Jordan and Pippen were undoubtedly a riveting pair. They combined for some historic moments in Bulls history. During the course of their careers, they captured 6 titles with the franchise, including two three-peats.
While ‘His Airness’ was a guard-forward, Pippen played primarily as a small forward. Everything seemed to be fine between the two greats until Pippen’s book and the docu-series. After the 56-year-old destroyed Jordan verbally, he has clarified his stance now.

In a New York Times interview, Pippen addressed what it was that angered him, and whether this has dented his equation with Jordan forever. “I think he’s always separated himself a little bit from what I consider the traditional team concept,” stated the 1994 All-star MVP.
He proceeded to clarify that Jordan’s treatment of his teammates was different, but productive. Finally, upon being asked if his book would create a split with the 58-year-old, he firmly laid out “To answer your question, no.”
