Pippen says young Jordan was horrible to play with.

Prepare to have this everywhere

[Keno]

well said

this isn't anything new though, pippen is just expressing what the media is afraid to.

[tpols]

Pippen is an extremely spiteful and delusional individual.

[highwhey]

His ex wife is getting dunked on by Jordan's son ... I'd say the same thing as Pippen right now too. Lol.

still, if it was Pippens fault, why is he blaming Jordan.

[Akeem34TheDream]

Pippen made Jordan?

[AlternativeAcc.]

Pippen and Phil taught Jordan how to win, albeit in a mickey mouse league.

I will always give Pippen equal credit for those titles.

Pippen made Jordan?

it's somewhere along the line of Scottie Pippen made Michael Jordan, but Scottie Maurice Pippen did not make Michael Jeffrey Jordan

He(and many at the time) are obviously talking about being horrible as a teammate not literally bad but you can bet people are gonna pretend that’s what he meant. It’s probably like how when Bird had this 50 point game:






Which the Celtics lost by 1. Walton told him in the locker room he was the worst player on the floor that night and Bird actually agreed. They started spreading the ball a bit more and won 14 straight and the title.

One of those things. Not literally bad. Just not letting others play.

Sounds bad though.

I understand why Pippen sour, wife getting slammed by Jordan's son. Surprised he didnt say anything about Malik Beasley.

This ungrateful wretch was letting Oakley ragdoll the crap out of him when he was a scrawny, rookie shitting his diapers, but now he can talk down on the GOAT???

Pippen was NEVER a franchise player like Embiid, Barkley or KD - he was a supplementary player like Klay that would be "just another guy" without a generational offensive talent to elevate his resume to media accolade.

Most of Jordan's teammates fell off dramatically once they were outside the dynasty system - Pippen cratered in Houston, while BJ and Longley were relegated to the bench on expansion teams after 3-peating with MJ as starters.

1988 Pippen.... 7.9
1989 Pippen.... 14.0
1990 Pippen.... all-star
1991 Pippen.... champion

So Pippen grew by leaps and bounds alongside MJ - ditto Horace and BJ.. Very few players have Jordan's exceptional record of teammate development - it's one of the best ever.

Pippen is lucky that Jordan wasn't a ball- dominator that imposed spot-up roles and horrific fits like Lebron had with Ingram, Westbrook, Hughes or Kuzma - Kuzma was going to be a 12 ppg player for his career until he escaped Lebron.

Instead, Jordan was an off-guard, so Pippen had the ball in his hands with the goat assist target off-ball to make his job easier and bail him out if needed - that's how young ball-handlers grow.. Jordan played the same way Lebron did in 2023 that allowed Austin Reaves to go bananas.. The difference is that Jordan could average 35 off-ball and yield a perennial favorite, while Lebron could barely get 20 off-ball and had his typical whimpering underdog.
