Pippin is an ass….
Not a Lebron fan by any means but at 38 he was amazing last night versus Clippers. The point, if you watch
the 30/30 segment on Jordan's L2 with Washington there's no comparison.
And also a reminder that as good as Pippen was he wasn’t ever an alpha. He proved that by sitting out the playoff game winning play with the Kucoc buzzer beater.Pippen has gotten a lot of heat for the comments he made about Jordan and the Bulls before he got there.
However he has a point, it's nothing about rings, Jordan had become a ball hog because he didn't trust his teammates. When Pippen came on board Jordan's entire mind set changed and the team followed.

General manager Jerry Krause swindled Scottie Pippen.
A seven-year deal for $18 million which will go down as one of the worst contracts in NBA history.
Naw…A great player doesn’t ever pass up the opportunity to compete in that situation. With the season on the line Pippen tapped out. That’s all we need to know what he’s truly made of.I might have sat out that final play, too.
Pippen signed an organization-friendly contract with the Bulls.
At the time (if memory serves), Pippen was the best player on the team but only the sixth-highest paid player on the Bulls roster.
Coach Phil Jackson calling the game-winning play for Toni Kukoc -- and using Scottie as a decoy -- was the last straw for Pippen.
Pippen tapped out because he was tapped out.
I read somewhere that Pippen's horrible contract went from the 16th best in the NBA to the 160th best in the NBA in a matter of a few years.
Here's what Pippen was thinking: You can pay me and respect me, you cannot pay me and respect me, but you CANNOT not pay me and then disrespect me by calling Kukoc's number in a game-winning situation.
A man has to draw the line somewhere.
That was Pips first season to step up and be the alpha…. It was too much for him and he wasn’t up to for itPippen tapped out because he was tapped out.
