In the years since The Last Dance was released, Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen has seemingly grown more and more bitter over his relationship with Michael Jordan. After some particularly surprising comments he made, ESPN’s Mike Greenberg was just plain sad.
In a recent interview, Pippen declared that Jordan was a “horrible player” for the Bulls prior to his own arrival in Chicago. He went on about how Jordan struggled in his first few seasons.
“LeBron James will be the greatest statistical [player] to ever play the game of basketball… [Michael Jordan] was a horrible player.”
For Greenberg, hearing those comments from Pippen was “genuinely sad.”
“Watching this makes me genuinely sad. Scottie brought so much joy to so many people. The fact that it all left him with such bitterness is a terrible shame,” Greenberg tweeted.

It only takes some very basic research to see that Michael Jordan was already an elite player and arguably the best shooting guard in the NBA when Scottie Pippen was first drafted in 1988.
Pippen is in a very small minority of people who would argue against the greatness of Michael Jordan during his playing career.
Whether it’s coming from a place of genuine, objective review or from what appears to be a growing bitterness, Pippen is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way with how he talks about his former Bulls teammate.
