“Each episode was the same: Michael on a pedestal, his teammates secondary, smaller, the message no different from when he referred to us back then as his ‘supporting cast,’ ” Pippen writes in the prologue. “They glorified Michael Jordan while not giving nearly enough praise to me and my proud teammates.”

A rare video of a Chicago Bulls player bullying Pippen has resurfaced, which seems to be taken in Pippen’s initial years with the Chicago Bulls.
