Gilbert Arenas rips Chicago alum Scottie Pippen’s ‘No Bull’ tour

Pippen will be joined by former Bulls teammates Horace Grant and Luke Longley to refute ‘The Last Dance’.

When “The Last Dance” came out on Netflix, most of us were just thankful to have something about the NBA to watch in the absence of live basketball games. But for those depicted in the documentary focused on covering the end of the Chicago Bulls‘ dynasty under Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, the documentary was neither kind nor accurate.

Pippen, in particular, took umbrage with how he was framed in the film, as did former Chicago teammates Horace Grant and Luke Longley. Now, that trio has announced they will go on what they are billing as the “No Bull” tour to refute some of the things portrayed in “The Last Dance” that they do not agree with.

Former NBAer Gilbert Arenas recently weighed in on the news on his “Gil’s Arena” podcast, and shared how he is not into this move by Pippen and Co.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear why.

Scottie Pippen is taking his beef with Michael Jordan on tour

Pippen is launching his “No Bull” tour with teammates Horace Grant and Luke Longley to tell, as they frame it, their version of the events behind “The Last Dance.”

By now, it is no secret that there is no love lost between the main stars from the Chicago Bulls dynasty era of the 1990s and early 2000s that were fueled by the excellent play of His Airness Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Even before “The Last Dance” Netflix documentary on MJ and the Bulls that kept us all sane in the depth of the pandemic, rumbles abounded about the distaste those stars all held one another in, especially Pippen and Jordan.

But now, Pippen has taken things to a new level, launching what he is describing as his “No Bull” tour with teammates Horace Grant and Luke Longley to tell, as they frame it, their version of the events behind “The Last Dance,” and not everyone is feeling it.

To talk it over, the hosts of the “Locked On Bulls” podcast, Haize and Pat The Designer, sat down and drilled deep on a recent episode.

Scottie Pippen, ex-Bulls doing ‘No Bull Tour’ to talk The Last Dance

Former Chicago Bulls Scottie Pippen, Luc Longley, and Horace Grant are embarking on the “No Bull Tour” to discuss “The Last Dance.”

In 2020, “The Last Dance” took over the world. Everyone wanted to learn about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, and the documentary provided an inside look unlikely anything the sports world has seen. It was an incredible viewing experience, but not everybody felt that way by the time it concluded.

Some of Jordan’s teammates, most notably Scottie Pippen, weren’t huge fans of “The Last Dance.” In the years following, Pippen, in particular, has gone on a rampage, slewing Jordan and the doc every chance he gets. And now, he’ll have a chance to tell his side of the story on a much grander scale.

In partnership with the NBL, Pippen and former Bulls teammates Luc Longley and Horace Grant are embarking on the “No Bull Tour” to discuss the documentary, among other things.

The tour will begin in Tasmania on February 23 before making stops in Sydney and Melbourne. It’s sure to produce plenty of viral quotes.

NBA stars who had a winning record against Michael Jordan

There aren’t many stars who can boast about besting Michael Jordan, widely regarded as the greatest of all time by most basketball fans. Though MJ gave everybody the business, a bunch of NBA luminaries managed to beat him more often than not during his early days with the weak Chicago Bulls roster in the mid-80s or when he donned the Washington Wizards jersey.

Few accomplished that when MJ and his team were at the peak of their powers – most notably a towering center from the Western Conference.

Here’s a list of stars who retired with a winning record against the GOAT:

Where Rockets rank in updated list of 77 greatest NBA players of all-time

With 77 NBA seasons in the books, @HoopsHype issued an updated list of the greatest 77 players of all-time. Here’s where players with #Rockets ties were ranked.

The 2023-24 regular season is the NBA’s 78th overall, which means 77 seasons are in the books.

With that in mind, our friends at HoopsHype recently compiled an updated list of the NBA’s best 77 players of all time, complete with statistics and information through the 2022-23 campaign.

As one might expect, the Rockets are well represented. Along with many All-Stars over the years, they had three Most Valuable Player (MVP) award winners: Hakeem Olajuwon, Moses Malone and James Harden. Historically, Houston is among the league’s top franchises.

Granted, the Rockets haven’t won a championship since Olajuwon led them to their only two in the 1994 and 1995 NBA Finals. But the hope is that could change in the years ahead. If it does, perhaps a rising star such Jalen Green, Amen Thompson or Jabari Smith Jr. might crack an updated version of this list in a decade or so.

For now, with the start of 2023-24 training camp only days away, here’s a look back at where legacy Rockets stand on HoopsHype’s updated list of the 77 greatest players in NBA history.

Michael Jordan shares thoughts on son dating Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife

Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan shared his thoughts on his son, Marcus Jordan, dating Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife, Larsa Pippen.

[anyclip pubname=”2123″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8169″]

The 1990s Chicago Bulls were on top of the world, taking the nation and the world, by storm. Not only did they win six championships in eight seasons, but the pure star power of Michael Jordan made them the most popular basketball team in the history of the sport, at least for that decade.

However, a couple of years ago, a documentary called “The Last Dance” was released. It covered the history of the Bulls dynasty with a focus on their last title run together as a team. The documentary led to a beef between Jordan and Scottie Pippen, and recent developments have added new layers to it.

