championships. When Jordan was gone playing minor league baseball and Pippen didn’t even make the championship round, is Pippen a horrible player? Classless. Kukoc took that final shot. And he made the shot. Pippen has received enough credit. He’s on the all time 75 year anniversary team. Give up the griping….

  16. Dont sit in the Final 1.8 Seconds of a playoff game what if Kukoc wasnt open and the Ball gets in your hands Scott Pip what will you do with it Nail the shot like Mike and Kukoc or throw it over the backboard and Walk away Losing that game. Lol.

  17. Dawg, I like Leggs and I personally think is one of the better analyst out there but he wrong when he says; "Pippen got deserving credit" no he has not, whatever you think, whatever side of the spectrum you are, you know good and d@mn well that Pippen has not been given the proper credit and/or the respect he deserves, now for all that say; "MJ has said many times he was his best teammate, bla, bla" OK, that's cool and all but that doesn't mean he's given credit to his contributions per se and also on the same token, while doing that, he still highlighted his lowest moment so, is a little like oxymoron, now, for people that may lack of analytical thinking, I'm not saying what Pippen said is right, cause is not, but let's not pretend what was mentioned above is not true also, by the way, calling Puppen petty when the king of that is MJ come on now lol

  18. Everybody on MJ nuts if anyone knows MJ it's Scottie pippen .let's not forget MJ never beat Larry bird not one time but somehow that gets overlooked smh .just stay consistent
