Scottie Pippen made headlines with his statement in a recent podcast! However, that was not the only highlight. The 6-time champion joined his ex-teammate for a podcast episode where the two spoke about several Chicago Bulls members. Sharing his thoughts about Michael Jordan, the 3-time champion made a stunning revelation that left Pippen speechless for a few seconds. 

With enough drama in his life, Pippen went on to throw some shade at Michael Jordan today. While the former teammate spoke about how he brought various Bulls members to his podcast previously, Pippen did not fail to ask him about MJ.

Pippen and MJ were not the only stars in the Bulls’ first three-peat. Former center Stacey King played a huge role in it as well. The 3-time champion’s impact with the Bulls was undermined due to two superstars in the team. However, King showed his dominance no matter what. Following his departure from the basketball world, the 56-year-old went on to start his own podcast on YouTube. 

King has managed to pull in some core members of the former Bulls team to his podcast. The latest was Scottie Pippen. King shared, “We had Phil Jackson on last, last couple weeks ago. It was a good show. You know I always try to be at the horizon before… We bring you know all the 90s Bulls on here.” Interrupting King, Pippen did not fail to make a mention of the main man.

The 7-time All-Star replied, “I didn’t hear you say Michael Jordan.” The 3-time champion wasted no time, “Now we can’t get Michael Jordan…MJ too big man! You know he’s too big after ‘The Last Dance’ Pip. Nobody can talk to him no more.” 

However, Pippen believes the narrative was the same even before the famous documentary. The 57-year-old replied, “I didn’t think he was giving you too much before that.” King added, “You gotta go through 100 people to get MJ,” as he kept it real.

MJ was surrounded by talented stars like Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Stacey King, Steve Kerr, etc. However, the 57-year-old believes many of them were not given enough credit. 

Pippen believes MJ did the documentary, “to bring himself back and really give this modern-day era an opportunity to see what his playing was like in the NBA.” Moreover, Pippen went on to share a hot take on MJ by comparing him with Lakers star LeBron James.
