Scottie Pippen remembers Michael Jordan’s playing career a little differently than most NBA fans.
Pippen said, “I’ve seen Michael Jordan play before I came to the Bulls. You guys have seen him play. He was a horrible player. He was horrible to play with. It was all 1-on-1, shooting bad shots."
He continued, “All of a sudden, we become a team, and we start winning. Everybody forgot who he was. He was a player who was really not at the top of his category. It was scoring.”
“I didn’t win without Scottie Pippen, and that’s why I consider him my best teammate of all time… Whenever they speak Michael Jordan, they should speak Scottie Pippen,” Jordan said in the series, perSI.

Pippen named LeBron James as “the greatest statistical guy to ever play the game of basketball” and added, “There’s no comparison to him, none.”
However, Pippen explained, “I don’t believe there is a greatest player cause our game is a team game. One player can’t do it.”

It wasn’t like we had families that were intertwined. I never knew them.”
