“MJ Was NEVER Horrible!” – Chris Broussard EXPOSES Scottie Pippen’s Bitterness on Jordan’s Greatness

Scottie Pippen, once revered as Michael Jordan’s right-hand man during the Chicago Bulls’ six championship runs, has sparked yet another firestorm of controversy.

In a shocking statement, Pippen claimed that Jordan was “a horrible player” before the Bulls became a dynasty, accusing him of selfish play and bad shot selection.

While the remarks have sent shockwaves through the basketball world, Chris Broussard has stepped in to deliver a reality check, exposing the bitterness behind Pippen’s revisionist history.

Let’s rewind to the beginning.

When Michael Jordan entered the NBA in 1984, he didn’t need years to prove himself.

From his rookie season, Jordan was a force of nature.

He averaged 28.2 points per game, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists, shooting an impressive 51% from the field.

He was immediately named Rookie of the Year, selected to the All-Star game, and earned a spot on the All-NBA Second Team.

These are not the stats of a “horrible” player—they’re the stats of a generational talent.

By his third season, Jordan was putting up an unfathomable 37.1 points per game, leading the league in scoring while maintaining a 48% field goal percentage.

He was dragging a weak Bulls roster into the playoffs, facing juggernauts like Larry Bird’s Celtics and Isaiah Thomas’ Pistons.

This was during an era defined by brutal physical defenses that would be outlawed in today’s NBA.

Jordan didn’t just survive—he thrived.

The numbers don’t lie, and they paint a picture of dominance, not mediocrity.

So why would Pippen, who benefited immensely from playing alongside Jordan, make such a claim? Chris Broussard offers a blunt explanation: bitterness.

“Scottie flip-flops too much,” Broussard said.

“One day it’s Jordan, the next it’s LeBron, then back to Jordan. This isn’t objective truth, it’s personal bitterness.”

Pippen’s comments reflect a deeper resentment, one rooted in living under the shadow of Jordan’s greatness for decades.

Pippen’s own rise in the NBA tells a different story—one that underscores Jordan’s role in his development.

When Pippen joined the Bulls in 1987, he was raw and unrefined, averaging just seven points per game as a rookie.

Over the next few years, his game improved steadily, but the turning point was his proximity to Jordan.

Pippen learned how to work, how to prepare, and how to compete at the highest level by watching and practicing with Jordan.

He mirrored Jordan’s movements, mimicked his intensity, and absorbed his mentality.

Without Jordan’s relentless standard, it’s doubtful that Pippen would have become the Hall of Famer we remember today.

Broussard didn’t mince words: “If Pippen had gone to another team, he might never have become a Hall of Famer. But if any other talented wing had gone to Chicago playing alongside Jordan, the Bulls still would have won titles.”

This is the harsh truth that Pippen’s bitterness tries to obscure.

Michael Jordan didn’t need Pippen to become Jordan.

From the moment he stepped onto the court, Jordan was already the storm.

What he lacked was teammates strong enough to transform that storm into a dynasty.

Pippen was one of those teammates, but he wasn’t the catalyst—Jordan was.

The idea that Jordan was “horrible” before the Bulls became a championship team is not just false—it’s a blatant distortion of history.

Jordan’s greatness was evident from day one, and his early years were marked by unprecedented individual success.

What changed when Pippen arrived wasn’t Jordan’s talent—it was the team’s ability to harness that talent into victories.

Pippen grew into an elite defender and versatile player, but his growth was forged in the fire of Jordan’s intensity.

To call Jordan “horrible” is to spit on the foundation that made Pippen who he is.

It’s a betrayal of memory, a desperate attempt to rewrite history in favor of personal pride.

But history doesn’t bend to bitterness.

The truth is clear: Scottie Pippen without Michael Jordan is an unanswered question.

Michael Jordan without Scottie Pippen is still Michael Jordan.

The Bulls’ dynasty was a team effort, but Jordan was the gravitational force that made it all possible.

Teammates didn’t simply play alongside him—they revolved around him.

Jordan elevated everyone, from Pippen to Horace Grant to Steve Kerr.

Even Dennis Rodman found structure within Jordan’s orbit.

This is the difference Pippen refuses to admit.

Jordan didn’t just play the game—he bent the game to his will, transforming role players into champions and molding inconsistent pieces into legends.

Chris Broussard’s breakdown of Pippen’s comments cuts to the heart of the issue.

“Jordan’s early years weren’t horrible—they were historic. He didn’t need Pippen to be great. He was already the standard of greatness.”

Broussard’s analysis exposes the hypocrisy in Pippen’s narrative, revealing it as less about truth and more about personal wounds.

“Hurt people hurt people,” Broussard said.

“And Pippen, still living under Jordan’s shadow, lashes out to make himself feel taller.”

But no bitterness, no revision, no desperate words can erase the truth.

Michael Jordan was never horrible.

He was fear.

He was fire.

He was inevitability.

From his first game to his final championship, Jordan set the standard for greatness, and no amount of resentment can rewrite that legacy.

Pippen’s remarks may echo loud, but they do not echo true.

They are the cries of a man still struggling to escape the shadow of a legend.

Meanwhile, Jordan’s greatness remains carved in stone—six rings, six Finals MVPs, and a legacy that stands tall when all lies fall.

History has already answered Pippen, and its answer is eternal: Michael Jordan was, is, and will forever be the standard of basketball greatness.
