After Snubbing Michael Jordan, Ex-Bulls Teammate Defends Scottie Pippen’s Brutal Remark With Bizarre “Pandemic” Claim

The relationship between once Chicago Bulls teammates Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen has been tense in recent years. Despite their great camaraderie together, the NBA champions have been on opposite ends since their docuseries, The Last Dance, hit the screens.

While many rest their opinions on Jordan, a three-time NBA winner, who sided with Pippen before, has argued over their tumultuous relationship. Find out how he talks about the pandemic’s impact on Pippen’s mind.

Former Chicago Bulls player speaks out on his teammates

In the latest episode of the, That’s F***ed Up Podcast, former Bull’s champ John Salley made some controversial statements on the Scottie Pippen-Michael Jordan saga. He shared his surprise at Scottie’s words, saying, “What the f**k is Scotty talking about?” This comes after Scottie once claimed that Kobe Bryant is better than Jordan.

Previously Sally has also claimed that Scottie Pippen is the most talented player that he has ever played with. However, this claim has left many fans agitated. Most of the basketball world still thinks of Michael Jordan as the best player to set foot on the basketball court.

Ever since The Last Dance documentary came out, Scottie has been very vocal against it. Salley also said that Phil Jackson gave the last shot to Tony, leaving Scottie on the bench, which was the turning point for him. And this was the reason for his falling out with the team. Salley’s statement was to support Scottie’s viewpoint, but instead, it has left many fans wondering if there is more to the story.

Salley also talked about the changes in Pippen’s sentiments. He also talked about the “pandemic” and its impact on people’s views. He said that the Last Dance documentary came during the pandemic when people felt very vulnerable, including a certain Pippen.

The pandemic reference from Sally has raised eyebrows. This could indeed be the reason for the sudden shift in Scottie’s perspective. But many others think that he is just trying to make Michael Jordan look bad. Sally has also commented on Larsa Pippen dating Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus.

While Salley’s intention was to support his former teammate, the controversy continues. This is leaving fans and analysts with differing opinions on the matter.
