Jerry West On Friendship With Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen's Recent Comments 

Jerry West is 85... 85! And still razor sharp. Gotta admire this dude and what he's done for the game .

I think Jerry West is the perfect logo, grounded, with immense love for the game, and humble ....

MJ was an alien. To throw on top of the fact he had freakish athleticism, insane work ethic, huge hands, the man didn’t get tired!! Magic and Larry said he it seemed like he didn’t sleep during the ‘92 Olympics. The GOAT in any era.

The golfing during the day and dropping 40-50 points in the evening is such an insane fact about MJ! I know people in pretty good shape that end up quite tired/sore after playing 18 holes of golf, to do it after playing a full 36 is bonkers!

Wow he is 85 and he doesn’t even act like it. That is amazing

Lot of people don't realize that Jerry West was the GOAT Shooting Guard before MJ. And for a lot of people, he's still top 3 Shooting Guards.

How can you not like Jerry West? Humility at its finest & the podcast is great. Just came across it and subscribed. PG let’s his guest talk.

I did not know MJ and Jerry hang out at least once a year for a few days. That's pretty cool. They're both country boys: West Virginia and North Carolina. They love golf.

I think when Scottie's son died it introduced him to a totally different world of pain and regret. And I think he took it out on those who he gave his all to because it didn't save him from the fall of losing his son. And I think there was confusion there on how to figure out his life going forward. He was probably searching for a sense of happiness and realized at that moment that nothing could bring happiness so he convinced himself that everything was bad.

This man is a living legend, so so crucial to the game of basketball and sports in general! God bless him!

Fun fact) Jerry’s daughter in law is Michelle Wie, a former professional LPGA golfer with a major win (US Open) and multiple tour wins

It's pretty sad to watch MJ and Scottie's relationship deteriorate. But at least they're feuding now instead of during the time they're winning championships.

I love you, Jerry West. Thank you for working with my Clippers! I know we haven't won shit. We're always injured. But I'm glad you enjoy working with us.

“I don’t think I should answer that” even the logo himself wouldn’t give Mike a chance to take it personal 🤔😅

I love this pod cast! Great job by PG🙏🏾 and god bless the logo Jerry West!

Crazy he’s 85 he doesn’t seem that old tbh

THE LOGO. His wisdom and laid backness makes him my favs. I know he got stories for days.

Jerry West! Alot of respect for this man. Huge fan!

As much as I love MJ, Jerry West is the ultimate logo. One of the greatest NBA players, as well as one of the greatest execs/managers. He's the blueprint for being involved with the league from start to finish.

I get Jerry’s bewilderment over Pippen’s comments. To me, Scottie’s behavior is rooted in old animosities - not specifically about MJ necessarily, but about his contracts, the last 5 seconds sit down, etc. I think he has a very thin skin and felt dissed by The Last Dance.

You can tell PG got a deep respect for Jerry West….

Jerry West, always a class act

I NEED A D.ROSE POD PLEASE

I love you Kobe!!!!

Jerry West for President!

Fun fact: the iconic NBA logo, that is a silhouette of Jerry West during a game.

The NBA should never ever change the logo from Mr. West. Hes such a great personification of the sport of basketball.

The top 75 was such a magical moment for basketball fans some of the best players in the WORLD are asking what was it like in the room just like the rest of us! Wow. Sometimes you forget that PG is just a fan like you and me. I’m gonna tell my grandkids about that too 75 moment. I saw Bill Russell with my own eyes. I got to see the smile that started show time. And I saw HIM. The GOAT. And people are right. He floats. He has an aura. Whatever you want to call it Michael is just not like the rest of us 😂😂😂😂

Liked past tense

PG is WORKING

Pg humble attitude mskes the show work

They better keep Jerry West as the LOGO of the league. He's of everythjng you want as an NBA player. Honestly.

Maybe somebody wouldn't accept the call 😢

This right here is how you age.

I literally grew up watching both from day 1, and MJ since McDonald's & PanAm games. It was evident Scottie could be a beast, as a rookie, but to watch those guys grow up together, as NBA players, lose Oak, get Grant & Phil, grow beyond their career long Detroit & Boston handicaps, and win 3 straight Championships?!? Man, Shaq + Penny was exclusively built because Mike had "arrived" by 1988, and Pippen was coming. Pippen reached his point of positional dominance, and held it for a decade. Grant Hill was a challenger, but he got injured. It's unheard of for a SG & SF duo to go 6-0 in the finals, with both being the best at their positions, worldwide, nearly the entire time. I think we're forgetting the root causes for Pippen's recent...uh...difficulties? The segment in The Last Dance where Scottie's CONTRACT decisions damaged him. He never got paid his true value, in Chicago. He got his 1st BIG MONEY after the 1996-98 3-peat; after Their Last Dance. This, with everyone in the house on lockdown, and he was still getting buzz about Future & Larsa. Bad timing, and both sore spots. Prior to the documentary in the pandemic, they were good. It started getting bad with the Future stuff putting his private stuff in the streets, then MJ spoke on his money being short because of his business decisions being attached to his view of his family condition. He rushed into a bad contract because it made things better right now, yet things were already under control & rushing to sign a lowball offer was a mistake for the best player at his position & multi-championship winner. It rubbed him the wrong way, and he's yet to recover.

