Scottie is just not liked by those he works with. Look at his track record post NBA career with his career in the media.

I'm late to the party but I just found out that Scottie is selling a book. This is all fake news and Scottie probably told MJ about all this and how he was going to sell this months ago. Scottie knows the way the modern media landscape works nowadays. You think anybody cares about a sports book(or anything nowadays)that is respectful and nice and glowing towards everybody. Pippen and MJ are probably laughing behind the scenes about this somewhere.

he could be huge, just not as big as mj, and thats okay.
Pippen just isn't charismatic so being negative and petty is his way to get attention.

Its a shame that Scottie doesn't seem to be able to just sit back and enjoy the accomplishments he achieved in the NBA. Most players would love to have a career on his level.

Rose is a moron which is a known fact and established years ago. It's more disrespectful that people claim anyone but MJ is the GOAT. Now that is lunacy of the highest order yet people actually try to convince others of this. It's akin to claiming someone is a better hockey player than Wayne Gretzky. That is disrespect. Pippen was a damn good two-way player that people almost universally acknowledge him as a top 50 player and one of, if not THE best, perimeter defender ever. Where's the supposed disrespect? This is just silly shock jock b.s. typical from the talking heads in the industry.

i half agree. when he was on the jump he would talk about the game.. like he did a segment on how he would guard harden a couple years ago with that wacky strat and then the bucks did it days later and he had a bad game. he could have been a great coach. His story to get to the nba was one i think he should have shared more because the guys tough as nails. His pod talking trash about current players, and talking about the 90s in less of a haterish way would be very popular since those guys arent really forthcoming about stories like players from the 00s and on eras. I dont think hes a bad guy, he just seems blinded. his son passed, his ex is crazy, idk if ppl remember when she was with some famous guy half her age just to be an ****. the guys not doing well emotional at all.

I understand his issues currently but even on the Jump, he wasn't articulate. He wasn't interesting...I liked his breakdown on how to guard Harden, but I'm on this forum. I like to geek out about basketball ideas. And I think he'd make a great assistant coach in the league. But that doesn't change that if he wants attention and right now, he does. This is his path because he just isn't a guy who can get attention like this otherwise.

I think it's Magic.
People say he couldn't shoot, couldn't defend, and worst of all, they dismiss his accomplishments because he won with an aging all-timer (Kareem), a number one overall pick (Worthy), and an elite role-player (Cooper).
