It is worth mentioning that NBA star Pippen's remarks are hotly discussed, Pippen listed the top five in his mind, saying: LeBron, Michael, Magic, Abdul-Jabbar, Carl Malone, this lineup is good, many people can score, LeBron, Abdul-Jabbar, Malone are very capable of scoring (top 3 in the scoring list), Jordan and Magic are a backcourt combination. If you asked me to replace one of them, I might replace the Magic with Kobe.
Pippen also said publicly: James is going to be the greatest player in NBA history, and before I joined the Bulls, you all saw Jordan playing, he was a bad player, a bad teammate.
