Recently, former Bulls legend Scottie Pippen called Michael Jordan a horrible player. Not only that – he even claimed that MJ was horrible to play with, leading to backlash from fans around the league.
Scott Williams, a former Bulls player, recently joined the Roc and Manuch Show with Jimmy B. Williams played for the Chicago Bulls for the first four years in the league. He won three NBA championships with the team in their first three-peat.
So, it was natural for the hosts to ask Williams about his views on Scottie Pippen?s recent comments regarding MJ. To that, Williams said, ?I?m dumbfounded, flabbergasted, and any other adjective that you wanna throw in there.?
?I like to stay away from these heavyweights, these Hall of Famers when they get into tiffs. I love both of those guys. Scottie Pippen was a great teammate, Michael Jordan, a different style of teammate and motivator.?
As the conversation went on, Williams also added, ?It does hurt my heart because it?s the 30th anniversary of what would?ve been the first three-peat, the first dance if you would allow me that.?
