The basketball world is buzzing as a former teammate of Michael Jordan, recently stirred the pot with a seemingly innocuous picture and a cryptic caption. The image, shared on his Twitter, captures a moment frozen in time. The NBA legend showed the picture featuring sports legends Muhammad Ali and Shaquille O’Neal, alongside other basketball luminaries. However, it’s what’s missing from the frame that’s raising eyebrows and sparking whispers of a not-so-smooth relationship.

Let’s check out the tweet and the brewing beef that led this icon to skip MJ from the GOAT conversation.

The not-so-innocent omission and the GOAT declaration

In this digital age, every post is scrutinized, and Pippen’s latest upload was no exception. The absence of one particular figure, Michael Jordan, could hardly go unnoticed.

When Scottie shared a picture with the great Muhammad Ali, he might not have thought about the buzz it will create. The picture also had an ensemble cast. It features the likes of Shaquille O’Neal, Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon, Gary Payton, and Reggie Miller.
