Basketball Hall of Famer Bill Walton expressed his astonishment and disappointment at Scottie Pippen's recent criticisms of Michael Jordan. Pippen's ongoing feud with Jordan seems to originate from his portrayal in "The Last Dance" documentary, which chronicled the rise and fall of the Chicago Bulls dynasty.

In recent interviews, Pippen has intensified his critique of Jordan, calling him a "horrible player" in his early career and arguing that LeBron James boasts superior career statistics. He even suggested that Jordan's legacy wouldn't exist without his contributions.

These comments have stunned Walton, who voiced his disapproval on "Scoop B Radio." "I'm shocked and dismayed, and those words aren't strong enough to express how I feel about Scottie Pippen's treatment of Michael Jordan," Walton stated. He emphasized his admiration for the Bulls' teamwork and selflessness, contrasting it with Pippen's current stance. Walton praised the Denver Nuggets for embodying these same team-oriented principles that led to the Bulls' success.

Walton's sentiments highlight the impact of Pippen's memoir, released in 2021, which further fueled the conflict between the two former teammates. The book amplified Pippen's criticisms of Jordan's leadership, exacerbating their already strained relationship.
