When it comes to winning, few did better than Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. The duo won six championships together and are one of the best duos in NBA history. However, while their on-court bond worked wonders; off the court, things weren’t as rosy. Notably, Pippen was not a fan of the ‘Last Dance’ docuseries. He felt it was more about Jordan rather than the Bulls. Now, an NBA insider came out and made surprising revelations about Jordan’s feelings from the backlash.

Jordan was one of the most fierce competitors in the league. His only objective came with wanting to win a basketball game. Hence, he was not the most enjoyable person to be around during practice. As a teammate, Jordan pushed his fellow mates to the limit to make sure they deliver on the big stage. On one occasion, he even punched Steve Kerr during practice when things got heated between them.

Recently, an NBA insider came to the front and spoke about how Jordan felt with all the criticism coming his way.

Michael Jordan affected by the backlash?

The ‘Last Dance’ docuseries showcased how MJ and the Bulls became a successful dynasty over time. However, Pippen did not see it that way. He felt Jordan got the documentary out for making his own case solid. In addition, he disliked the fact of how the series did not give credits to his teammates, but just Jordan. Pippen highlighted how multiple teammates felt about Jordan. This brought in a lot of criticism to Michael and Jackie MacMullan feels that got to the six-time MVP.

She said: “I don’t think he was particularly thrilled with the blowback from The Last Dance and some of the things that came back at him. I think some of it flummoxed him a little bit to be honest.”
