I was as great a player as Michael Jordan

“I just want to let people know and set the record straight that I was as great a player as Michael Jordan,” Pippen said. “Only one player can take home the MVP, and that’s that.”

Has this guy gone crazy?

[Full Court]

Lol. Scottie's just as delusional as the Lebron crowd that post on here.

[SouBeachTalents]

He could very well believe that, but he is trying to sell a book. Sadly in today’s 24/7 news cycle it takes someone saying some stupid shit to make headlines, which is essentially the platform of all those ESPN debate shows.

I wanted to buy and read his book. No longer getting it. He will say anything to sell his book and it’s making him look pathetic and desperate.

As soon as MJ left, Pippen's prime left too lol

Yeah, had nothing to do with injuries and age at all. Nope.

Yes, Pipp's probably got an account here on ISH and has bought into all the love he gets here.

Since we are acknowledging age and injuries now, explain to your buddies why MJ didn't reach the playoffs in Washington or why The 2013 Lakers didn't reach the finals.

I try to tell them but they don't listen. Maybe they listen to you!

Some more comments that have emerged:

"I was done, pretty much," Pippen said. "I mean -- I struggled to pull it through in that game and I suffered from it, still suffering from it but I wouldn't have played in a Game 7, I just wasn't able to go. I knew on Saturday that I probably had one game left in me, and the start of that game I got a dunk early in the game and got banged a little by [Karl] Malone. That really put me back on my heels throughout that whole game, where I was running back to the locker room, [to get] cortisone, whatever kind of medication I could get in me, heat pack, whatever to try to carry on. I definitely was not able to play a Game 7."

Isola asked Pippen whether his Game 6 return wasn't talked about enough, and Pippen responded "Well, I don't see many bad back games, but I do see flu games." Pippen then added a flippant "come on" to throw extra fuel into the fiery rivalry he's built with Jordan, who played Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals with a stomach virus or food poisoning.

Pippen is right again.

I’ve never lost in the NBA Finals

From calling Phil a racist...because the last play wasn't drawn up for him...to now claiming he's as great as Jordan.

Talk about flying off the handle

Pippen's got delusions of grandeur.

He's just trying to create controversy to sell books. It's smart tbh.