Jordan’s son, Marcus Jordan, has been dating Pippen’s ex-wife, Larsa Pippen, and he’s been doing it very much in the public eye. Paparazzi caught up with Jordan in Paris and asked him about the entanglement.

A member of the paparazzi shouted at Jordan, asking him his thoughts and whether or not he approves of the couple. Jordan laughed, replying with a staunch “no” and shaking his head.

Jordan and Pippen have been involved in a public beef for months at this point, though it has seemed mostly one-sided.

Pippen has made an array of disparaging comments about Jordan to the media. He called him a “horrible player” and stated he doesn’t think they will ever speak again.

For two players who played with each other as long as they did, and with the amount of success they had, it’s a bit shocking to see how far their relationship has gone downhill.

Bill Walton ‘shocked’ by Scottie Pippen’s treatment of Michael Jordan

During a recent podcast appearance, Bill Walton spoke about Chicago Bulls’ Scottie Pippen’s treatment of Michael Jordan.

For years, the Chicago Bulls lived on top of the NBA world. Led by Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and the likes of Dennis Rodman, they dominated the 1990s, winning six championships in eight years and going undefeated in the NBA Finals. Everything went Chicago’s way, and they reaped the rewards.

However, two years ago, a documentary was released called “The Last Dance,” which detailed Chicago’s run and, more specifically, their final season together. It ended up rubbing Pippen the wrong way, and ever since, his relationship with Jordan has gone downhill. Just this year, he’s made multiple disparaging remarks about his former teammate.

During a recent appearance on Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson’s podcast, NBA legend Bill Walton spoke about Pippen’s comments. He said that he’s “shocked” by the way he has treated Jordan, making his disappointment clear.

“I’m shocked and dismayed,” Walton said. “Those words are not strong enough to relate my feelings as the way that Scottie Pippen treats Michael Jordan. That’s just not right.”

Pippen has been on a rampage, slewing Jordan every chance he’s gotten. One of the most notable comments he made was calling Jordan a “horrible player,” stating that the potential GOAT wasn’t a winner until he and the rest of the team formed around him.

Jordan and Pippen are widely regarded as one of the best duos in all of sports history, so to see the two be at odds must be rough for Bulls fans who spent so long idolizing them as a duo.

Jerry West talks beef between Bulls’ Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen

NBA Hall-of-Famer Jerry West discussed the recent beef between Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.

The Chicago Bulls are one of the best franchises in the league, and it’s largely thanks to Michael Jordan, who, alongside Scottie Pippen, dominated an entire decade of NBA basketball. The duo won six championships in eight seasons in the 1990s, destroying any other team that got in their way.

However, in recent years, the relationship between the two stars has taken a turn for the worst. Ever since the release of “The Last Dance,” a documentary about Jordan, the Bulls, and their last season together as a dynasty, things have gotten ugly. Most recently, Pippen tore into Jordan, calling him “a horrible player.”

During a recent appearance on “Podcast P with Paul George,” NBA Hall-of-Famer Jerry West weighed in on the beef, admitting he doesn’t understand what happened with the two stars. (H/t Fadeaway World)

“Well, obviously, I know Michael well, but I don’t know Scottie that well. I don’t. But he’s always been very pleasant and very nice to me,” West said. “And I admired him tremendously as a player. He got better every year. He wasn’t somebody that just fell off a cliff. He was a really good player… If you look at a team [like the 1990s Bulls], you would think that those guys like that would have the most special relationship in the world. I just haven’t understood that [the beef].”

Obviously, the memories Jordan and Pippen gave to Bulls fans will live on forever, but at this point, their personal relationship may be beyond repair.

3-time Bulls champ hopes Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen ‘work it out’

Three-time Chicago Bulls champion Scott Williams wants to see Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen work things out amid their ongoing beef.

In the 1990s, the Chicago Bulls were on top of the world. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen led them to six championships in eight seasons. Just a few years ago, “The Last Dance” came out – a documentary detailing the 90s Bulls and, more specifically, their last season and last championship together.

However, since then, Pippen and Jordan have been publicly beefing, with Pippen doing most of the talking. He recently called Jordan “a horrible player.” During a recent chat with HoopsHype, Scott Williams, who was a part of the first three Bulls title teams, spoke about the pair’s ongoing feud.

He said that he hopes Jordan and Pippen can sit down and work things out at some point, but he has no plans on getting in the middle of it all.

“Yeah, it’s been sad for my heart to really see and listen to some of the things that have been going on with Scottie. I don’t hear much from Michael. On Michael’s side, he just seems to be quiet on it. But Scottie is really upset, and I don’t particularly know 100 percent all of it. I just try to stay in my lane and let those heavyweights battle those types of things out, but I hope that they find some time to pick up a phone or sit down together and work it out.”

Williams doesn’t fully understand why Pippen was so upset at the documentary.

“I get it as Michael Jordan financed the documentary, and I’m sure he stirred a little bit towards himself because of that, but he gave Pippen the ultimate compliment that he was my favorite teammate of all time, and without Scottie I don’t win the six championships,” said Williams. “So I don’t understand what more he really wanted from Michael that Michael didn’t give him that is considered a slight. That’s the hard part for me on that one.”

For now, it seems like Jordan’s and Pippen’s beef will continue.
