Scottie Pippen embarrasses himself with absurd comment about Michael Jordan
Here is what Pippen had to say about Jordan:
“I'd seen Michael Jordan play before I came to play with the Bulls. You guys have seen him play. He's a horrible player,” Pippen said.
“He was horrible to play with. He was all one-on-one, he's shooting bad shots, and all of a sudden we become a team and we start winning. Everybody forgot who he was.”
Bottom Line – Pippen has officially lost his mind
Just like anyone else, Pippen is 100% entitled to his opinion, but to say Jordan was a “horrible” player is not only laughable, but it is a bit concerning. Either A) Pippen is the biggest Jordan hater on the planet or B) He actually believes what he said, which means he has lost his mind!
