Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen played pivotal roles in transforming the Chicago Bulls into one of the most successful franchises in NBA history. However, behind the scenes, their relationship was not as harmonious as many might expect.
Pippen discussed this dynamic in a recent interview, revealing that, despite their shared accolades and accomplishments, there was a noticeable lack of friendship between them. However, NBA historian Jacon recently exposed Pippen on social media for allegedly lying about never being friends with Jordan. He referenced a video from the documentary “The Last Dance” as evidence.
“I think Pippen is lying about never being friends with Michael, but I am not surprised if it were true. Mike knew to get the best out of everyone, he would have to be the villain at times. He talked about this PERFECTLY in The Last Dance.” Jacon wrote in his recent post on X (formerly Twitter).
