In the history of the NBA, Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan have been one of the most dynamic duos. They won championships together, and have widely been regarded as NBA powerhouses. The second episode of Michael Jordan’s Documentary “The Last Dance” features Pippen talking about Jordan giving him golf clubs. However, in Pippen’s mind, it wasn’t the best gesture, as Jordan wants something else. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200714160225/thelastdance.jpg] ACCORDING TO SCOTTIE PIPPEN, JORDAN GAVE HIM SOME GOLF CLUBS SO THAT HE COULD CON HIM Pippen shared a story in which he mentioned that Jordan bought Pippen golf clubs in one of the episodes of the documentary that was about the Chicago Bulls’ 1997-98 season. The NBA legend discussed his relationship with ‘His Airness’ in a recent GQ interview. “Michael was bigger than the game, you know. Even my initial arrival to Chicago he was a big, iconic figure for the NBA.” Scottie Pippen [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1268537286.jpg]Former NBA star Scottie Pippen talks with the media as NBA Golden State Warriors hold practice in downtown Oakland, Ca.on Fri.

(Photo by Michael Macor/San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images) Here is an extract from page XXIII of the prologue of Scottie Pippen’s memoir “Unguarded”: “When I was a rookie in 1987, Michael gave me a set of Wilson golf clubs. He was inviting me into his sanctuary away from basketball. Except I was too naïve to realize it. It didn’t help that I was having serious problems with my back. My doctor didn’t mince words: “Don’t play golf if you want to have a basketball career.” Even though Pippen didn’t appreciate Jordan’s gift, many NBA fans viewed it as a sweet gesture. Pippen has addressed several topics in his books related to the 90s with the Bulls, especially with Jordan. In the documentary, Pippen discussed Jordan as being a superstar, stating he is bigger than all the superstars in sports. As he mentioned, Jordan gifted him a golf club when he was a rookie. “He was trying to lure me in so he could take all my money,” “Pippen said with a laugh.
