Though Pippen went on to win six championships with MJ, he still believes it was horrible to play with the latter. Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young did not like this hate from Pippen.?
Young went on to mock the 7-time All-Star with a tweet. The 24-year-old shared, “I thought this was AI generated the way he was hatin’ so hard,” along with some laughing emojis. Clearly, Young did not appreciate Pippen’s take, just like many other fans.?
