Although the two had great chemistry on the court, all was not well outside of it. After the release of his book, all the suspicions regarding their relationship came true. Moreover, it led to former teammates taking sides between the two legends.

Late last year, Pippen released his highly anticipated memoir, ‘Unguarded’. Interestingly enough, the book contained shocking details about his relationship with Jordan. Talking about the Pippen allegations, NBA Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins came in support of Jordan and bashed Pippen. 

Talking on the Da Windy City podcast, Wilkins said, “Look, you were in a great situation, with the greatest player, and you won. Do you win it without Mike? (There’s) no way, you don’t win without Mike. I don’t care what you think, you played with one of the top three or four players to ever play this game. I just don’t understand the problem.”

Interestingly enough, Wilkins is not the first NBA legend to come in support of Jordan. After Pippen accused Jordan of being a bad teammate, a former Chicago Bulls teammate called Scottie out. According to Scott Williams, Pippen and not Jordan is the bad teammate.

He talked about how Jordan always keeps in touch, but this is not the same case with Pippen. He said, “I text him [Michael Jordan] and he always responds.” This is contrary to the claim made by Pippen that Michael Jordan never responds to texts.
