NBA legend Scottie Pippen‘s ex-wife Larsa once again gets dragged into the mud. The 6x NBA champion teamed up with Horace Grant and Luc Longley for a unique endeavor, a tour through the world to share an unfiltered version of the Chicago Bulls’ triumphs during the 90s. As expected, the tour was met with harsh criticism with many calling it anti-Michael Jordan. One of them is former NBA player Gilbert Arenas.

“Them Pippens is tripping right now. They chasing that Jordan blood. He got his wife out there leaving and coming back. She done realized that I need the Jordan Brand. Now, the real Pippen, No Bulls tour, realizes no, you need Bulls. His ass is back to Mr. Jordan,” said Arenas.

Scottie’s ex-wife Larsa Pippen is currently dating Jordan’s second eldest son, Marcus Jordan. The two have been together for more than a year.  Gilbert Arenas alluded to that in his final remarks. “With the Pippens, you just gotta follow Michael Jordan at this point.”

Scottie Pippen chose Michael Jordan as the greatest player

During his latest interview about his latest endeavor, the “No Bulls” tour, Scottie Pippen was once again asked about his former teammate, MJ. Speaking of Hs Airness, the 6x NBA champion shared, “He was the greatest player, definitely in basketball. For sure, I mean, you look at the MVPs that he was able to achieve.”

Furthermore, Pippen also praised the entire Bulls roster for making the three-peat possible in the 90’s. It’s a rather different tune than the one we’ve heard from the former Bulls forward in recent years. The beef between the Pippen and Jordan isn’t news anymore. After the popular Netflix docuseries, “The Last Dance,” their relationship was publicly strained. Along with many other sports stars, Scottie also expressed that he was unimpressed by the series.

Pippen even went as far as to criticize Jordan in his memoir, “Unguarded.” He mentioned, how Jordan did not do justice to show his contributions and role in the team. He reflected how the spotlight was more on MJ and his journey instead of the rest of the team. Given the duo’s beef history and their time in the Chicago Bulls, Scottie Pippen’s GOAT answer was quite amusing. What are your thoughts on this? Do let us know in the comments section below.
