Yes but in my opinion Jordan didn't have the right to talk shit about pip when Scottie made a bad decision specially when we all know that he was under-appreciated by the bulls organization, (underpaid) and feel that Jordan could have done something for him in that regard but never did,.

[@MaybeDHitHim]

@@terrellmaxwell8961 I don't even know if I'd say that. I do know that The Jordan rules tried to funnel him left and stop him from taking flight. Scottie loved going left and he could effectively kick the ball out if they stabbed at his dribble so that's where they were slightly different. That aside, Scottie had a concussion 1 season and a hangover the next. When he finally said he was ready to sweep them, Chicago swept them. As for the leadership thing, I'm actually harkening back to what BJ, Kerr and the data says. Data: Scottie is not only the pointman but he can control the game at both ends. BJ: Scottie was the person who led us while Mike was the 1 who willed us to win. Kerr: Scottie was the consummate teammate and whenever Phil had something for us, it was Scottie's job to communicate that message.

@@MaybeDHitHim I saw it. They roughed him up until he hit da weights got stronger. He started winning when Scotty got there right?

@@terrellmaxwell8961 Mike actually only played 2 seasons without Scottie. He broke his ankle his second season and only appeared in 18 games whereby he was only allowed to play 24min. They took the clamps off him and pushed him out to point. He averaged 37ppg but you couldn't win with your point scoring that much. Scottie was drafted and came in as a starter after a few games.

[@OhCarlJr]

“MJ was horrible player” - Pippen in 2023 “When you speak MJ you have to mention Pippen, I don’t win 6 without him.” - MJ on Pip in the Last Dance Doc.. Pippen is sour for the obvious reasons. But for him to call MJ for being a horrible player prior to his arrival, is nuts.. MJ willed his team to make the playoffs at 8th seed his rookie year. It’s like Pippen watched the Documentary but didn’t pay any attention.
