Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan have a long history together before Larsa Pippen found love with Michael’s son.
Scottie Pippen has made his disdain for Michael Jordan known multiple times over the years and it’s shocking each and every time he does it.
Legendary basketball star Bill Walton is just one person who is speaking out on it.
“I’m shocked and dismayed and those words are not strong enough to relate my feelings as the way that Scottie Pippen treats Michael Jordan,” Walton said Friday on “Scoop B Radio.”
“It was a remarkable privilege and honor to have that position and to witness the greatness of that team. I’m a team guy. I love the team game. That’s why I’m super happy with what happened with the Denver Nuggets.”
Last month, Scottie stated Jordan was a “horrible player” who was “horrible to play with.”
“Our game is a team game, and one player can’t do it,” Pippen said.
“I’ve seen Michael Jordan play before I came to play with 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. And all of a sudden, we become a team and we start winning. Everybody forgot who he was.”
While Jordan is known for his fierce competitive nature, Pippen said the young Jordan’s passion was for scoring, not winning.

“He was a player that, really, winning wasn’t at the top of his category,” Pippen said.
Between 1990 and 1998, the Chicago Bulls won six NBA championships, in arguably the greatest run in North American sports history. The only two years the Bulls didn’t win the title was when Michael Jordan tried and failed to play baseball.
Pippen credited Bulls coach Phil Jackson with bringing the team together to win all those titles.
The way Jordan holds a grudge, these two are unlikely to speak are come together as one ever again. For Scottie, he has to continue to deal with his hurt as his ex-wife, Larsa Pippen, is now dating the son of Michael Jordan, Marcus.
