Scottie Pippen destroys Michael Jordan while praising LeBron James

After LeBron James and the Lakers were eliminated by the Denver Nuggets, Scottie Pippen appeared on social media to talk about LeBron James and his possible status as the greatest player of all time.

“LeBron will be the greatest statistical guy that ever played the game of basketball and there’s no comparison to him. None. So, does that make him the greatest player ver to play the game? I’ll leave it up for debating. I don’t believe that there’s a great player because our game was a team game and one player can’t do it.”

Of course, that answer was totally surprising considering he played alongside Michael Jordan. Then, in an incredible statement, Scottie Pippen just took it to another level.

“I’ve seen Michael Jordan play before I came to play with the Bulls. He was a horrible player. He was horrible to play with. He was all one on one. He’s shooting bad shots and, all of a sudden, we become a team and we start winning. Everybody forgot who he was.”
