Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.



Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

Scottie Pippen called on Michael Jordan to come back from retirement on March 10, 1995

8 days later, on March 18, 1995, Jordan returned to the Chicago Bulls#NBA#BullsNation pic.twitter.com/C9ljykV0cx

It always has to be an agenda when MJ's peers (Scottie, Isaiah, etc.) call him out for what he is, doesn't it?

Why? Is it because he doesn't want people talking about the Celtics being knocked out?

Presumably, yes. But the point stands on its own.

Seriously.


It's pretty obvious that Pippen's change of opinion is due to something personal, and has nothing to do with reality.



Never mind the dozens of interviews he gave prior to that last one or two where he's pretty emphatic about MJ being the best he's ever seen. I mean, only a troll would 'forget' about all of those interviews . . .

You:

"The opinion of the overwhelming majority of players and coaches (former and current) along with the fans and the media doesn't matter"

Also you:

"The opinion of these 2 blatant haters who happen to agree with me matters though"

You're as bad faith as it gets. Get a life dude.

[staylor26]

Also, I put quotes around "agenda" because that's the word YOU used.

You've already acknowledged that you have an agenda, then you try to play stupid when you're called out for acting in bad faith in order to push said agenda?

Scottie Pippen has been a long-time critic of Michael Jordan, but he threw more fuel on the fire when he said during an interview that Jordan was "horrible to play with.”

"Our game is a team game and one player can't do it," Pippen said

Are you now pretending that Pippen's opinion about the GOAT haven't changed multiple times?

They're blatant haters just because they don't buy into the propaganda myth-making (see the Last Dance for only one example) surrounding MJ and know full well what he actually was in the 80s?

Lol, I've literally watched dozens of clips of Pippen praising MJ as the best to ever do it. Repeatedly. Probably anyone that has ever taken the time to google these things has as well. I'm certain you have. You're just being ridiculously obtuse about it for some reason.

have fun with that.

The opinion can change multiple times while still being a long-time critic of MJ (which he is). Few have the guts to actually stand up and tell the truth about this and he does.
