  1. Scottie was bitter back in the day and he the same scottie. I finished the book everything in the book was already known but he just changed everything to push the narrative that MJ ability was not that good

  2. In 1986, Jordan truly arrived. He put up 63 in April on the Celtics. But in Chicago, it was a different landscape. In January of 86, the Bears had won the Super Bowl. The city was and continued to be a Bears town, some may even argue it was even when the Bulls started winning. Payton, Fridge, Dent, McMichael, McMahon, Ditka, Singletery… Also in the 80s, Chicago was a focus for Hollywood. Think "Weird Science", "Ferris Beuler's Day Off", "16 Candles", "Adventures in Babysitting", "Home Alone", "The Untouchables" and more. Pippen came in 87 and Jordan was incredible but the era of the NBA was focused on Boston, LA, Houston and Detroit. Everyone thought soon that Cleveland were going to emerge in the late 80s. My point is – The Last Dance was about Jordan and the Bulls, in that order. And for as big as Jordan was in the end, it wasn't even that the Bulls were huge in Chicago… until momentum grew behind Jordan and a big part of that came from guys like Pippen emerging to show that 'hey, we got a shot here…'. But before that… when Jordan arrived the Bulls were an afterthought. Guys like Quintin Dailey were ordering hot dogs and beer from the bench. Unfortunately he and guys like Woolridge were also doing drugs too. It was a DIFFERENT time!

    There are some (raw) truths in Pippen's book and some shock sales pitches to sell the book IMO. Scottie's right about a lot of things, that just was the way things were. Jordan was/is selfish. He wants to win at all costs. He wanted to be the best at all costs. And he wanted anyone that played against him to know that he was better than them – to such a crazy degree – that he wanted to ensure the next time they played, the other player would already know they weren't good enough. And he wanted anyone on his team to know that he expected the same energy and effort he put out, which is 'fair' but insane! Jordan used to say that basketball was 20% physical and 80% mental. And he excelled at both. KNowing this – when people would suggest Pippen wasn't as mentally tough, they were dead wrong. Pippen was the guy that lasted and grew & embraced that challenge. He was the guy that could take it and even PUSH Jordan. He was big, quick, could handle the ball, good mid-range, good post game – Pippen would practice with the second unit. He was scary good & could do it all. Funny thing though with Jordan… he did want to be the best… but it didn't stop at just himself – he wanted it to be known that he and his team were the best. He didn't want anyone to say that their team was better.

    Finally… IMO… the issue with the Last Dance is that he & some other players – including guys that had reservations about being in teh documentary like John Stockton -feared the team piece wasn't there to the degree it should've been. Stockton didn't want to just be in a Jordan fluff piece. In his eyes they didn't lose to Jordan and the Bulls. They lost to The Bulls. And I agree with that. Scottie was so huge and had an AMAZING story for his career -as did many of his teammates. Luc's documentary was also awesome to see. But you didn't see much of Luc mentioned at all in the documentary. Because TLD was about the center of the Bulls Dynasty and the larger than life character, a specific key era, & transition from sports to entertainment & apparel & marketing – Jordan. So don't get me wrong. Jordan is Jordan – just an absolutely incredible player, the very best. I could tell so many stories! But I can get why Pippen might be a little miffed from the documentary. Especially if it's true that he & the others didn't get a dime from it while Jordan did. 😉

  6. SCOTTIE PIPPEN. WAS VERY BLESSED TO PLAY WITH THE G.O.AT. SCOTTIE PIPPEN WOULD HAVE NO ACCOLADES , IF HE NEVER PLAYED WITH MJ . SCOTTIE PIPPEN WOULD BE A NO NAME BALLER . JUST MOST BALLERS . THE THING I WILL REMEMBER MOST ABOUT SCOTTIE PIPPEN IS HOW OVERRATED HE IS .>🎤

  15. I remember the first time I saw Scottie on TV. My friend turned on the game and they were all on the sidelines. She was like "this is the Bulls and they're the best team" I pointed to Scottie and I was like "who's that? I like him." I was just drawn to him. I'm on chapter 3 of the book.

  19. REST IN PEACE TO YOUR SON SCOTTI GODBLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GODBLESS EVERYONE AMEN 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇🙇🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇🙇🙇🙇‍♀️🙇🙇🙇🏾‍♂️🙇🏾‍♂️🙇🏾‍♂️🙇🙇🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

  20. This man has a right to tell his side of the story whether you agree or not…I don't like when people make excuses for Jordan attitude and treatment of other players and teammates. Jordan very well might be the greatest ever but that doesn't excuse his short comings. People are so bias and star struck. Jordans teammates really feel disrespected in Jordans Last Dance Documentary.

  23. Scottie KNOWS mj gets way too much credit for the bulls success,while Scottie,Phil,Tex Winter,Jerry Reinsdorf,the league rule changes,their teammates get very little. How can there really be a GOAT in a TEAM SPORT? lmao But if there was a goat,him having a great team for almost a DECADE is not super special,look at the LOGICAL math. Great coach+great player+great team=CHAMPIONSHIP.

  24. Will pray for you brother! You really need professional help, it’s ok to recognize all the pain you been through; family affair-family childhood- plus all this years been in a shadow of Jordan and not franchise player it’s tough, we all know that.. now saying he is the GOAT? I hope Michael can help you economically if you broke.. because that’s why the book is coming I guess? Pippen i totally lost respect for you brother… I had you in a totally different category….. I guess not any more .. that’s my opinion…. Jordan had never said anything bad about you he even said he wouldn’t accomplish anything without you brother…. Bless

  35. It's time to rise up, our system is too fucked up to be repaired.
    OUR ECONOMY: FUCKED
    OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM: FUCKED
    OUR RESOURCES: FUCKED
    OUR POLITICS: FUCKED
    US: FUCKED

    IT'S TIME TO GET OUT THERE AND TAKE DOWN THE GOVERNMENT, ANYONE WHO AGREES SHOULD TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY… ✊🔥

  36. Definitely one of the best. Have seen his win one of those championships. Was def a team effort and team magic. MJ is just known to not be the nicest person, personally…there is the commercial MJ and then the real one.

  37. Honble UPA Chairperson Smt Soniagandhi madum please fight for to implement Ballot Paper voting system in next MP elections in 2024and to save democracy in india and public opinion in favour of Ballot Paper voting system and right to vote is fundamental right.public opinion is foundation of democracy

  39. WAKE UP, YOUR GOVERNMENT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU, YOUR INTERESTS, OR YOUR WELL-BEING…

    For too long have we suffered for our government's reckless actions, for too long have we been mistreated. Our government has locked us up in our own homes for the past 2 years, causing us all to go crazy from isolation, not only that but our economy is failing, our resources are dwindling, and our government is not caring…

    IT IS TIME WE MAKE A STAND, OUR VERY LIVES ARE IN DANGER, WE FACE MASS DEATH IN THE NEAR FUTURE, SOME OF WHICH HISTORY HAS RARELY SEEN…

    I know this may sound dumb, but we would be far better off if the government was taken down. I can assure you, the amount of death would be far greater if we continue to let the government make these reckless actions. Our system is completely ass backwards, and there is no fairness in any of it…

    WE NEED TO DESTROY THE GOVERNMENT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE…

    Rise up people…

  40. Scottie is simply claiming The Greatest of All Time as a team player!I can definitely see that,He understands Mike is in another Realm,then too Scottie has lost alot and feel some kinda way,we have to ask ourselves how we would feel after loosing a son 😢😡😭
