That 94 team still had MJs imprint. 95 Scottie is temperamental the team isn't as good.
The MJ rumors of him are coming back. Batman returns Scottie is now Robin again

Pippen i guess is what you would call the leader cuz of the rings and experience but he wasn't the on court leader.
That game 7 against the lakers, Pippen was 3-10 and 0-3 in the fourth quarter. A negative 17 in the 4th quarter.
If he was that guy y'all want him to be he should have made a shot in the 4th quarter to stop the bleeding
Mike gives and has always given Scottie praise. It's the public that downplays Pippens role and has basically turned being called the "Pippen to someone's MJ" an insult.
The phantom foul that the ref would later admit was a bullshit call

Game 4 the 98 series against the Pacers. This the game Reggie hit the 3.
Scottie had an opportunity to ice the game at the free throw line.
Go to 5:40. Scottie wanted no parts of the free throws. He short armed both.
This not the guy you want taking a shot in the 4th quarter

Probably by far my one knock against Pippen. I watched game and wonder why Pippen wasn't on the floor. After Kukoc hit that game winner and I found out why...I just smmfh @ Pip man. C'mon bruh.
Cartwright was giving him the business on the bench

Honestly if we're being really...REALLY real...I've ALWAYS credited 3 of them 6 titles to 3 other Bulls players...
John Paxson 3pt that put us up by 1 in that game 6 series against the Suns
Steve Kerr game winner against the Jazz
Horace Grant...yes Horace Grant. Back to that game 6 against the Suns, that shot Paxson hit only put us up by 1. Suns got the ball wit 3.9sec left. Ball got inbounded, and Kevin Johnson was going up to take a shot. He was a lil past the free throw line, and had a clear shot. Hell he actually got by, but Grant actually reached back and blocked it to seal the game. If it wasn't for that block, I think KJ would've hit that shot for the game winner, and sent it to a game 7.

Once a staple of the fin-de-siècle Chicago Stadium scoreboard, the M&M race was the sprinkling on top of the ultimate sporting delight, a tasty bit of timeout entertainment to keep Bulls fans amped as the best basketball team on the planet schemed amid the screams. But when Michael Jordan turned up at the arena one day for shootaround, this sweet in-game set piece – an 8-bit, one-lap time trial between three candy-coated sprinters – transformed into something altogether sour: yet another opportunity to dupe Scottie Pippen.

As the legend goes, Jordan notices the M&M race unfolding overhead and beckons a Bulls staffer to explain what he’s seeing. Told it’s a dry-run of that night’s race, history’s most noted competition addict then asks if the winner is predetermined – and gets the answer he seeks. Cut to later that night: The Bulls call a timeout, and Jordan takes a sideline seat among his teammates as the M&M race is about to begin. He nudges Pippen and says something on the order of “I’ve got five grand on yellow.” Pippen takes the bait and, bless, keeps getting taken for years before he ever gets wise.
As old wives’ tales went during the Bulls’ Ring Dynasty, the M&M race story typifies the genre, crystalizing the perception of Pippen as the loyal but naïve sidekick – the Pinky to Jordan’s Brain. Just when it seemed as if enough time had passed for Pippen to step into his true legacy as a game-changing small forward whose tenacity at both ends – and knack for drawing legitimate offensive fouls in particular – trailed only Jordan himself, the Last Dance documentary came roaring in like Dennis Rodman on a Harley to paint Pippen as the consummate beta male.
Here again he falls victim to the Jordan okey-doke. One minute The Man is saying stuff like: “Whenever they speak Michael Jordan, they should speak Scottie Pippen” – the ultimate compliment, seemingly; the next, Jordan is presenting the closing 1.8 seconds Pippen sat out of Bulls’ 1994 playoff game as a moment of infamy that his best-ever teammate will never live down. Pippen, heaven help him, cannot stop taking the bait.
In a spicy interview with GQ’s Tyler R Tynes late last month, Pippen labeled Jordan “selfish” while defending his own decision to remain on the Chicago Stadium sideline for the rest of that second-round clash with the Knicks when the final play of the game was drawn for rookie Toni Kukoc – calling the decision a “pretty low blow”, then a racially motivated move. Days later, while appearing on The Dan Patrick Show, Pippen put that last charge at the feet of coach Phil Jackson.

“Then you’re calling Phil Jackson a racist?” Patrick asked.
“I have no problem with that,” Pippen replied. “Oh yeah.”
Not surprisingly, condemnation fell down on Pippen as hard and fast as an elbow from Shaquille O’Neal. The noted clutch shooter Robert Horry defended his former Lakers coach as a cultural klutz at worst. “Phil is definitely not racist,” Shaq told Fansided.com. Charles Barkley, a longtime adversary of Pippen’s on and off court, accused the former Bulls star of “burning every bridge. (…) It’s silly and stupid.” Given that Pippen’s comments came as he was on a press tour to promote a new bourbon brand and tease a forthcoming book, it’s fair to wonder if maybe he was just suffering a hangover from pulling a Hemingway. (Also, as Jordan himself was keen to point out: Pippen does have a history of migraines.) Still, as the whiskey bard himself wrote in his 1950 novel Across the River and into the Trees, “When people talk listen completely. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe.”
Pippen did play most of his 17-year career under Jackson. And for all of the 11-time champion coach’s Midas touch with superstars like Jordan, Shaq and Kobe Bryant, Jackson’s book 2001 More Than a Game recycles the old stereotype of white players as “more often willing to run patterns and work collectively” while black players aspire to be “the best one-on-one players”. In a 2005 interview with the San Bernardino Sun, Jackson argued that the NBA’s new dress code didn’t go far enough. “The players have been dressing in prison garb the last five or six years,” he said. “To a majority of these young men, the rap stars, hip-hop guys are really kind of like heroes or colleagues. (…) We even have some that are owners in the league.”
And who can forget Jackson, while the Knicks president, obliterating the team’s long-shot chance of luring LeBron James to the Big Apple after dismissing longtime friends and business partners Rich Paul, Maverick Carter and Randy Mims as James’s “posse”. Even the coach’s tight embrace of eastern philosophy and Native American culture, in retrospect, looks a bit cringe for a snow-white missionary kid from rural Montana. (We get it, Phil, you did a ton of drugs in the ‘70s.) “He’s said some stuff before that I had to check him on,” Horry conceded on his podcast. Phil Jackson, ESPN’s Rachel Nichols now: these were supposed to be prime examples of good white folk. But through their words – Nichols’s not meant for public consumption, of course – the coach and the presenter (quick to weaponize her tears on Monday for a hollow on-air apology that was barely as long as a Greek Freak free throw) nonetheless reveal that their apparent conviction for fairness and inclusion lags far behind in the inner M&M race against their innate sense of superiority and their unimpeachable sense of entitlement. Sorry, allies, but these aren’t touch fouls; they’re a flagrant two and, alas, too sure a thing for many who mark themselves as down for the cause.

Still miffed by the ‘best sidekick ever’ millstone, the Bulls icon spared no one in a scorched-earth GQ interview. None of it comes as a shock, nor should the fact he keeps taking the bait Scottie Pippen watches pre-game warm-ups during a 2020 game between the 76ers and Warriors at the Chase...

This man was betting on the M&M race they play during the TOs?
Jordan got a serious gambling problem, it’s just he got more than enough money to mask it.
