?You Can Leave?: Despite Being Labeled a ?Horrible? Teammate by Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan?s Elite Mentality Receives Words of Praise From Former Bulls Player

Michael Jordan. While we can debate his ways, his competitive nature is unquestionable. And the results? Perfect. While many argue against him, most notably Scottie Pippen, a former Bulls player has come out in Jordan’s support.

Earlier in the week, Scottie Pippen had some “hot takes” for the NBA world. Speaking on Stacey King’s podcast, Pippen really laid into Mike. While Jordan has remained silent on the matter, Scott Williams finally came out to his aid.

Michael Jordan is an inspiration

While many have taken shots at Jordan over the years, the adulation for him isn’t unwarranted. And now, we have another story from Scott Williams, of Jordan’s urge and competitive fire inspiring all comers. Scott, on the Legends Lounge podcast, detailed the story. Jordan, true to form, called anyone not willing to compete hard, to leave the gym. He said, “[Michael Jordan] addressed everybody that was there and said, if you’re not here to compete and compete hard, there’s the door, you can leave.”

Moreover, Scott further revealed how everyone was in shock. After Jordan’s speech in the locker room, he says, “Everyone looked at each other like, Is he serious? I mean, we’re not getting paid for this, are we? “ Holding command over the locker room, Scott’s story was yet another example of how Jordan was always hungry to win.

Perhaps adding to the legend, Steph Curry in his pregame speech to the Warriors before Game 7, said something very similar. While some try to call Jordan’s approach too hard-nosed, the reigning Finals MVP disagrees.

Scottie’s shots at Jordan

Scottie Pippen’s constant hot takes are well-known at this point. One of the greatest players the game has seen, Scottie is definitely entitled to his own opinion. Appearing on the Stacey King podcast, Pippen ripped into Mike.

Detailing his argument, Scottie called Jordan a horrible player before his arrival, and a horrible teammate. While Jordan averaged 37.1 points the year before and was runner up for MVP, Pippen’s arguments had a different basis. Citing his playstyle and his shoot-happy mentality, Pippen criticized Jordan as a teammate.

“He was all one-on-one. He’s shooting bad shots… “, Scottie said. Doubling down, he even seemed to take credit for the team’s success, alluding to their success once he arrived and they “became a team. “

While Pippen’s arguments might seem true by some metrics, what are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments.
