Stephen A Smith Reveals What Michael Jordan Secretly Told Him About Scottie Pippen Shocking Betrayal 

I'll tell you how good Michael Jordan was. He was so good they literally made a docu-series about his last season with the bulls and it got more eyeballs than any NBA finals today and it gets talked about more and has been more relevant than anything going on in the NBA in the last 15 to 20 years

Here's the thing that nobody ever talks about nobody including Michael Jordan himself made money over the Last Dance documentary. All that money went to charity

I remember like it was today, the video where pippen was sitting in the bench and he had his sneakers forward with the Jordan logo on the sole and he pointed his finger to the logo and then said "come back". I miss that nba, those bulls and the rest of the teams. Best era of all time.

I think the only reason Scottie was in the Last Dance because he was looking for a payday, plus to be relevant. He said he wants to be remembered as the greatest of all time. I heard reports that MJ donated the $ from the documentary to charity. MJ is the Goat. His greatest superpower is his silence.

When the owner of the team tells you not to sign the contract that’s usually a good sign not to sign lol

That’s the “he’s dead to me” moment. We’ve all been there with somebody at some point

Stephen A just loves to say "I know MJ" he says that every chance he gets lol. It is crazy how so many people got all this yapping towards MJ and MJ just remains silent talk about a man 100% comfortable with who he is. That doesn't mean he's a Saint or perfect or anything like that, it simply means MJ knows who he is and is at least content with who he is which is something Scottie...and many others have not been able to reach

6 championships, 3 back to back twice and never went to game 7 If MJ is a bad teammate, I’d love to have a bad teammate Might hurt your feelings but will carve your name in history

I used to respect Scottie before he started trashing MJ and Phil. Scottie did more to damage his reputation than anyone else. The last dance didn’t make me think any less of him even with the flaws it pointed out. And the part about not giving condolences to Jordan when his dad passed is about as low as you can get. It really shows what poor character Scottie has. He owes everything he ever did in the NBA to MJ and Phil.

One-sided friendships are always painful.

Pippen is the GOAT of ungrateful jealous teammates. Scottie, do not blame Jordan for your life's terrible decisions.

30.4 ppg, 10.7 apg, 9.2 rpg, 2.4 spg - Jordan's numbers as a point guard in 88-89 for 24 games. In one 11 game stretch had a triple double in 10 of his 11 games. But nah, it just "wasn't in his nature."

if someone tells me something secretly. ima tell the world. - steven a smith. lol

Jealousy of being robin to the greatest player of all time i can understand where scottie is coming from, but at the same time jordan gave the glory always to scottie and his teammates even though the spotlight was always on him.

Jealousy is real and it is dangerous

I can remember this time in, I think, 1990 when Scottie decided to challenge Michael one day in practice,” Hodges said. “Michael kind of backed up for a half-second. Then he proceeded, literally, to score on Scottie at will. It was incredible. I mean, Scottie Pippen even then was one of the best players in the league and Michael just rained points on him. Scottie had to step back and say, ‘Slow up, man.'” Scottie was never on Mike's level!

Scotty had 3 times to show he was the greatest. When MJ left the first time when he went to Houston an when he went to Portland he couldnt get it done without MJ

Scottie had many opportunities to show the world he could be the #1 guy and failed every time.

Scottie takes "Passive Aggressive" 2 a WHOLE NEW LEVEL! 😂

MJ could have and in fact did average a triple double during the stint where he played point guard under Doug Collins. His passing and rebounding during those games was comparable to Magic’s and Bird’s. There was nothing that Michael couldn’t do on the basketball court.

This goes to show a person can rock with you for years both be envious of you the whole time. To not offer your condolences to his father, is another level of lowness.

What’s the most egregious and upsets me when people say Jourdan‘s dad? “passed away” is that he didn’t pass away. He was murdered in cold blood! It’s one thing if your 90-year-old pops kicks the bucket from just being old. It’s another thing when your dad who still relatively in his prime and is a dad that by all means was a great father, and someone that you looked up to and was there at all your games was murdered. Not send your condolences to your teammate and that kind of situation is beyond reproach

Finally the truth...Charles Barkley said it, as well as others jealous over Jordan's wealth..Jordan won off the court as well as on the court...even when he won his court case against Dominic grocery store..he donated every penny to Chicago charity..

