Live Bar, May 27 news recently, Bull Mingshu Pippen talked about GOAT in The “Gimme The Hot Sauce” program.
Pippen said: “I don’t think there is the greatest player. If I say so, I am also the greatest player myself. The greatness of a player does not depend on what others say. Yokiki is a two-time MVP, which might have become a three-time MVP, but he has not been recognized by his peers. Unless I can win, I don’t want to hear you say that this is a great player. LeBlanc is probably one of the greatest winners. He doesn’t have so many rings, but how many people can win like him? Is he the greatest player in history? No. Jordan is probably one of the greatest scorers, but Jabbar is probably the greatest scorer.
“So, it is hard for me to say who is the greatest player in history. I have never seen Bill Russell play, I have only seen videos, and I am not his fan. I didn’t say he was not great, but I wouldn’t think he was the greatest player in history.
“I don’t think there is such a greatest player, because basketball is a team sport, and a single player can’t win. Before I came to the bull, you all saw Jordan play, he is a bad player and he is a bad teammate (He was a horrible player, he was horrible to play with). He has been in singles all the time, and his shot is very bad. When we play as a team, we start to win. Everyone forgot what he was like before. In the past, the most important thing in his heart was not to win but to score. He only wanted to win the score and didn’t change until Phil Jackson appeared, people need to take time to digest these facts, and you won’t see them in documentaries.”
