The Chicago Bulls were known for their high-flying star Michael Jordan, but Scottie Pippen also played a crucial role on the team. However, Pippen often felt overshadowed by Jordan and believed that coach Phil Jackson favored Jordan too much. Pippen wanted Jackson to run specific plays for him, like he did for other players.
He saw this as a lack of respect and it strained his relationship with Jordan. Pippen’s resentment towards Jordan and Jackson may have been fueled by the documentary “The Last Dance,” where he revealed untold stories and made outrageous claims. This eventually led to Pippen refusing to play in a crucial game. Despite this, Phil Jackson still coached the team to victory but never fully trusted Pippen again.
