The Chicago Bulls sit on top of all the dynasties in NBA history. With players like Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman, the team dominated for an entire decade.

Although Jordan was clearly the best player during his time in the NBA, he has had his fair share of hate. Several fans and analysts around the world criticized MJ for his attitude, particularly towards his teammates.

All this was blown out of proportion in a book by author Sam Smith which gave the readers inside information regarding the Chicago Bulls. One of the most controversial statements in the book involved Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Horace Grant.

Smith talked about how Jordan, Grant, and Pippen compared their son’s private areas for 30 minutes! This was bashed by Jordan himself in an interview as he demolished all the claims.

Jordan said, “He really exploits certain things. I’ve heard there was a story about how Pippen, Grant and I were talking about our sons’ penises. He said we spent thirty minutes debating whose son had the biggest penis. What’s the purpose of that being in the book? You know it’s kidding, so what?”

Moreover, MJ accused Sam Smith of manipulating his teammates into speaking ill of the 6 time NBA champion. According to Jordan, Smith made an issue look like it was a season-long thing, whereas it was just a matter of one game.

Interestingly enough, one of the persons falsely accused in Smith’s book went on to bash Michael Jordan in the future. It is none other than Scottie Pippen.
