Scottie Pippen's beef with Charles Barkley is what happens when you don't listen to Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan had Scottie Pippen as his wingman on the dynastic Chicago Bulls, but away from the court, one of MJ's closest friends was a rival: Charles Barkley. What did this mean for Pippen and Barkley? Not that much ... until Jordan was removed from the equation.
In 1999, after the NBA lockout and Jordan's second retirement, Pippen left the rebuilding Bulls for the Houston Rockets. There he joined Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon to form a team of aging superstars in pursuit of one more ring. Or, in Barkley's case ... a ring. His first ring.
Despite several trade demands over the years, Pippen had never played anywhere but Chicago, and the situation he found in Houston was not to his liking. He didn't get the ball enough, he fretted over the preparation and conditioning of the notoriously distractible Barkley, and ultimately he experienced nothing close to the success to which he'd grown accustomed.
So after one disappointing season, Pippen demanded another trade. Charles wasn't happy and he called some names. Scottie returned the favor. So not long before they retired, two legends had themselves a very childish, very public feud. Think of this like a beefy sequel to "The Last Dance."

Growing up in Houston in the 90s... let me tell you, this video provides a VERY slanted and generous interpretation of Pippen's time with the Rockets. Pippen's nickname here is "Quitten" for a reason. He showed up, cashed his check, and clocked out. Never even tried to make it work here, and acted totally shocked and offended when the offense ran through the post with two of the greatest post players of all-time. Scottie flushed the last serviceable year of two hall of famers' careers down the toilet because of his own ego. Even though his time here was short and didn't meet expectations, Barkley is still beloved in Houston. Pippen? Not so much. For all this talk about Barkley's work ethic and drive, Pippen was the one who quit.

Both guys made mistakes along the way but Charles hit the nail on the head when he said Scottie was insecure. He knew his legacy would be defined as the game's greatest 'Robin' unless he found success w/o Jordan, much like how Kobe felt with Shaq. It's why Scottie pouted when Kukoc took that last shot. It's why he was so angry after losing to LA in 2000 (specifically Game 3). It pains Barkley never to have won a title, but it pains Scottie to be looked as a just great 2nd banana. And as great as he was, he wasn't at all on Barkley's level. Here's a fun game...look up old Sixers/Bulls & Suns/Bulls games on KZbin and you'll see Barkley abusing Pippen over and over again any time he attempted to guard him. It must be nice to talk tough when you lucked into playing 10 years with Michael Jordan. Meanwhile, Barkley's best best teammates in his prime were Kevin Johnson & Hersey Hawkins. Now Barkley's getting a lecture on dedication from a guy who caught a DWI a week before the playoffs? FOH

I love how old heads say that players were never “buddy buddy” like they are today when MJ and CB were best friends while in the league. They were doing all the same stuff they do today, but there was just no social media to constantly make you aware of it

[@RockdaNike]

I love how people treat athletes being friends like it’s a bad thing. As if they have to have this venomous hatred for each other. As if some one needs to hate another person that works the same exact job for a rival company. Being competitive doesn’t equal being hateful but that’s a lesson a lot of fans haven’t learned.

[@kingdeedee]

Pippen wanted to go to L.A from Houston because he wanted to be reunited with Phil Jackson? Is that the same Phil Jackson he called a racist, for giving the last shot of the game to Kukoc?

[@tylongkicks8821]

Pippen is such a Hypocrite

[@S2pidMedia]

Actually, I think Scottie's problem was partly his own ego, and lacking self awareness. He always wanted to be the man, but he was never quite good enough to get it done. Yes, he is a top 50 player, yes, he was a tremendous defender and worked hard. But Phil Jackson called him a sometimes shooter. Scottie wasn't a consistent enough scorer to be the man, and couldn't accept being the 3rd option behind Hakeem and Charles, who were both better offensively than Scottie was. So what did he expect? Charles took a pay cut to bring Scottie in, but I don't think anyone in their right mind would have expected a superior offensive player to defer to someone who wasn't as good, but Scottie didn't have that self awareness and maturity. Scottie was a great supplementary piece, but he never had success as a number 1 option, and on the Bulls, it was always MJ, Scottie, a little Kukoc, and nobody else was really noteworthy. For all his hard work and dedication, Scottie was never in the class of Hakeem and Charles and he struggled to accept that. Whining to the media only made it worse, and since Scottie couldn't take shots at Hakeem (a made man in Houston), he took shots at Charles, who was still better than him, but Scottie couldn't accept that somebody who didn't work as hard as he did was still a far more dominant force. No disrespect to Scottie, his resume speaks for itself. But he was always a star, not a superstar, and he just didn't understand that.

[@sroland3533]

You Cudve said it a BETTER WAY bcse as I always tell those who come with the MJ cudnt Win without Scottie, So Wht, isn't it a Team Sport. Now hey amma always give you whts yours whether I like you or not plus I was a BULLS & I am an MJ Fan but am not gonna be biased but Scottie technically Hung Himself during the ECF wen he sat out bcse Phil decided to give Kukoc the Last Shot a mean Kukoc made the same Shot time n time b4 during the Regular Season and it didn't seem like it was a Problem then. Ok cool whts done is done let's move on now there was a game while Pip was on the bench the camera picked him up pointing at the shoes he was wearing and those shoes were Jordan's.

After watching last dance and seeing this I’ve come to the conclusion that Pippin was a straight punk. Always crying about something where ever he went. If it wasn’t for Jordan, Pippin would legit be a after thought. I agree with Charles, Pippin only wanted to win and be in a position that if he lost the blame wouldn’t be on him. Anytime he was called upon to be the man he failed.

@@rusted8157 Problem with Pippen was that he was Klay Thompson, but he didn't think he was Klay Thompson but he was convinced that he is Durant. This was his basic problem in Rockets or Blazers when he wasn't playing alongside basketball god Jordan. So Barkley was right when he said Scottie was convinced that winning the championship was easy because he still thought he was playing with Jordan in Bulls who, when needed, will give you 35 points on 50% efficiency and with 35-40% usage rate.

I remember that playoff series between the Rockets and Lakers. Lakers were kicking their butt and Pippen and many other Rocket players appeared as if they weren’t playing hard. Barkley was frustrated and said to everyone on the bench ‘if y’all ain’t tryna win this game I’ll win it myself!’ and then slammed his chair on the floor.
