Itās not a secret that most people consider Michael Jordan to be the greatest player in NBA history. His Chicago Bulls were one of the most iconic dynasties of all time, not only in basketball but in sports overall.
The Bulls made it to 6 NBA Finals and won at that stage every single time. They won two three-peats and became the most popular team in the world after their historical 72-10 season in 1996.
Nonetheless, none of that wouldāve been possible without Scottie Pippen also on the team, and it seems like heās done with constantly living under Michael Jordanās shadow, according to his soon-to-be-released book.
Scottie Pippen Book Reportedly Takes Shot At Michael Jordan
In the publication, Pippen reportedly tells untold stories about him, Jordan, and other personalities of the league, as well as clearing the air on some things that didnāt go exactly as told on āThe Last Danceā.
āScottie Pippen has been called one of the greatest NBA players for good reason. Simply put, without Pippen, there are no championship bannersālet alone sixāhanging from the United Center rafters. Thereās no Last Dance documentary. Thereās no āMichael Jordanā as we know him. The 1990s Chicago Bulls teams would not exist as we know them,ā the book reads.
āSo how did the youngest of twelve go from growing up poor in the small town of Hamburg, Arkansas, enduring two family tragedies along the way, to become a revered NBA legend? How did the scrawny teen, overlooked by every major collegiate basketball program, go on to become the fifth overall pick in the 1987 NBA Draft? And, perhaps most compelling, how did Pippen set aside his ego (and his own limitless professional ceiling) in order for the Bulls to become the most dominant basketball dynasty of the last half century?ā it continues.
Itās common knowledge that Pippen didnāt like the way he was portrayed in the documentary and that his ego was quite hurt, so we canāt wait to see what he has to say about it and one of the greatest teams in NBAās history.
