Former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen has been throwing out some absolutely wild takes lately. He called Phil Jackson a racist, put Kevin Durant on blast, and now, Pippen is calling Michael Jordan selfish for deciding to leave the Bulls to pursue a baseball career in 1993.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the interview, via the Dan Patrick Show:<\/p>\n
“Yeah It was a big decision, but It was a selfish decision, but it was kind of who Michael Jordan was. That was a guy who believed he can do anything on his own”

MJ wouldn\u2019t have won six titles with the Bulls if it wasn\u2019t for Pippen, but to say he was selfish in everything he did is a little bit much. Jordan actually decided to try his hand at baseball because of his late father at the time, who had the dream of MJ playing in the big leagues one day.
\nPippen went on to say that he and Jordan weren\u2019t really anything more than Bulls teammates, claiming the two didn\u2019t really spend a lot of time together off the court.
\nThe glory days in Chicago were certainly centered around MJ, but to be fair, he was the greatest player in the world at the time and is arguably the GOAT. Scottie Pippen clearly has a lot of things on his mind and he\u2019s unloading all of these crazy thoughts in the last week. Nevertheless, tension or not, that Bulls dynasty was something else.<\/p>\n
