Sour grapes?
Jordan was the only reason I ever watched roundball.

Jordan took six teams to NBA titles that would have struggled to reach .500 without him. James needed an all-star cast around him to win his titles. There is no comparison.

"That’s why I always believed LeBron James was the greatest player this game has ever seen — he does everything and embodies what the game is truly about."

And Floppin' Jimmy is the greatest Flopper-Crybaby around, too.

Well, Mike didn’t want to pass — didn’t want to rebound,

Uhh, does he remember that along with Jordan, those Bulls teams had the greatest rebounder in NBA History with Dennis Rodman?

MJ is head and shoulders above Labron in every way. How Scottie puts him above MJ, “embodies what the game is truly about” is ridiculous. The game is about teamwork, excellence, role model - none of that describes BLMLabron.

This from a guy who refused to play the final 1.8 seconds of a playoff game because the coach Phil Jackson drew the play up for Tony Kukoc to take the last shot. Pippen was pouting and didn’t want to be involved with the play. Well, Jackson refused to change the play and Kukoc made the game winning shot.

When I was a young kid in the early 90s, every kid knew who Michael Jordan was. It didn’t matter if you liked basketball or not.

Pippen is the Sulu to Jordans Captain Kirk.

Back in June, he said Phil Jackson was racist.

"Scottie’s just trying to sell books," Barkley said.

Yeah, but there are ways to do that without making yourself look like like an ass. Pippen's fate was to be Robin to Jordan's Batman - no amount of griping will ever change that.

So Scottie? How many rings would you have right now if it were not for Michael Jordan? That’s right, one. And it wouldn’t be on your finger - it would be on the bathtub.

Sour grapes. Jordan took the NBA's popularity to an all-time high.

It's LeChina James and his fellow woketards that have ruined basketball.

Scottie still has butthurt over his bankruptcy and wants to sell books so he can fix his car up to pass inspection.

Jordan was all defense team 9 times and defensive player of the year once, averaged over 5 assist per game and 6 rebounds a game. Talk about sour grapes

Anybody remember Jordan’s first 3 - 4 years in the league? Gaudy stats but the Bulls couldn’t seem to figure out the best way to use him until they got to a coach who basically decided to unshackle him.

There were other factors at play, of course. The dominance of Detroit. The continuing play of the Lakers & Celtics. These were obstacles to the emergence of that Bulls team as well.

Michael Jordan carried those bulls teams on his shoulders.

Pippen ‘looked’ good becasue he played with Jordan

Jordan took a break from basketball. The team looked to Pippen. Pippen failed

Pippen is a bitter no talent

I've never been a hoops fan, but I used to like Mike because of his answer when axed by a "reporter" why he never got involved with politics, "Republicans buy tennis shoes, too".

Way back before cancel culture, Mike was smart enough to know he was a shoe selling hoops player, and it doesn't pay to piss off half of the country.
