Scottie Pippen, the Chicago Bulls’ six-time champion alongside Michael Jordan, believes Kobe Bryant was better than “MJ,” reviving the eternal debate about the greatest NBA player of all time.
The video went a little unnoticed when it went online on April 6. She strangely resurfaced in recent days after the end of the documentary “The Last Dance”. Interviewed by Thuzio media, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan’s former teammate, felt that Kobe Bryant was a better player than “MJ”, reigniting the eternal debate about the best NBA player of all time. And for him, it’s not Michael Jordan.
“Damn, he was better than Michael Jordan”
“Kobe was a very smart guy and he was trying to be the best,” he said. I really hate that he wasn’t told how great he was. He tried to be as strong as Michael Jordan. When I watch his videos, I think, ‘Damn, he was better than Michael Jordan.’ He said: worked so hard. That kid came out of high school. He didn’t play for North Carolina under Dean Smith (a highly regarded coach at the university where Jordan turned out).
Huge audience success, the ESPN documentary about Michael Jordan’s career, seems to have left a legacy on many of the Bulls superstar’s teammates. Last week, Horace Grant denounced the documentary’s lies while Scottie Pippen, the most famous of them, expressed his anger at the way it was described. But these statements about Kobe Bryant had come long before the episodes aired.
Kobe Bryant died on January 26 in the crash of the helicopter carrying him and eight other passengers, including his daughter Gianna.
