Bulls legend Scottie Pippen has weighed in on the “GOAT debate,” and his thoughts might surprise you.
During an appearance on First Take, Pippen said that James is “probably ahead” of his longtime teammate Michael Jordan — at least from the statistical standpoint.
“The numbers don’t lie. He’s right there,” Pippen said. “He probably will never catch him in terms of MVP, but in terms of statistics, LeBron is right there. And when you look across the board—not just scoring—check his assists, check his rebounds … he’s probably ahead of Jordan.”

Scottie too? The guy who was responsible for MJ finally getting over the Pistons hump? Damn, such a betrayal.
