Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan aren’t exactly on the best of terms these days. The two legendary Chicago Bulls have been engaged in a (one-sided) feud since the release of ESPN docuseries "The Last Dance." Pippen didn’t mince words when revealing his displeasure with how the Emmy-winning show turned out, and he apparently hasn’t spoken to Jordan since it aired. The former small forward has chastised his former teammate off and on since 2021, though he’d been relatively quiet in recent months. That’s all changed, though, as he just claimed that Jordan is a “horrible” player. And I'm a bit confused by these comments.

The hall of famer participated in a lengthy interview with the "Gimme The Hot Sauce" podcast, which is hosted by former Chicago Bull Stacey King. During the discussion, King and his co-hosts began chatting about some of the greatest players to ever grace a basketball court. So they naturally asked Scottie Pippen who he believes is the true GOAT of the sport. He ultimately listed LeBron James as the best player from a statistical perspective. With that, Pippen threw shade at His Airness.
