Talk about a change of heart! π€―
π From “Best Teammate” to “Horrible Player”? The Scottie Pippen 180.
In 2010, during his Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame induction, Scottie Pippen couldnβt have been more grateful. With Michael Jordan standing right behind him, Scottie called MJ the “best teammate” and promised to cherish their relationship forever. π€β¨
Fast forward 13 years, and the tune has changed completely. Pippen recently went on record calling the GOAT a “horrible player” to play with, claiming he was too selfish and played strictly one-on-one basketball before the Bulls became a dynasty. ππ£οΈ
Why the sudden shift? π§
Many fans speculate if this stems from how Scottie was portrayed in The Last Dance, or if heβs finally sharing a “truth” he kept hidden for decades.
What do you think?
Is Scottie right about MJ’s early style of play? π
Or is this the ultimate “double-talk” from a former teammate? π€

Scottie pippen is the Bret Hart of basketball great player and legend but bitter ππ€£
Michael was called messiah in this 3-4 seasons. Scottie saying he was horrible πππ
Scottie made Michael complete.
They needed each other
He's absolutely right. Jordan didn't do shit. He was a ridiculous ballhog his first few years. That's not double talk. That's someone being honest. Leave it to an MJ Stan to be confused about it lol
That's not double-talk, that's just straight up being two-faced.
Snakes
Wasnβt Michael Jordan the same dude who made a whole documentary about the Chicago Bulls in the 90s and he put himself as the center and didnβt really really give any credit to any teammates he made it all about himself
Definitely ai
I mean when mj left his team only lost 2 more games on the season having 55 wins lol.
Two things can be true at the same time
What he said in 2010 and what he said in 2023 are two different statements. They donβt contradict
