LeBron fans must be waiting for that day when they can see the James duo/trio playing together for an NBA franchise. It would be such a huge moment in the history of the game to watch a father-son(s) duo play that NBA World might not care which team accommodates them.

Just a few years back, you could have caught Pippen badmouthing LeBron and explaining on multiple NBA talk shows that he is not in the same league as “His Airness”. Fast forward 4 years, he has all the love for James and nothing for MJ.
The infamous feud between Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal can probably only match Jordan and Pippen’s relationship. The only difference is that Kobe and Shaq settled their differences, while Pippen and Jordan still seem at odds. Pippen’s issues started with the Jordan-centric Last Dance footage, which inadvertently either painted him in a bad light or completely minimized his efforts in building Jordan’s legacy.
In the 4 years since the finale of the doc aired, Pippen has publicly changed his stance on the Jordan v LeBron debate and has sided with the Lakers star over his former teammate.
