Chicago Bulls’ legendary duo Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen are no longer the buddies they were. Following some startling revelations by the latter, the pair were apparently never that close. Many fans have come in Jordan’s defense, while Pippen has also gained a lot of support. In the latest addition to this list, former NBA star Rashad McCants has backed the 56-year-old. He has also lashed out at MJ.

It all began with the Last Dance documentary on Netflix. As fans relived an elite era of basketball courtesy of the Bulls‘ big-3, a huge controversy was brewing on the sidelines. Following the release of the show in its entirety, a large section of the masses, including many former Chicago players themselves, were quite upset by the series. The apparent reason, was that the 14-time All-star chose to glorify himself over the team. Former forward ‘Pip’ was among these critics, and lashed out at Jordan in his memoir.
