Scotty Pippen was furious about what happened at the last ball and by Michael Jordan, he wrote in his upcoming autobiography a few days later.
A few days before the release of his book About His Life, Unguarded, Scott Pippen was publishing excerpts from the hottest chapters with great fanfare about what he did to Michael Jordan!
A year ago, Espn's documentary "The Last Dance" was filmed and screened, which upset Pippen. He wasn't just complaining about Jordan, he was saying, "He would never have been who he is without us around him." ”
All of this happened a few months after Phil Jackson's claim that he was a racist was published, a claim that was mentioned on last summer's world tour.
"Michael sent me a message, we didn't talk much. I heard you're mad at me. I want to talk to you when you have time. He said. Soon after, I told him to talk to me the next day. Michael was right because of the last dance and I was mad at him. In the last two episodes, all the credits went to him and no one bothered me and our teammates. The producer put him in control of the product. I'm expecting more and I can't wait to see it because I know it has rare lenses.
Jordan wants to prove to his contemporaries that he is greater than life itself, and certainly greater than LeBron James, a player that many consider equal. So Michael showed his story, not the team's story. Espn sent me the first eight episodes a few weeks before the documentary's release. I saw them with my son in Southern California and I couldn't believe my eyes. Ultimately, I believed what I saw. I spend a lot of time with him, I know, and I don't expect anything different.
Over the next few weeks, I talked to several of my former teammates who also felt he didn't respect them. We've done so much for Michael and his brand, how dare Michael treat us like that? Without us, there would be no Michael Jordan. I'm not saying he's not going to be a superstar, he's impressive, but we did it as a team and we won six titles in eight years, to a level that only Muhammad Ali can reach. Plus, he shot ten million, and we didn't have a penny. For a whole season, our lives were full of cameras. ”
