On February 7, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. One former NBA star who has caught media and fan attention this season is The Bulls' six-time champion Scotty Pippen.
Dissatisfied with his image in Jordan's Last Dance and in order to promote his new book, Pippen repeatedly publicly attacked Jordan, describing him as a selfish and arrogant guy and saying that he and Jordan were the same level of stars.
Recently, former Bulls star and Knicks star Charles Oakley publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Pippen, saying: "Pippen thinks he is more important than Jordan and others, and he has to take more action than Rodman and Cole." I think Rodman and Cole did as much as Pippen. ”
For Pippen's attack on Jordan, Oakley bluntly said that these had nothing to do with the field: "I think these (contradictions) originate off the field! ”
O'Keli then said: "Pippen can have his own opinion, but when everyone calls Jordan GOAT and you're not in the top 25 in history, it's hard to say you're playing better than others." Pippen is no better than James, so my opinion is that Pippen got a lot of potential technical levels in James. But I don't remember Pippen averaging more than 20 points per game, and maybe he had a season in his career. I love Pippen, but it's hard to say he's better than Jordan! ”
It should be noted that Oakley did misremember, in Pippen's 17-season career, he averaged more than 20 points per game in four seasons, but his total score ranked only 64th in NBA history.
In any case, jordan and Pippen's break is very regrettable, after all, the invincible Bulls dynasty is a good memory for many fans.