If what Stephen A. Smith said is true, this proves MIchael Jordan is a gentleman to the end. He did not bad mouth anyone even after the truth came out. Saying “Hope it was worth it” says more about Jordan’ s character and how he was raised by his parents. You are my GOAT MJ!!!

Pippen has the same symptoms lebron has jealousy 😂

I truly believe that at some point, we will hear a similar story between Steph and Draymond, after their careers.

Where’s the docu-series about Lebron on that Balco Juice? 😂🤣

Jordan is greater than LeBron James easily and the main reason is James panic's in close games Jordan is just cool and assured about what he wants to do simple that's what separates the two players every player can pass rebound steel block and score but not every player can be calm in tight situations period

Why is SAS always telling a private conversation he had someone. That's just so crazy in order to be relevant and stay important. Quit telling people I know so and so and so personally

If the kids are “Done with the 90’s” they also need to be done with using our style and slang including calling us LBJ “haters” “Haters” is our slang so they need to make up their own terms. Just a thought

I remember the No-Tippin Pippen days.

Pippen was a bench player when they won their first playoff series. Those of us old enough remember the migraine and remember when the Pistons used to punk Pippen. The league was way more physical back then.

Scottie had a chance to enhance his legacy had he won with Portland the year they lost to Shaq and Kobe

its crazy how scottie thinks the last dance made him look bad. its things that actually happened. i dont look at scottie as a lesser player even MJ said point blank...without scottie there is no 6 rings. thats the best compliment the guy can give you.

If you want to get an idea of Scottie’s mindset listen to Boosie’s “Hypnotized By Hate” clip. That’s Scottie 💯 all the way, without the violence.

i try to ignore all this drama and just remember Jordan/Pippen as they were on the court, amazing Duo

Iv been saying this since he started to talk bad about MJ after the documentary. Scottie disliked, and was jealous of MJ since the beginning. I knew that when he said about not giving MJ his condolences to MJ for his dad I felt like it was over MJ loved his father and just the way MJ is I felt like it was the final straw. I hope Scottie can deal with any and all consequences from his actions. I loved Scottie I still have his jersey but he flat out was wrong the way he responded to the documentary

Another fantastic segment

Great analysis sir!

Good analysis!

There was a lot of whispers back in the day about how Pippen disliked not only Jordan but most of his Bulls tenure as well. And that included Pippen purposely not giving his condolences.

The song "Backstabbers" came to mind here.

Oh I gotta hear this

As a Bulls fan, Scottie has mental issues which is no excuse. Michael always called him his brother and always kept the wolves off of him. We would have a couple of more rings if he would have showed up. You have never heard the fans even mention the times he did goofy shit. Migraines in Detroit, caught with pistol, caught naked at somewhere he should not have been, and out partying the night of important games, Allegedly. ON AND ON

This is just sad! Damn Scottie

I don't think Charles Barkley betrayed Michael Jordan. The Bobcats were struggling, and Barkley gave his honest opinion when he said Michael Jordan wasn't doing a good job.

Agree completely, I put Pippen as a basketball player on par with players like, Ewing, and Barkley So I have some sympathy because he knows history will remember him as Jordans sidekick.

Pippen: "I want to be remembered as the greatest of all time." Jordan: "The greatest what?"

WOW. Just WOW. SMH

PIPPEN DOES NOT TIP AT RESTAURANTS. THAT SAYS IT ALL

i have a scottie pippen jersey in the closet. i don't think i can ever wear that jersey again.

Scottie had his chance to one up MJ. Very few people remember- when Blazers blew their 15-point fourth quarter lead against the Lakers in 2000, puntuated with an alley oop from Kobe to Shaq, Kobe was guarded on that possession by Pippen. Pippen let Kobe drove by him, Brian Grant had to rotate over to stop the driving Kobe, leading to an alley oop dunk by Shaq that totally deflated the Blazers. Lakers had just lost 2 straight to the Blazers, the Blazers led by Pippen was 12 mins away from going to the Finals and was heavily favored against the Pacers in the East. This could have been the ultimate validation for Pippen- he was finally able to lead a team by himself to a championship and he blew it by letting Kobe drive past him. Somehow I bet in his mind, this was MJ's fault again.

