“I just want to let people know and set the record straight that I was as great a player as Michael Jordan,” Pippen said. “Only one player can take home the MVP, and that’s that.”
Has this guy gone crazy? :roll:

He could very well believe that, but he is trying to sell a book. Sadly in today’s 24/7 news cycle it takes someone saying some stupid shit to make headlines, which is essentially the platform of all those ESPN debate shows.

I wanted to buy and read his book. No longer getting it. He will say anything to sell his book and it’s making him look pathetic and desperate.

Yes, Pipp's probably got an account here on ISH and has bought into all the love he gets here.

Since we are acknowledging age and injuries now, explain to your buddies why MJ didn't reach the playoffs in Washington or why The 2013 Lakers didn't reach the finals.
I try to tell them but they don't listen. Maybe they listen to you!

Some more comments that have emerged:
"I was done, pretty much," Pippen said. "I mean -- I struggled to pull it through in that game and I suffered from it, still suffering from it but I wouldn't have played in a Game 7, I just wasn't able to go. I knew on Saturday that I probably had one game left in me, and the start of that game I got a dunk early in the game and got banged a little by [Karl] Malone. That really put me back on my heels throughout that whole game, where I was running back to the locker room, [to get] cortisone, whatever kind of medication I could get in me, heat pack, whatever to try to carry on. I definitely was not able to play a Game 7."
Isola asked Pippen whether his Game 6 return wasn't talked about enough, and Pippen responded "Well, I don't see many bad back games, but I do see flu games." Pippen then added a flippant "come on" to throw extra fuel into the fiery rivalry he's built with Jordan, who played Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals with a stomach virus or food poisoning.

From calling Phil a racist...because the last play wasn't drawn up for him...to now claiming he's as great as Jordan.
Talk about flying off the handle
Pippen's got delusions of grandeur.
"Waiting for mj to 'die' to sell his cards for a fortune."

His teammates liked him including mj who admits he wouldn't be where he is without him. Sure he's he's wrong here but who cares. Mj is a dick so who cares about his feelings and pip will sell way more books due to all the controversy. what's the problem?

Pippen was a great player but he wasn't as good as MJ. Only players close to MJ's level in that era where Hakeem and Barkley. Pippen is a top 30-35 player. Around there.

I feel like Pippen knows MJ on a personal level and knows MJ is a condescending a$$hole. You know that one friend you had who everyone likes but you know the real him.

Lost so much respect for Scottie. In an effort to sell this stupid book he's tarnishing the legacy of one of the greatest dynasties in American Sports history and burning every possible bridge with Jordan (though im sure he doesn't care about that anymore).

And who is hurting exactly by saying what he's ssying? What are you worried about mj's feelings? Mj's my favorite player of all time but i could give 2 shits about his feelings and what pip said.

He doesn't believe any of that bullshit.
All of his nonsense popped off after the Last Dance. Clearly Pippen was hurt and now he is retaliating.
Nobody said anything about Jordan's feelings being hurt. Pippen also took shots at Phil and Paxon. What I take issue with is Pippen bullshitting and gaslighting for a paycheck. Its low character.

I think he's always felt this way he just held it in. Sure it's convenient because he's selling a book but i do believe he's always felt this way.

He was simply robbed lol

I don't think Pippen was speaking in the literal sense but in the sense his value to the Bulls was just as good. As a teammate who was slighted I don't blame him for that attitude. Just like Kobe shitting on Shaq. Shaq was better than Kobe but Kobe wanted credit where it was due.

Looks like pip is taking shots at both hakeem and barkley too, blaming them for the failure to succeed in houston. Pippen just keeps blaming everyone. Dude has no accountability.

Seriously. Maybe he should have been able to outplay a 1st-year starter in Kobe in the '99 Playoffs? Barkley did not take great care of his body but he's the only one who showed up consistently in the Lakers series while Pippen shot 32%. Kobe made the game-winning FTs in his first Playoff Game as a starter after Pippen turned the ball over up 1 with 7 seconds to go. Fisher also had two CLUTCH steals in that game.

When was I a Bronsexual? Lol, triggered. European education must be at an all time low right now.
people are saying that pip is just saying outrageous shit to sell books, and that's probably true, but i do feel he's seriously pissed at MJ for only glorifying himself while trashing everybody else.
let's understand how pip got so triggered. my guess is that pip is probably still embarrassed as hell about the kukoc episode. he probably hates that memory as much as chris webber hating the timeout. he just wants people to erase that episode from their memory and never talk about it. it's been years... decades, but naw naw, mj just had to suddenly bring that shit all up again and remind everyone that pip was a crybaby and it had to be on a blockbuster show that the whole world watched. mj probably should have known bringing that up was going to offend pippen in some way, but he didn't care at all because painting pip as weak and beta was going to make himself seem more alpha, so he threw pip under the bus to promote himself. but mj probably miscalculated HOW MUCH it was going to offend pip. and now we know. lol
this is more than just selling books. this is a legit hateful revenge.
even if pip's books sells zero, even if his reputation is completely demolished, even if he never has a job in espn or any network again, i don't think he's regretting this at all because i think he's still receiving a ton of immeasurable satisfaction for fvcking back at mj.
and he knows mj takes EVERYTHING personally and this is pissing him off. mj ain't laughing at this book. just like pip wasn't laughing at the documentary.
this whole book could probably have been retitled , "FVCK YOU MJ! FVCK YOU!" and every page would had supported the title. :oldlol:

Sad life if you ask me. For one, he should at some point have come to grips with the kukoc episode by himself. The fact that he just hopes everyone forgets about it, rather than fully accepting that he made a mistake, take the L and move on, it shows he's not handled it the right way. He is again putting the blame on others for his mishaps. Other people should forget? Other people should not mention or talk about it? It's going to be all about others, not himself.
At the end of the day, no matter how much he thinks he irates MJ, just the fact that he is not able to find peace, he loses.

I think whatever MJ says, Pippen is going to put a spin to it and take it negatively.

i don't know what he wants.
but a lot of people are saying he's just making controversy to sell books. that's what a skip bayless does. i don't even think skip hates lebron one bit.

Again, you dopes are making it about 'feelings hurt' when I'm talking about straight up buffoonery. Pippen being full of shit and carrying himself like a clown doesn't mean I care how it affects Jordan, and how he feels waking up in the morning. :oldlol:
