Bullard with choice words about Scottie Pippen. https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/20...e-pippen-not-my-favorite-teammate-on-rockets/ “When Scottie Pippen left the Bulls, I didn’t realize that he was coming off of being very underpaid for seven years,” Bullard said. “I didn’t know that he had that saltiness about being underpaid when he came to us. But I do remember, the rest of us — when Scottie came, and it was already after training camp had started a little bit — he came into Houston, and he never really did integrate himself into the Rockets’ organization.” Bullard continued: He never really tried to make an effort to be a Houston Rocket. … He was coming in thinking, ‘Hey, I’m Michael Jordan.’ I mean, not really Michael Jordan, but ‘I’m Scottie Pippen.’ And the rest of us could feel that. Those types of things still stick with me. … Looking back on all the teammates I’ve had, I would say that Scottie Pippen was not one of my favorite teammates. Because when I did play with him, he wasn’t trying to be a Rocket. He was just trying to be the man, and it didn’t really work. I wonder who else could have been referred to as "not my favorite teammate" over the years... my list: 1. Royce White 2. Dwight Howard 3. Vassilis Spanoulis
that's why I savored when Robert Horry hit clutch shot after shot with the lakers vs Portland. I'm glad he never turned into the 'next pippen'
One of the worst things you can do as a Houston Rocket (probably top 3) is to openly question Rudy T, especially when you weigh 350+
He cost us the playoffs by losing the ball against the Lakers and blamed Barkley - what an asshat! DD
Pippen wanted to be THE MAN. He was an excellent valet but he proved every year but the one full year of MJ baseballing he was just a terrific valet. Syay in your lane, and hey ESPN: off ESPN.
Didn't Barkley take a pay cut so Pippen could come here on a promise that he would be compensated later? At least Barkley gave us his best effort while he was here which is more than anyone could say for Pippen.
Pippen is like KD. Always so senstive and want to be given crazy for everything. Pippen decided to sit and not play after Phil called for a play for Toni. KD always whining at his team if he doesn't get the ball or coach doesn't call a play for him
Pippen lost me when he started complaining about playing too many minutes. We finally PAY this mother****er, and he's complaining about playing? What a world.
Players weren't so business driven in the past, and yes, he did sign a poor contract over 6 years with the Bulls, he is part responsible for it too.
Why was V-span a bad teammate? Royce wasn't an ******* to the teammates mainly, he was one to every fan and the organization. He actually shoved opponents to protect teammates but it went overboard in pre season games. He didn't put bball over his other hobbies.
This thing about Pip being underpaid is getting way more attention than it deserves. MJ was barely making more other than in his last two seasons....
Jordan was savvy enough to sign with Hanes, Nike, Gatorade, Wheaties, Chevrolet, and mob bosses in Atlantic City/Vegas
yep, anytime an end-of-bench role player complains to..the..media about minutes, they are put on The List.