Stephen A. Smith is spot on with his comments about Pippen and Jordan.

Hahahhaha dude called luc longley “Wellington” Hahahhaha

I used to be a huge scottie pippen fan. Even my personal game is much influenced by the way he played the game. I wouldn't say that Scottie hated MJ back then but jealousy was there. I think scottie lost his sanity after several personal tragedies in his private life (one of his sons passed away, the cheating and divorce with larsa). His rage against Mj and Phil only destroys his own legacy and reputation. 😔

Dreamerspro show.. 100% team jordan.. he can't do no wrong in this guy's eyes... the most bais sports talk show ever...

Man it's sad, especially when you compare it to the relationship of Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp.

Great video love the channel..

The crazy part about Scottie's hating is Scottie is the only player MJ gave love to in his HOF speech. The only one. And we all need to stop acting like we don't know what this is about: money. MJ net worth listed at $3.2B, Scottie's around $20m. End.

There also were reports that jordan showed him the doc before airing it and he was okay with it but as you say this stemmed way before

This is old news, Stephen A Smith talked about this a year ago.

I do have Scottie over lebron on my list ..

it was a part in the last dance where BJ said “with all the things the media knew, it couldn’t have been just Horace” .. now he knows it was pippen too.

Only thing that can come to mind is that scottie absolutely lost his mind when his wife left him....Thats about the time he started saying these things!

SAS said he was on the phone at that EXACT moment with MJ and quoted him verbatim. 🤔 Sounds like more of the exaggeration and fabrication in his book and what’s hilarious is the book is called Straight Shooter 🤣

Stephen A is exactly 💯 in his assessment! I believe Scottie had completely lost his mind. SMH. Michael has his faults but I'm with Michael when he said "I hope it was worth it.." . Can't believe Scottie said that about not offering his condolences after Michael's father was murdered.

It was hard for me to here Scottie talk that way.... Because besides Jordan i really believed Scottie was a great player until i started doing my research on Scottie and his career before he came in the NBA and his process after he was drafted....He wasn't that good until he was under the tutoring of MJ.... Scottie was soft,and not a dogg ,he came off the bench his first 3 years while Michael was torching the league.... Scottie was averaging,4 points and 2 rebounds per game while Michael won Rookie of the year , defensive player of the year the scoring title and the Dunk contest all in the same year!!!!!....Where was Scottie?

Scottie has really "Beamed Up"...😂😂😂

I knew my mind didn't fool me when I saw the last dance...pippen was laughing and seemed glad during that press conference when mj retired because of his father's death...

Scottie was my favorite player. This hurts me so much. What is he tripping off of. I don't rock with him anymore. Im like Jordan. I hope it was worth it. Smh.

Anybody who reveals a private conversation is not to be trusted.

I thought this was already known? I think Stephen A said this a few months or so back? I was telling my friend last week about Scottie putting that in his book.

Michael Jordan admits he would not have won those 6 championships without Scottie Pippen. But Scottie Pippen doesn't seem to get that he would not have become the player he became or had the hall-of-fame career had it not been for Michael Jordan. MJ without SP may have won who knows how many chamionships without SP - one, two, six, seven - depends on who his teammates may have been. Doubt SP, regardless of who his teammates may have been , wins any withoout MJ.

I agree with your take Charles to a certain extent… from a practical perspective you are right in because Denver is a good team and plays the game the right way… However, due to league still standing behind one player SAS, NW, Shay Shay, Perkins and the rest of the WORLD understands which team if the Nuggets and Lakers played first who would get the benefit of the doubt and favorable whistle treatment… if Joker faces any adversity against this team and the support of the league Nuggets will not be able to overcome the obstacles… fair playing field Nuggets all day, every day and twice on Sunday

Dayum

Scottie can only blame himself, jealousy and hatred get you nowhere, He should be glad that out of so many basketball players he was the one to play along MJ and have the success he had. To say he didn't give his condolences on purpose is the reason he has hit rock bottom, because shit like that comes back to bite you in the ass. Jordan lost his dad, Scottie lost his wife, fans, respect and dignity.

THEY HELP EACH OTHER OUT

I really dont get why teammates were mad at that docu. I didnt think it made them look bad at all. And those events (ex. pippen not checking in) happened and are well known. Its not like mike made that shit up. Pippen should have been accepting of his mistake. It was decades ago.