Jerry had a classy take on Scottie losing his mind

Yeah I think ima roll with Gabe and KCP

Thats a funny pic with a all the former lakers and lil Isiah trying to sneak in lmao

Its just unbelievable that the great jerry west is 85 years old

Logo!

let scottie speak his piece ... agree or disagree.

During 30 years, pippen said only great things about MJ. Since the last dance everything changed

He created a lot of championship teams.

Podcast P has a Problem with Paul's Plosives

I don't think there were many bonds in that great Bulls team. Just great players that worked well together, with a great coach who was a terrific man-manager. They even left Luc Longley out of 'The Last Dance' completely. ....like the dude had nothing to do with their titles....They had great defensive and offensive players, but I don't think for a second that they were a close team....

Scottie doesn’t get his respect it’s plain and simple

MJ son is knocking down Scotties ex wife now would explain a lot

Imo it’s become toxic when the 🐐 debates come up. Because what I’ve noticed is that MJ Stan’s want to give as little to no credit to Scottie when in reality Scottie was a top 5 player in his prime.

Portland was a C-H away from beating the Laker and winning the chip. If they don’t fold - Scottie has 7. That would have made these kind of conversations more interesting.

Why was melo there?

I honestly hope they never change the NBA logo.

I always enjoyed the way Paul played, but after listening to him on this podcast I really like the guy. That dude at the end needs to stop clowning and trying so hard. He's cringe.

Pippen is petty and that seems to be the root of a lot of how he deals with things. I mean, I get that him and the Bulls were not seeing eye to eye, but to delay surgery and take a "vacation" on company's time but taking into account that you are in a historical run and a team game, that's quite selfish and petty. The Bulls front office was effing up everybody, not just him. There was also the time that he got pissed because he wanted to take the last shot and that went over his head ABOVE winning. It's clear that he has some issues.

The fact that Melo made the top 75 team over Dwight Howard, one of the best rim protectors and bigs the game has ever seen, who actually impacted winning is pathetic.

Scottie isn’t jealous of Michael, the documentary “The Last Dance” threw Scottie under the bus and Michael son Marcus is dating Scotties ex-wife who is the mother of Scotties kids

Lol Jerry knows MJ>>> Lebron

MJ undoubtedly is maybe the greatest NBA player to ever play the game. But let's face it, you can't go through a career rubbing some people the wrong way and expect them to sing your praises. Some just aren't built that way. As fans, we only see the games played on the court. Its the games off the court that we don't see that tell a different story. So, I cannot knock anybody who actually played with somebody for whatever feelings or personal bias they may have or feel about that person.

Jerry West was a scratch or plus player for years. No way Jordan ever beat him straight up.

He ain’t telling NO stories lol he is smooth with it! Lol MJ got everyone on lips on lock lol

I used to like Jerry West, then he told me he eats dogs. Now I'm on the fence.

They know not to say nothing bad about MJ, they seen what happened to Barkley, he cut his ass off completely 😂

Can you imagine Jordan , Kobe or even Malone taking out so much time to consistently do a PODCAST while still playing in the nba . That’s why this dude has no ring ..🤦🏾‍♂️ should be practicing

Attacking MJ stop it!

That top 75 list need a serious redo

People need to stop acting like they don't know why he upset Jordan been shitin on him his whole career even after retirement 🤣

What went wrong with MJ and Pip relationship... simple, MJ Son and Pip Ex Wife doing it up😅

The only acceptable player that deserves to be the logo after jerry is Kobe

This is why nobody is listening to Pippen lol. The way he’s talking sht to Jordan nowadays is like a fan who DESPERATELY wants Lebron to be the GOAT. And he would do anything to change Jordan’s legacy. Even to the point of being insane and delusional. The way he’s trashing Jordan is sad, you almost feel pity for him. Add in the fact that just a few years ago, he was saying nothing but praises for Jordan. This is like, let’s say for example, DWade became insane and start talking sht about Lebron’s career. Downplaying all his achievements. Would you believe him? Absolutely not. You would think DWade is high and needs help mentally. That’s what’s happening with Pippen nowadays.

People acting dumb like they don’t know why Scottie acting like this. This man mj disrespected that man on his documentary.

We all know Kawhi and PG can be great but they're never both healthy and playing

Boricua Hispanic Indian n black Iam.. jordan was a great player . But Pippen was more talent Phil Jackson say that pippen have each players the skills. The problem is the way you acting to other players, Pippen like to help his teammates went Jordan try to pushing to be better player. But Pippen was like a teacher n Steve Kerr say that. Horace say Pippen was very friendly to hem n they act like brother.pippen teammates love hem . Went Jordan punch in the face to steve kerr , say to horace he was a trash player. Tim Duncan was special player you have to be like tim Duncan he love his teammates. If you want to win championship, you teammates is your helper. I have Jordan card n i love his game but how you are with other people. If you have money n power but not have love you don't have nothing like the Bible says. I like shaq O'Neill he help many people that love . Pippen have some problem his son die his ex wife acting like little girl n go out with jordan son. If they do it to you how you feel . Just think.

Scottie’s going through it in his personal life, and the interviewer is trash for not bringing that up

People forget Michael fucked Scottie in his documentary. It wasn’t necessary to do that to a teammate that you won so much. Michael always gets a pass for everything
