Scottie Pippen has made a lot of headlines the past few days, and he's still making headlines today.

The Chicago Bulls' legend showed up in The Dan Patrick Show last Monday. He threw shade on KD, called Phil Jackson a 'racist' and claimed he never had an off-court relationship with MJ. Now, he made another intriguing statement.

The six-time NBA Champ talked about Jordan's decision to leave basketball at the end of the 1993 season to pursue a baseball career. And he described it as «selfish».

"Yeah It was a big decision, but It was a selfish decision, but it was kind of who Michael Jordan was. That was a guy who believed he can do anything on his own" Pippen said.



The Bulls went on to lose two playoffs in a row in 1994 and 1995 even after Jordan came back in 1995. Till now, many were thinking that the Bulls could've win 8 straight championships had Michael Jordan not retire after the 1993 NBA season.

For now, no one is safe from Pippen's criticism.
