Scottie Pippen takes a final stance in Michael Jordan-LeBron James debate

Posted Dec 28, 2017
Scottie Pippen said Wednesday that he’s backing his former Bulls teammate after saying earlier this month that LeBron James was “probably ahead” of Michael Jordan statistically speaking. Pippen’s decision to take his Airness over the King comes after former President Barack Obama said he’s team Jordan despite his “love” for James. It appears Pippen seconds Obama’s sentiment.
