Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen are still regarded as the greatest duos of all time. They dominated games and tournaments for an entire decade.

Having said that, a hardworking radio host from Chicago put forth his utter disappointment towards the Bulls star for such comments. Marc Silverman is currently a co-host of the Waddle and Silvy Show on WMVP, ESPN1000. He was one of those reporters who covered major chunks of the Bulls’ first three championships.

Moreover, Marc has always been a Scottie-defender. For starters, he spoke up for Scottie for getting his due value in the game. And Marc claims he had his back on numerous other occasions as well. But this one time, he feels betrayed.

On an episode of the Dan Patrick Show, the famous radio host, Marc, narrated his displeasure – “A lot of the times I have defended Scottie. I have fought for years on ESPN1000 about Scottie getting his due, that Scottie not being just a top 50 player but being a top 30 player, Scottie being a revolutionary player.

“Now, all of a sudden I felt like a scorned lover. It’s really broken my heart regarding all the bitterness that he has shown.”

There were multiple rumors and stories surrounding Bulls’ player vs management issues. In fact, Michael Jordan has himself addressed them at several instances in Last Dance as well. But there wasn’t a blink of hatred exhibited between the two superstar teammates in the history books.

On Scottie’s controversial words for so many in the league, Marc simply stated, “Maybe it’s Scottie that’s the issue here.”

“He (Scottie) wants to sell Bourbon and he wants to sell books,” he further added. “But I just don’t think that’s a reason to go and ruin the relationships of one of the greatest teams of all time.”

MJ hasn’t yet indulged in replying back to his former teammate. Nonetheless, the air has turned sour after fingers being pointed, particularly from Scottie’s end. But the upcoming memoir from him is surely becoming an anticipated endeavor.
