Scottie Pippen on Michael Jordan: ‘He’s is a very difficult person to deal with. I played with him for years, so I know that when it’s time for you to move in your direction then go in your direction, don’t sit there and try to procrastinate or stretch it that the relationship is not where it was or not what it used to be and it’s never going to be the same, so why try and make something out of nothing, or try to make something that was never there. So yeah, great teammate, but we just never were great friends. -via YouTube / January 19, 2025

Magic Johnson: Nobody that has played could do all the things that Michael Cooper could do. It’s probably Dennis Rodman, Michael Cooper and Scottie Pippen. Those three dudes, and Dennis Johnson, those four for me were the best defenders. They were fast, quick and one step didn’t mean anything (laughs). And they were all mean. Man when I played against all of those dudes, I hated playing against them.” -via SportsKeeda / January 15, 2025
