Co-host of a TV show ‘The Undisputed’, Skip Bayless, doesn’t seem to be in awe of Scottie Pippen’s abilities. Here is what he had to say about Michael Jordan’s ex-teammate:
“I have been very consistent on this opinion. I started saying this in 1998 when I covered ‘The Last Dance Chicago Bulls’ for the Chicago Tribune. Scottie Pippen was nothing but a very good Robin. Robins are not Top 50 players. Robins are not 21st overall in the pantheon greats. Stop it.”
“I know what is happening here, it’s always been happening that LeBron lovers in the media often vote for Scottie Pippen, so they can say ‘See? We told you. Michael Jordan had an all-time great player right beside him, he had a co-star, top 50 player Scottie Pippen’. Hogwash! Scottie never had superstar intangibles, he was more of a follower than a leader. Way more Robin than Batman,” Skip explained.
