LeBron James passed Scottie Pippen on a major all-time record, days after the Chicago Bulls legend’s controversial statement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scottie Pippen<\/a> is widely known for being the second-star behind Michael Jordan<\/a> during the Chicago Bulls<\/a> dynasty’s six NBA Championship runs in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

As a result, Pippen quickly gained popularity for his incredible two-way game on the court.<\/p>\n

While there is no doubt that Scottie is an NBA legend, most do not feel the same about his takes on other NBA stars.<\/p>\n

Scottie Pippen placed himself ahead of LeBron James<\/h2>\n

For years, Pippen stood firm on MJ’s status as the GOAT. However, things changed when Pippen got mad following his depiction in ESPN’s The Last Dance<\/a> docuseries on Netflix.<\/p>\n

Since then, the 6x NBA champ has taken multiple shots at his former teammate<\/a>. In fact, he even declared LeBron James the GOAT over Jordan amid all the chaos.<\/p>\n

But what if Pippen was asked to pick between himself and James as the better player? Well, the former Bulls star shocked many with his answer.<\/p>\n

“You want individual accolades or you want championships? Because I didn\u2019t chase mine. I\u2019m speaking from a team standpoint, I look at basketball from a team standpoint. My success as a team is more successful than LeBron. I got six rings,” Pippen said on the PBD Podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was a brutal swipe at the King’s legacy. While Pippen does have more rings than James, it’s fair to assume his championship tally would be lower if he didn’t play with Jordan on the Bulls.<\/p>\n
