“And he’s lucky that I had a bad back my rookie year. I would have beat him at golf, too. But we’ve never played a round of golf together,” Pippen added.
The interviewer then asks Pippen, who would win between him and Jordan at golf today. To this, Pippen said: “Oh, I don’t know. My game is not all that right now.”
Pippen’s memoir ‘Unguarded’ doesn’t show Michael Jordan in a positive light. The way Pippen and Jordan played, no one believed when Pippen said that they were ‘never close’. While Jordan was the best player in the team, Pippen was the most influential player apart from Jordan in all the six championships, the Bulls won. Jordan hasn’t responded to any of Pippen’s comments so far, but it’ll be interesting to see when will Jordan break his silence over this.