I seen pip and mj as the best duo ever on the best team ever. It was batman and robin to many. That's two superheroes. Never did i doubt his contributions to the championships. It's sad to hear how much animosity he had towards mj. Pip has all the accolades of a champion and now looks like an ungrateful child. They both laid a blueprint for others to aspire to each in his own lane

We think of green and red with smiles of Christmas time but the that shade of green on Scottie against the background of Bulls red seems to leave with a frown that is so unfortunate. Shadows can hide the illest of wills

It is always good to know the truth, prayers for Pippen and his mental health. And props to Jordan for being a class act, he could of easily responded and destroyed Pippen and his clown posse...

Everyone can say MJ was the greatest, and i agree, but what impressed me even more was how he handled Pippen's statement. You could tell it cut him, but he didnt curse or yell and get mad and call Pippen names. That shows character.

If it was “secretly told” then it was told in confidence, a confidence that SAS betrayed which brings his credibility into question.

Scottie Pippen was always jealous of MJ. But though he was a great player, he wasn’t the caliber of MJ, but no one really was, he was at different level.

Pip is from Arkansas and so am I that’s the mentality of black folks from the Dirty South!

Scottie is hardheaded!!

I have to be polite to people I don’t care for at work, but I could never imagine pretending to be someone’s friend for decades, smiling to their face, while secretly being jealous and hating them to such an extreme level that I would lack the compassion to offer condolences when their parent was murdered. Before the Last Dance Pippen would say Jordan is the GOAT.

Pippen lost an older brother he could have relied on for any and everything he needed but now he can’t take back this betrayal 🙄

What’s funny is MJ never ever claimed to be The GOAT, never said he could win without Pip, got his coach fired or traded his teammates. I guess that’s what makes him The GOAT playing on The GOAT team. 🤷‍♂️

When Jordan returned in 1995, Pippen apparently expected him to be Batman and Jordan to be Robin, because Pippen was in his prime and Jordan was 32 years old, which was past his prime by 90's standards. One day, they were playing a scrimmage, Team Jordan vs. Team Pippen, and Pippen's team was winning, so Pippen started trash-talking Jordan, and Jordan exploded and started scoring in bunches and putting physical and mental pressure on Pippen on and on. Pippen told Jordan to calm down and it stopped, reminding everyone who the team's alpha dog is. It was probably around this time that Pippen began to feel inferior and envious of Jordan. And it seems that Pippen has always felt distant from Jordan. From Jordan's perspective, Pippen was a teammate he respected with affection more than other teammates, but not in the same way he looked at Oakley or Barkley.

Its not a dreamerspro video if it doesn't start with the host "coming across a video"

If Scotty had not played with MJ he’d be a mere footnote in NBA history

Scottie thought he was going to get paid for the documentary, and he didn't. Now he is heated for life.

It's time for Lebron to finally end the debate and challenge Jordan to a twerking contest.

IMO, there is something behind closed doors. His ex-wife and MJ's son, the suddenness of Pippen's turn. There is SOMETHING OFF. I truly believe we're missing something.

I used t wear Pippen shoes then. Wow Scottie, what happened man?

@dreamerspro. I'm a MJ fan and a Chicagian who watched the Bulls win Chips. It amazing me that NOT ONE PERSON will tell the real reason Pippen was upset. When Mike left everybody was expecting the Bulls to be a bottom team but they won 55 games a few games less than the prior year with MJ. Pippen was 3rd in MVP race and MVP of the All Star game . The Bulls were 1 game from going to the championship without Jordan. Despite all the success without him Jordan chose to only point out the most negative thing about Pippen that. Totally unfair. Include the good amd bad not just the picture you want to portray. It would be nice for people to tell the entire story and not just post for clicks.

...YOU GUYS DO KNOW THERE ARE THINGS HAPPENING THAT ARE "NOT" OF 20 YEARS AGO...RIGHT?

People act like Scottie Pipen who was up close and personal in practice and in the locker room with MJ doesn't have a story to tell!

I think this would be a great ending to this story if Jordan gave Scottie a job. Not because Scotty deserves it, but because sometimes we all need to be the bigger person. Sit down and talk about it and squash it. His father would be so proud of him.
