Pippen denies LeBron James and Michael Jordan from GOAT status

Scottie Pippen has made some controversial statements in recent times. However, many felt that saying LeBron was the greatest may have been disrespectful to Jordan. While there can be changes in one’s opinion, it seems that Scottie now believes no player in basketball can be termed as the greatest. He thinks there are only great teams with outstanding individuals.

Pippen said: “I said there’s no there’s no greatness in a team sport. Let me get that clear. There’s no greatest in baseball, there’s no greatest in football, there’s no greatest in basketball. There may be a greatest in golf. And maybe a greatest in tennis. And maybe some other individual sports. But in team sports, there are great teams. And there are outstanding individuals, but that don’t make them the greatest.”

Pippen believes only individual sports can have one greatest player because it is a solo effort. But when it comes to team sports, the team’s effort is what gets the job done. While that may be a point, an individual can play a big role in the team’s success. And, both Michael Jordan and LeBron James are great examples of that as they were the major reason their team could win.
