‘Supporting Cast’: Scottie Pippen Slams Michael Jordan of Treating His Teammates as Secondary in His Upcoming Memoir
Follow Us
Chicago Bulls formed one of the greatest teams in NBA history. The Bulls, led by Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, dominated the league for a decade and won six championships in the duration of eight years. This includes two three-peats. However, despite forming an incredible duo on the court, Pippen and Jordan have not been on the same page since retirement.
Many feel Jordan was the sole reason the Bulls won six championships. However, Pippen and co. had an important role to play and their gameplay complemented Jordan. Since their retirement, Pippen and Jordan have been on their own paths.

“Each episode was the same: Michael on a pedestal, his teammates secondary, smaller, the message no different from when he referred to us back then as his “supporting cast.” From one season to the next, we received little or no credit whenever we won but the bulk of the criticism when we lost. Michael could shoot 6 for 24 from the field, commit 5 turnovers, and he was still, in the minds of the adoring press and public, the Errorless Jordan.”
Pippen has already made it clear that ‘The Last Dance’ focused on Michael Jordan and little did they do about his teammates. In fact, Pippen went on to reveal that Jordan received money for the docuseries while his teammates didn’t ‘earn a dime’. The documentary mostly covered Jordan, but his teammates played an equally important role in winning the championships for the Bulls.

However, Pippen made it clear what he feels about the documentary. This is shocking considering the Pippen-Jordan duo has been one of the most decorated duos in NBS history. Michael Jordan is yet to comment on Pippen’s comments. Pippen’s memoir is set to be released on November 9.
