The Netflix documentary The Last Dance, which was released in 2020, detailed the history of the Chicago dynasty.<\/p>\n<p>H said; <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">&#8211;  &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI seen Michael Jordan play before I came to play with the Bulls. You guys seen him play\u2026he was a horrible player. He was horrible to play with. He was all one-on-one, he\u2019s shooting bad shots, and all of a sudden we become a team and we start winning. Everybody forgot who he was.<\/p>\n<p id=\"w8iUEM\">Truly I am shocked in ways that I didn\u2019t know were possible, because I can\u2019t think of a single person in their right mind that would call Michael Jordan a horrible player. <\/p>\n<p id=\"w8iUEM\">It is even more insane when you factor in the accolades that Jordan accumulated before Pippen even arrived in Chicago, including NBA All-Star and Rookie of the Year. It also has to be factored in that Jordan was a NCAA National Champion with the Tar Heels, and went on to have a highly-decorated college career. <\/p>\n<p>For those who are unaware, Marcus Jordan, the son of Michael Jordan, is supposedly dating Larsa Pippen, ex-wife of Scottie Pippen. <\/p>\n<p>Many online users believe that this is the real cause of Scottie Pippen\u2019s animosity for Jordan. The Twitterati are also pointing out that it might have gotten worse due to Michael Jordan\u2019s unfavourable portrayal of Pippen in the recent documentary \u201cThe Last Dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cLeBron will be the greatest player statistically to ever play the game.
