The Chicago Bulls were the most dominant team in the ’90s. However, the relationship between their players seems to be a different story. Notably, the relationship between Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan is clearly not in the right place. Recently, while promoting his book ‘Unguarded’, Pippen got tired of talking about his former teammate.

Pippen and Jordan were one of the best duos on the court. They won six championships together and were the spearheads of the Bulls dynasty. However, after the release of ‘The Last Dance’, something did not sit right with Pippen. He felt disrespected by the documentary as it did not fit the purpose which was the Bulls’ final season together.

This was only the start as Pippen went on an onslaught against Michael and multiple other legends while promoting his book and bourbon. However, in a recent event, Pippen just wanted to speak about his book and keep MJ out of it.

Scottie said: “You really making this a Michael thing. I kind of gave in and thought if I answer it with the first thing maybe you would talk about the book. But this is really going to be about Michael. My book is really about the story of the greatest basketball team of all time. And not only that, the greatest era of basketball of all time. And I felt like that was by me.”
