Recently, a picture of Scottie Pippen and Floyd Mayweather posing together after a panel discussing the movie ‘Fear’. went viral on social media, drawing strong reactions from fans and commentators alike. The photo, which was posted on Pippen’s Twitter account, has sparked a heated debate about the relative contributions of Pippen and Michael Jordan to the Chicago Bulls six NBA championships in the 1990s.

The photo with the caption – ‘50-0 and 6-0‘ refers to Floyd Mayweather’s perfect and undefeated boxing career. While 6-0 refers to the 6 championships that the Bulls won while Pippen was playing for them.

The Pippen – Jordan controversy

Mayweather, who is a basketball fan and a close friend of Pippen, used the opportunity to praise the former Bull’s defensive skills and his role in the team’s success. Mayweather implied that Scottie Pippen was the best defender in the league. He was the one who made the Bulls unstoppable. Without him, Michael Jordan and the Bulls would not have won six championships. He said “Hell of a player. Remember, Michael Jordan had no rings if it wasn’t for Scottie”

Fans did not take these comments lightly. Fans see them as a slight against Michael Jordan. Jordan has a reputation for holding the title of one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Many have taken to social media to express their outrage, with some calling Mayweather’s statements “disrespectful” and “ignorant.”

However, many agree with Mayweather’s assessment of Pippen’s contributions to the Bulls’ success. They argue that Pippen was an integral part of the team and that his defensive skills and versatility were key to the Bulls’ dominance in the 90s.
