Scotty Pippen was furious with Michael Jordan for the documentary The Last Dance released by Espn, who recounts his thoughts on Michael Jordan's actions in an excerpt from the hottest chapter of his upcoming autobiography Unguarded.
Pippen said, "After the screening of Espn's documentary 'The Last Dance', it made him uneasy", and he wasn't just complaining about Jordan, he also said, "He would never have been the Michael Jordan he is today without us by his side." ”
All of this, a few months after Phil Jackson's claim that he was a racist, was mentioned on last summer's world tour.
According to Pippen's description, Michael sent him a message, "I heard you're mad at me, and I'd like to talk to you if I have time." Soon after, Pippen tells Michael that he can talk the next day, and Pippen says that Michael Jordan guessed correctly, because in "The Last Dance" he is very angry with Michael, in the last two episodes, all the honors belong to Michael, no one cares about Pippen and his teammates, and the merchants only find Michael.
Pippen also recounted that Jordan wanted to prove to the present that he was greater than life itself, and certainly greater than LeBron James, who was recognized by many as equal players. So Michael only shows his own story, not the team's story. Espn, who sent the first eight episodes to Pippen a few weeks before the documentary's release, was seen in Southern California and couldn't believe his eyes after watching it.
In the weeks that followed, Pippen also talked to a few former teammates, and the teammates also felt that Michael did not respect them, and everyone paid so much for Michael and his brand, how could Michael treat his teammates like this? Without them there would be no Michael Jordan, not that he would not become a superstar, he did impress, but mainly because of this excellent team to achieve six championships in eight years, to a height that only Muhammad Ali can reach, in addition, Michael got ten million, and our teammates did not get a penny,
Pippen also said he can't wait for his book to come out, because there are many things in the book that are not known to the world.
